Subject: Re: NeoCons, "Israel!" and Republicans
Democrats generally think the only effect these laws have is keeping legal people from voting. If everyone had an ID Democratic opposition would vanish. But if everyone had an ID then there would no longer be much benefit to the GOP to enacting these kinds of laws, so there's that....

And yet, the democrats can engage in horse trading at any time...and yet refuse to. Perhaps you're the one vastly overestimating your party's proclivities to do good and instead are falling for the left wing version of what we on the right call "Republican failure theater": where some conservative position that would undoubtedly do the country some good is merely given lip service by the Establishment Republican types (almost always in the Senate) who ultimately fail to deliver but make it look like they're trying. So as to not appear completely useless to the donor base, you see.
