so if IDs need to be free to allow this to pass, let's do it. i'll gladly pay a little more in taxes for that.someone who is aware of the candidates, their history, what they stand for, and the process in general…

you referenced amendment 24?
I wouldn't say that a multi-million dollar operation is equivalent to tire slashing, but yes, both sides commit voter fraud.

I agree, a public ID card could solve this issue. I also believe that Public Campaign/finance reform will solve a good portion of voting issues. I also believe that this will convert us from a two party system to a multiparty system. This would allow individuals like (and I stress the word "like" because both these folks have money) Perot and Nader would have stronger voices. Green party affiliates along with liberatarians...etc.

A win win

Imagine the day that we vote for 1 out of 6 extreamly competent presidential options....not two...not a blue state/red state affiliation. Not a "I have more money so I can advertise and hire better PR" thing. I want a leader...not a damn plastic politician. Not a "I swing this way and they swing that way" option. It's not one or the other. You guy's would be suprised as how centrist I stand. And for whatever it's worth, I'm a strong believer and supporter in Mark Warner for 08....Southerners agree and this guy can make things happen.
