President McCain wants internal passports

[pretzel4gore]

actually, internal passports (real id) could be a good idea (need for/in order to buy fuel/ammo/food, board a bus/airplane, enter a supermarket/mall, go to school, church, get healthcare, vote, buy a car, use gov service or use toll road/interstate hiway etc) as criminals and other lowlifes wouldn't clog up the waiting lines, and make it thus faster wait for those who are legally entitled ...of course, rightwingers/insiders would be issued special 'dispense' either papers or microchip implants which would make them 'clear' for lifetime and unaffected by security roadblocks- they'd just honk and wave through, and indeed would be rewarded by getting lower rates/free services etc if they wanted to waste time/hsssle:). Many 'antis' won't like this, but...it's already being arranged (according to Greg Palast, the '08 election already decided, millions of 'democratic' votes will be 'challenged' quietly of course, and thus eliminated, in swing states, enough to give the job to the warhero)
Since nobody seems to mind this, might as well celebrate the grotesque blade-runner aspects of it.....i have no hostages to fortune

3. Hmm. Didn't citizens have to show their travel papers at checkpoints set up throughout Nazi Germany?

6. Ya if you are a Northerner you might not be able to travel to

other states near the border, etc. It's like Russia restricting our movements so we can't leave and they can keep track of us. They hate freedom and democracy. They fear the people and for good reason considering what they have done to this country.

4. ZOMG, McCain is the AntiChrist

"And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name." Revelations 13:17

Fundies would have a field day with that.

5. The Republicans are getting more and more like the Soviet Union

The Soviet Union has internal passports as well. Tourists visiting were
required to give their whole itinerary to the government in advance, and
sent the KGB out to look for you if you didn't appear where you were supposed
to when you were supposed to.

All this plus the Stalinist trait of being the "ones who count the votes,"
in order to maintain power, it's amazing the Republicans haven't shed the
elephant for the hammer and sickle. That plus the Cyrillic alphabet is just
about all that is separating them from their Soviet role models at this point.

7. Where is this article at Greg Palast's site? I can't find it.

10. i heard Greg with Al Franken this afternoon

om ..not sure what the show was, but Palast talked about how the dems doing their aw shucks cowardly lion act while the votecount was being defrauded in '04 and '02 etc....perhaps i misunderstood that the article is still being readied, but knowing the facts anyway the outrage so bitter feel we must assume the worst and try somehow to get the herd to look around and see the herders have driven them into some swamp of endless despair or something- jesus christ can't they at least do that? LOOK! Go to http://www.novamradio.com/index.php?pid=30 for Air America radio and join the nova m founders' club, if you can...and keep track of the basic idea that representative gov has been overthrown, to the extent the people remain on the sidelines, chewing their dopey cud aka the mass media, though it's going to cost them everything

9. Your papers, please? nt

11. Lets not forget the quiet enablers that allow all of this nonsense...

to go on. For some reason many Americans believe that we have a party problem in this country, when in fact it is an elite problem purchasing our politicians to move forward their agenda. If we continue to think this way, they will continue to destroy our country. The republican party is just the party that has the "BAD GUY" role so the democrats can have the "HERO GOOD GUY" role, if Americans knew what was going on, they would revolt but instead we close our eyes and minds and except their WWE wrestling style of government.

As long as we ignore the truth because we don't want to have to actually fight or stand for our rights, we will continue to lose them and our country.

12. Internsl Passports is a GREAT idea!

It's even BETTER than electronic voting! (I can't find a DU "smilie" that would express my exact emotions at this point)
