1. I am Canadian 2. I never did understand what Republicans think illegal aliens would get out of voting. It's out there in the same la-la land as McCain's assertion that they set forest fires to signal each other. Um. Why would they signal each other, why would they not buy a disposable cell phone, and why in the name of the little green aliens in Area 51 would anyone trying to avoid law enforcement commit arson on a historic scale?
It's like stroke damage is a prerequisite for Republicans or something..... 3. It's called a provisional ballot. I think they check ;) 4. I don't drink. At least not often enough to worry about keeping beer in the fridge. I might accept if you offered me one, but buying booze is not a problem in my world.
