You guys side with progressives like Taft and Wilson. I'll continue to side with Jefferson, Washington, Adams, and the other founders. There is a reason we're more like a mob-rule democracy now than an actual Republic, and it would appear your thought process is why it is that way.

Btw, we're one step away from being a true, mob-rule Democracy doomed to fail. That step being getting rid of the electoral college and the same mindset that got the ball rolling on the 17th. When that happens, we have 5 years before we're completely Socialist. The reason we were set up as a federalist Republic is because the founders understood the idiocy and greed of the masses. No, not the DUmmies definition of greed. If people can vote to have your shit, they'll do it and we, as a culture, have become weaker as shown by how many people will vote for anyone that's promising them something.

Because of Corzine NJ is 1 of those States trying to change from the electoral college to votes determining the winner of the Presidential election, I think they need 3/4 of the States to sign on to make that happen, just curious though, could that stand up to a Constitutional challenge?

That wasn't the intent of the Founders though, which is why I think a Constitutional Challenge would be warranted.

If they make it an amendment, you can't challenge it on constitutional grounds because, at that point, it's part of the constitution. Even that POS 17th is constitutional. Don't ever underestimate the stupidity of the masses. Human nature is always the monkey wrench thrown into the spokes of a good and effective government.

I guess the only thing we have going for us is the south won't sign on to it.

BTW, I'm not the most conservative of people here, some think I'm a Libertarian, which isn't true. I'm an independent conservative with libertarian (small L) leanings on social matters. I try to default to freedom as much as I can, to quote Boortz. On this issue, no one is budging me. I've studied the ramifications along with the history that accompanies it. In a classical sense, I'm a classical liberal. That definition explains many people here.

This isn't DU or FR. There is a broad array of opinions here. We don't walk lockstep. Probably the one main thing that binds us is fiscal conservatism and the fact that we don't give a shit about political correctness. I hope that never changes. Unlike Jim at FR, I won't ever tell you what this site is, supports, and what we all collectively believe in. "I" do not make this site. Everyone here makes this site.

By definition, a Constitutional Amendment is Constitutional. However, if they put a expiration date on ratification, if they don't get the right number of states to ratify, poof, it's like it never happened

Just listening to Rush and he played a clip of Romney on Kudlow and Romney talking about adopting some lib ideas about tax breaks to the wealthy, and Rush was at a dinner and they were talking about Romney and his plans about eliminating mortgage deductibility on 2nd homes, special outreach to hispanics and women, capital gains tax on those making over $200,000. This isn't good. :censored:

Yeah, but getting them through a Tea Party-inspired House of Representatives is going to be tough, to put it mildly.

How do you figure?  :confused:

Teh ReichsMessiah has been able to get TWO raises in the debt ceiling through a theoretically TEA-party inspired House.  If they'll bend over and grab the ankles for the Immaculated one who is a Dhimmi'Rat, how much more readily would they bend over and grab the ankles for the Mitt Wit, he having the magic (R) beside his name, and they being unwilling to be portrayed as "obstructionist".

We need a tough and brass conservative in the presidency also. Not someone who is going to be soft and *****. Like McCain was. He was a wimp, if he would have went after Obama a little more, he would have had a better chance of winning. I am hoping that Romney goes after Obama with both barrels. He needs to if he wants to have a chance of getting elected.

Romney needs a VP pick like McCain had in Sarah Palin, but Romney needs to turn that person loose, and not keep a tight rein on them like the RNC did with Sarah.

I'm so furious at Romney backing down and supporting "bipartisanship" screw that, I want someone tough. Obviously I have no other choice but to vote for Romney, but yeah, I totally get some of the posts I read at FR and their Romney bashing. Listening to Levin tonight and his talking about Boehner and McConnell strong-arming Tea Party people who won in 2010 and some of the tactics they've been using, they need to both be voted down from their positions.

I love Rubio of course, but can he be an attack dog? Christie could, but I think there's only 1 VP debate anyway, is that enough to gather traction?
