 money. Paying people in health care is like paying them in corn. It's 
 stupid.

Here's another way of looking at it. Every single vote that is cast that
should not be allowed disenfranchises someone who legitimately could
vote and disagreed with the illegal voter. That makes keeping illegal
votes out just as important as making sure that legal ones are allowed.
Of course do we hear any of that from Democrats? They don't want
compulsory ID required to vote, they don't want to even exclude illegal
aliens or people who call themselves Mary Poppins. I'm supposed to take
these people, Democrats, as serious, well considered, politically
believable individuals?
