I think he's quite good looking compared to the other one in this picture.

Re: Is a driver license necessary?
Wait, so does this mean they have to give up voting too?
In 1966, the Supreme Court held that the poll tax was unconstitutional. Nearly 40 years later, Georgia is still charging people to vote, this time with a new voter ID law that requires many people without driver's licenses - a group that is disproportionately poor, black and elderly - to pay $20 or more for a state ID card. Georgia went ahead with this even though there is not a single place in the entire city of Atlanta where the cards are sold. The law is a national disgrace.

All right, so it's old. Don't let the truth stand in the way of a good story. Er, comeback.

Republicans tend to be anti-regulation except when i comes to abortion and gays. Then they want regulations to stop/hinder both as much as possible. And they don't see any hypocrisy there.
