states rights

[Possom]

No, I am not a Ron Paul supporter, I will not write him in on any ticket. I don't like voting for the less of two evils but in the case of the upcoming election I will stand behind and support the Romney/Ryan ticket.

Do I think Romney will actually reduce the size of government and put us back on track to fiscal responsibility, no I don't. I don't agree with Romney on everything but I KNOW that if Obama gets another 4 years in office he will finish our country off.

[Mr Mannn]

Thank you for that.

Glad to hear it.  I think a cooncentrated effort from us Tea Party types can help steer Romney in the right direction.

Hi5. Romney is not my first choice either, but in the mission to remove a disaster, we have to vote for him. There can be no write-in this time. Every write-in is a vote for Captain Zero.

Plus, there is no way that anyone could do as bad as Captain Zero, unless they are a Muslim as well.

Thinking about this write-in situation. I wish now that I didn't write myself in in 2008. My vote could have been the one to get McCain elected.

How do you feel about Ron Paul Possom?

Does the RONPAULPOSSOM play dead after the first five state primaries, only to come back to life during the convention a la RONPAULZOMBIE?

I was willing to let the lack of a comma go by without comment.

But you went there.

That's our Dutch!

Good job.

Thats my job. Butchering the English language so you don't have.

This sounds like a job for owebumazombie.

I am not sure of the mathmatical formula here. I don't think if you have one zombie and then add another zombie they cancel each other out.

No one knows liberal zombies like obumazombie.

True, but if you ducttape two zombies together they don't morph into one zombie.

At least not until they start getting fluidy.

Always have at least one bottle of Ronulan ale set aside.

[Splashdown]

Repealing the 17th Amendment would be a good start, but I don't see that happening any time soon.

A GREAT first step putting lots of power back to the states. But no way would it happen.

Wouldn't our country as a whole benefit greatly from the return of states rights and reduction of such an oppressive federal government? How can a body of government located thousands of miles away from my home make better decisions for us then one that is right here close to my home? I don't see all that much difference in the republican and democrat parties on a national level now. Both parties wish to continue the globalization of government and strive for ever greater power over the people.

If we took away too much federal government, we wouldn't be a very united country now would we??
Our common denominators that unite us as a country ..is our language(American English), our currency, and our military. You take away two of the three and you have chaos!!!

Look at Mainland Europe. Each country have their own military, and their own language, but they share the same currency.

[obumazombie]

Borders, language, culture.

[seahorse513]

Borders, language, culture.

Are you talking state borders or country borders??  As far as culture goes, that varies more from region to region rather than state to state...
For example, the topography, demography, and geography between the the New England region is far different from the region of the southwest isn't ?

What makes us connected must be bigger than what would disconnect us. We are the United States, at least until owebuma started his powerfully effective dividing. We are not Mexico, although we may be inexorably creeping in that direction. We are not Canada, although we have a lot more in common with them. We speak english, we have Americana as our culture. Not aztlan, not muslim, not the dark continent, not any other culture that would dominate and divide. I didn't conceive of the phrase, Michael Savage did, but I think it's very true.

Ihe biggest connection that we have to each other and what represents  and unites us as a country is our beloved flag, OLD GLORY!!

First and foremost I am not a liberal troll or a liberal in general. I am new to this forum but from what I have read I agree with most of the views here. So, on to my post concerning states rights and questions there in.

Wouldn't our country as a whole benefit greatly from the return of states rights and reduction of such an oppressive federal government? How can a body of government located thousands of miles away from my home make better decisions for us then one that is right here close to my home? I don't see all that much difference in the republican and democrat parties on a national level now. Both parties wish to continue the globalization of government and strive for ever greater power over the people.

Do we really need a federal government that handles more then the protection of our people by outside forces? Can every other issue not be handled and decided by the state government?

Would we as a people not receive better representation from a local and state government deciding what is best for our state?

Another benefit of states deciding most laws would be the ability to move to another state. For instance, if you live in Mississippi and the state adopts a law outlawing same sex civil unions and you are gay, you can simply move to a liberal state such as Massachusetts that allows gays to marry. Problem solved.  

I edited my original post to remove any misconceptions of what I was proposing needs to happen to make our country a better place for all of us to live.

I agree with you, post-correction. We would be much better off, politically and financially, if the Federal government was limited to its Constitutional duties.

[Boudicca]

I don't know if there is an answer to that question. The only avenue I see for even getting close would be for a state to stop taking federal monies. I think state governments are starting to see the situation that we have gotten ourselves into. I.E. Arizona concerning immigration policies. There are no easy fixes for that issue. That I am sure of.

Sure there's an easy fix if the political whores in DC weren't so concerned about the Hispanic vote.  They would allow Arizonans the freedom to uphold their own federal statutes regarding immigration.
As an Arizonan, I'm getting good and damned tired of voting on issues the majority of my fellow Arizonans agree on and having some ****ing interest group/s sue in federal court to block the will of the people.

[obumazombie]

The border states, especially Arizona are the cultural as well as national border battleground now. The owebuma administration is doing everything within their power to disintegrate our borders, language, and culture in that area. Fast and Furious alone should be proof of that. Not to mention Eric Holder bringing suit against the state for enforcing current law.

somewhat of a side track....I feel bad for the states on the US/ Mexico border.
 Isn't he up the Mexican Presidents ass??
