I have to laugh because people have lived for years without an ID and all of a sudden they are crying foul because you have to show one to vote?

lovely.
I love the arguments about voter ID. They drive me insane for one reason: It is eminently possible to go through life in the US with not "acceptable" form of ID, and without a birth certificate.

Want to have fun? Retire without a birth certificate. The gentleman I'm thinking of had multiple forms of ID, military, state, etc.......but went through hell trying to retire because Social Security didn't have his birth cert.

Maybe the birthers could have helped him find it?

(BTW, the person was a foundling in upstate NY, hence no Birth Cert. and a SS number issued when he joined the military)
