That is the whole point of article 5 convention of the states, they are not the same F’ers.
They are some other F’ers.

WOW! You seem so sure of this Article V Convention and that it will work smoothly.
Who would have thought that a U.S. President would use tax collectors to punish political opponents?
Who would have thought that a U.S. President would collaborate with the politicians of Mexico and Central America to flood our southern border with young children?
Who would have thought that a U.S.President would seduce people, ordinary people, into becoming his ‘Gestapo’ just by arming them with military class weapons?
Who would have thought that a U.S. President would use unmanned missiles to kill Americans and others in foreign nations?
So go ahead, tell me I don’t know basic human nature again; at least I won’t be present to see you get butchered.
I am not attacking anyone. I’m pointing out that this Article V Convention idea is fraught with potential, ahem, problems.
From the amendment convention we can expect structural changes, that which cannot be ignored.
Decent point.
And, on the positive side, at least you don't like pedophiles and want them to babysit children, like Doug wrote, upthread
The executive has no such machinery to manipulate in the amendment process.

Every single one of my examples demonstrates that Obama is evil and uses others to hurt America.
The left has wanted this for a long time, in the end we will be ruled by tyrants and our beloved constitution will be torn to shreds.
They will remove the 2nd amendment, free speech will be gone.

“You won’t need the 2nd amendment until they try to take it away from you.” Jefferson
“A people unwilling to use extreme violent force to obtain or preserve their liberty deserve the tyrants that rule them” me
And the Democrat Party, aren’t they following his orders?
I think you see where I’m going with this: it isn’t just Obama’s executive role as President.
(By the way, did you finally get that auto transmission out of your bathtub?)
I remain amazed at the resistance to reclaim our republic.
At this moment, the President of the United States, the Tyrant Obama is leading an invasion of our southern border. He coordinated with at least Mexico and Guatemala to overwhelm our defenses. His intent is to destroy the value of American citizenship and reduce us way below that of Argentina and Greece, to that of slavery.
Congress will do nothing that opposes the individual interests of its members. It is up to us to take the peaceful measures the Framers bequeathed
Meanwhile, too many at this forum can't see beyond the (R) following a name on a ballot. I refer them to Einstein's definition of insanity.
The ObamaFascists will have their standing army before this, the DemocrratFascists have already indicated they will R U L E us with an iron fist.
We had our last free election when Bush was elected for his second term, but just barely, they almost stole that one.

Hands off my constitution!
Amend if you can, but there is not a politician alive that has the depth of character and wisdom necessary to be trusted with our founding documents.
It seems some people have them welded on to their heads.
You do know that you’re just embarrassing yourself here, right?
2/3 of states are needed to call the conventions. Just make sure the 17 most liberal states in the union are not included in the ones calling for the convention. Don't allow delegates from those same states in the convention. Then have any amendments ratified by state conventions, rather than the legislatures, so that there will be some hope in Hell of getting ratification in 38 states.
Wait a minute, I think you actually need 34 states to call, so exclude the 16 most liberal ones . . .
