They're famous for it but this one is beyond anything I'v seen yet.
Start out with a typical boring DUmmie reference to a WaPo atricle.
DUmmie link. (http://www.democraticunderground.com/10021123912#post23)
Three years ago, Mitt Romney proposed a constitutional amendment that would say “the president has to spend three years working in business before he becomes president of the United States. Then he or she would understand that the policies they are putting into place have to encourage small business to grow.â€
As Andrew Kaczsynski notes, that provision would disqualify Paul Ryan, who has spent his life working for the government, first as a congressional staffer and then as a congressman.
To be clear about the point here, I think this reflects how dumb Romney’s proposed constitutional amendment is, not Ryan’s fitness for the presidency. It also reflects Romney’s tendency to take positions strategically without carefully considering their long-term impact. When he made that comment, was it really so difficult for him to imagine naming a vice president without business experience? That would, for instance, disqualify career military men, like Gen. David Petraeus.

23. As Commander in Chief, shouldn't the president be required to have active duty military experience?

Does this mean that we can retroactively revoke all the presidents who never served? Let's start with Nixon, moving on through Reagan and both Bushes...
Uhhhhh.
Nixon Lt. Commander Navy
Reagan Air Force
Bush I Aviator Navy
Bush II TANG
Slick Willie - Getting high in England
Obama - Hanging curtains in Chicago.

DUmmies don't think things thru...evar.
Some DUmmies say you gotta have time in uniform.
Some DUmmies say you have to have time in the private sector.
Don't these same DUmmies understand that the light worker would be unsuitable for the office by their own standards.

What an idiot. Bush 1 never served? Bush was in the navy at an age when this idiot was doing this: :stoner:

Um....Ryan's relatives own a construction company, IIRC. And the young Mr. Ryan worked for that company as a marketing consultant for a year, as well as working summers as a salesman for Oscar Mayer while in college, a Fitness trainer, and a waiter, and even workng the grill at McDonald's in high school. So, I think his this would add up to being more han 3 years in business. (courtesy if the left's favorite source...wikipedia).

30. That's right. I knew that about Poppy. He ditched a plane.
I didn't know that Tricky Dick actually served. My bad. Thanks for understanding my point. Next time I'll fact check first.
What a damned liar! "I knew that about Poppy"! Then why in the hell did you make the claim that he didn't serve?! :banghead:

Kimberly Guilfoyle on The Five just called Democrats "Shape Shifters" with their "bending of the truth". Perfect description.

Kimberly Guilfoyle is a smart person. Being drop-dead beautiful just adds to her allure--a lot. O-) :whistling: :naughty:

Then what was your point, idiot?
Besides, when have facts ever mattered to you mongoloids? :whistling:

That's one of the best descriptions I've ever heard. I would have liked to have seen the look on Beckels' face though.... :hyper:
