From the GA.gov website:

Any person that is old enough to sign their name, or make a mark indicating their legal signature can apply to the DDS for a identification card. You must provide acceptable proof of identification. You can apply for an identification card if your Georgia driver license is suspended or revoked. You do not have to surrender a Georgia identification card when you get a Georgia driver license or your Georgia driver license is reinstated.

A identification card contains the same personal information, photo, signature and special protection against alteration and fraud as a driver license. The cost of the Identification Card is $20.00 for 5 years or $32 for a card valid 8 years.

All documents must be in English. Click here Translator List to locate an approved document translation company.

Anyone applying for a Georgia identification card must provide a social security number at the time of issuance. It is not necessary to have your original social security card.

We have required Voter ID in order to vote for several years. I have lived in GA for 9 years and have ALWAYS been required to provide ID.

I believe that anyone who argues that requiring ID is racist, is someone who assumes that black people are either:
1) Too stupid to be able to go to a Drivers' License office
2) Too illiterate to read the instructions on how to get an ID card
3) Incapable of transacting ANY kind of business in the course of their lives, including cashing a check or applying for welfare (which requires ID)

In my opinion, anyone who believes these things is, themselves, RACIST! When a state has Voter ID laws, which were enacted to prevent fraud, people who care enough to vote will care enough to have ID. People who object to these laws support voter fraud.

You make a good point there. I can't tell you the number of commercials I see where I find myself thinking "What in the heck was THAT about?" My kids tell me that I am NOT the demographic the advertiser is after. Apparently these nonsensical commercials make sense to them.

But let's look at the ads shown during the Super Bowl. As I recall, there were a TON for various kinds of expensive cellphones. People my age do not stand in line at the Best Buy to be the first to buy the newest cellphone. Then there are all the beer ads. I look forward to the new beer ads because they are often pretty funny. But I don't really buy much beer - although males 18 - 49 buy a heck of a lot of it. Movie ads. Hmmm, I don't plan to see ANY of the stupid movies that were advertised during the Super Bowl - although I bet males 18-49 will be.

So what advertising WOULD work on me? I liked the Doritos ads. I thought they were really clever, especially the one with the dog. Made me want a bag of Doritos. I like the VW ads a LOT. Very clever. That's pretty much it.

Maybe I'm naive, but is the Susan G. Komen Foundation somehow OBLIGATED to provide Planned Parenthood with funding? I thought charitable foundations could spend their money any way they want to, as long as the spending is in keeping with the stated purpose of the foundation. The Komen Foundation could have just decided to take the money they had previously given to PP and used it to fund another breast cancer research or treatment center, and say "Sorry, PP, we don't have money for everyone and, after all, it's such a miniscule portion of your overall funding, you won't even miss it." Was this just a massive public relations debacle on someone's part at Komen?

All I know is all of my "Progressive" friends and acquaintances are delighting in the Komen Foundation backing down on this decision, which was absolutely their right to make! They really do see this as a huge victory for the baby-killing crowd.

I was thinking that myself. Let's see... Alec Baldwin, Barbra Streisand, Sean Penn, George Clooney...

Actually, the left is working hard to strike down the laws that consider it a double murder, because they believe it is the slippery slope to outlawing abortion.

This is why I hate politics. Politicians will say anything to get elected. So few have any integrity. Now we see outspoken pundits like Ann Coulter, who has the freedom to say pretty much anything she wants, talking Romney down, until her guy decides not to run, and now she talks everyone else down, saying Romney is the only one who can win. Makes me wonder who got to her, or what she's been paid. I used to enjoy Ann Coulter and think she had brains, integrity and humor. Now I'm sorry to see that I was wrong.

The other thing about that publicity stunt - dreamed up by Pontiac's marketing people, NOT Queen Oprah - is that these idiots (and apparently a whole lot of other people in America) genuinely thought Oprah bought all of those cars herself to give away. It was a promotional gimmick to launch the Pontiac G6 model, for heaven's sake. I don't think it worked, 'cause I rarely saw a G6 driving around, but that's all it was. It was NOT a generous gesture from Oprah's heart.

So do ya think Romney has promised Marco Rubio the VP slot? He sure is getting vocal in his support for Romney. Does anyone know if there has been a resolution to the question of whether Rubio is eligible for the Presidency, ie, his "natural born citizen" status? Or has Obama's presidency made that point moot from here on out?

Yesterday I wrote that Nancy Pelosi needs to either put up or shut up about Newt Gingrich. Well, it appears she has elected to shut up...for now.

The other day Rush was saying that he thinks a lot of people are voting for Newt in the primaries to send a message to the Cocktail Party that we will NOT accept another RINO candidate for President. I hope they wake up soon! I'm not crazy about Newt. I think he's just a politician who will say anything to get elected, and his beliefs change with the wind. Too bad, because he's a very smart, albeit arrogant, man.
