I can only wonder, what else was attached to the Federal Election Integrity Act of 2006 that would get the Dems to go the way of No during the vote. Verification that someone can vote while registering to vote is a bad thing? Hell, themz politics.

The borders of the USA were a hot topic on the floor. I can only hope there were enough hidden items in each bill for everyone. Uh, did I say hidden? I meant helpful to the people! Yea the people. That’s what all this is for! Weeeeeee!
