The only dishonesty is you in your position. You are a partisan hack, so you do not care about maintaining logical consistency. If you maintained logical consistency, you would find you cannot support your current position...since you would realize it is idiotic to do so.
That's supposed to have something resembling content rather than denial?
This conversation exists within the topic of the thread, "voter fraud" & the larger context of election fraud in general. You fail to show how that has anything to do with flying in a commercial airliner.
That, and other non-related stuff you keep dragging out in an attempt to conflate, create diversion & false equivalency are just that.
When it doesn't work, you're just left with mudslinging.
The "Conservative" position *is* logically consistent, but only in a dishonest way. Conservatives have opposed all efforts to expand the franchise throughout our history, and have even managed some roll-backs. It's entirely consistent with the "I don't want everybody to vote" stance of their leadership. Their own spokespeople have publically admitted that they think disenfranchisement will deliver Pennsylvania for Romney. They admit that in person voter fraud is so exceedingly rare as to be statistically insignificant, yet keep beating that drum as the reason for picture ID for voting.
If picture ID were such a great idea, an important & beneficial idea, why doesn't it have universal support? Why didn't we do it 10, 20, 30, 40 years ago?
Only because Repubs weren't as desperate to win, so afraid of the voters that they'd resort to whatever sleazy tricks they could manage. Because the share of the potential electorate their pitch mesmerizes is shrinking, so the answer is to simply disqualify as much of that unfriendly electorate as possible, at least temporarily.
They'll deny it, of course, as you do, but actions speak louder than words.
