>Fred has no problem with amendments to tell states they must limit the terms of their representatives.<

>>Um...the Constitution explicitly gives Congress the power to define the conditions of election and qualifications for their own members.<<

Why bring the Constitution into it? It is Fred’s duplicitous policy which were pointed out. Not the Constitution.

Did you post this under poetry?

[WalterSkinner]

..uh-oh...

[pissant]

Yes, on accident. I thought I hit politics, but it showed up poetry right away.

[pissant]

No worries. Fred heads will rationalize anything he says. Like Hugh Hewitt supporting Romney. Open borders Hugh was nothing if not consistent in his open borders flim flam, until his man Mitt came out in support of the fence. LOL

This is a race. If you think FDT supporters don’t try to throw ice cubes on DH tracks read some of their posts. It is part of the process. Especially with all the subterfuge going on in the country today, and with what is ultimately at stake here, it is important to be starkly aware of whom we vote.

This is a race.

A race that Duncan really isn't in, nor will he be. I don't see what the point is in throwing mud at the only front runner who has any claim at being conservative. It is not helping Hunter out in any way shape or form.

[WalterSkinner]

..hey, BTW, is DH in that Patraeus hearing?

[pissant]

I believe so. But I don’t have TV at work.

An excellent post on the subject:

..I’m watching the stream on C-Span, but I can’t capture it—RASTER! can you capture this, buddy?

Why bring the Constitution into it?

Since pissant was complaining about Thompson's supposed lack of federalism on the issue, I thought that looking to the Constitution, which actually does spell out those powers the government ought to have, would make sense.

In general, I consider following the Constitution to be a federalist position. Don't you?

Why bring the Constitution into it?

You can't be serious.

[Calpernia]

bttt

[kevkrom]

You can't be serious.

That was my first thought, followed by the realization that the comment was serious. And this from a supposed "true conservative".

[RasterMaster]

Can’t do streaming from work....

:-(

Could try to get it on the replay or record from TV when it’s aired.

[elizabetty]

Your man Hunter just spanked Tom Lantos in the House.

It is too bad he is leaving the Congress.

[Atlas Sneezed]

Unfortunately, the Establishment has thrown FDT into the fray

Utter nonsense.

*I* (and conservatives like me) drafted Fred.

[Paperdoll]

As I said before, but will try to simplify for your edification, the post I responded to concerned the duplicity of Fred Thompson’s positions in two different areas. It was not questioning the Constitution, in which I believe implicitly.

[kevkrom]

Nonsense. Read #1, which is what I was originally replying to. It specifically casts Thompson’s federalism as a position of convenience. I was showing, by reference to the Constitution, that both positions are consistent with federalism.
