So, can somebody tell me why Rudy and Condi are out as far as viable conservatives go, but Ahnold is IN, despite the fact that he is a pro-choice, pro-embryonic stem cell (research, but not funding -- 'Why not??') Republican??? Or are we still not allowed to talk policy yet??? ;-))
As far as I'm concerned, he is out as well. I don't really trust him and he never seriously is a contender. I do not think we should change the constitution to allow naturalized citizens to be President. If a person can change allegiance once, they are more persuadable to change it again.
The only objection I have to Condi is that she is not against abortion. If she ponders the issue and realizes that pre-born babies are human, she will realize abortion equals murder and won't support that heinous practice. Then, she would be acceptable to me.
Count me as one Conservative who is not going to vote to change the consititution to allow Arnold to run.
While I admit to cheering wildly at the Republican Nat'l Convention when Arnie was speaking, and FNC showed me in all my glory screaming my lungs out,,, to the point that I received 3 phone calls shortly there after from 1)husband,,, telling me he saw me, 2) from #1 son asking me if I had my nitro tablets with me because he feared I was going to 'go over the edge' and 3) from #2 telling me to sit down and quit making a fool of myself because my GC were watching and they thought 'Grandma is sure acting funny'.
The cheers were for his message and how well I knew it would be received by other legal immigrants.
Our founding fathers put a lot of thought into the Constitution, and I think we owe it to them to hold an informal national discussion over a considerable amount of time before we even THINK seriously about a change.
