So when you don't know the cost of a program, the cost concern becomes irrelevant? That seems a bit out of character for you.

Quote from: derspiess on June 28, 2013, 03:41:12 PMOkay, cost per year.

Aren't you the one who's supposed to be the fiscal conservative, concerned about ill defined budget items and the foolishness of implementing programs without considering their cost?

Yessir.

But in this case you're willing to accept that the costs are small until you get evidence to the contrary?

Of all the objections to voter ID offered so far, this is by far the most trivial.

You sure?  It is not like the election commissions are super well funded.

I'm fairly confident the cost will be very small potatoes in the context of the overall state budget.

I'm less sure than you were about the legality of screaming one's head off in the Texas Senate gallery.

Typical spendthrift liberals promoting government intrusion and dismissing the costs as trivial.

Oh wait... not the liberals. The other guys.

I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

I am simply amazed to find that it turns out that supposedly "fundamental" beliefs in core principles turn out to be thrown aside for nearly trivial political expedience.

I don't think the GOP is opposed to goverment spending on principal.

Seriously Jake, this is the kind of line that would have the MSNBC/Bill Maher crowd roaring with laughter and high-fiving each other over the ridiculous inconsistency of those pinhead Republicans, but five bucks for each person who doesn't have a photo ID and wants one is chump change.

I had to pay 20 bucks to get my driver's license renewed.

What does that have to do with a free vote ID?
