So, can somebody tell me why Rudy and Condi are out as far as viable conservatives go, but Ahnold is IN,

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.

I agree...although, you know the Founding Fathers put the native born thing in there specifically to keep Alexander Hamilton out (who was born in the West Indies)...

But let me ask you: How long do you think immigrants should be made to wait befor they can run for the presidency? 20? 30? 50? When you take the oath of citizenship, shouldn't it afford you ALL of the things being American can bring?

Well, you know what's funny to me???

What is funny is that we will reject a Black Woman With Two Ph.D.'s because she happens to be pro-choice. However, we are expected to roll over an die for a Senator from Pennsyvania who votes 70% of the time with the Dems, and who lied his ass off to both vanquish his primary opponent AND his general election opponent.(I say roll over and die, because President Bush came to town in PA and shut down the campaign of the REAL Republican in PA, Pa Toomey.) AND, upon securing his latest reelection, the incumbent announces in no uncertain terms that he is not on the same wavelength with the President vis-a-vis federal judges, and that one of the things most dear to his 'base' -- that of the pro-life agenda -- is for all purposes dead when he becomes the Judiciary Commiittee Chairman.

Now, I thought that Orrin Hatch was about as bad as we could do in an appeaser-Republican. but now, we have the Philadelphia Inquirer rep on the Committee.

What are we going to do about Arlen Spector? And how do we get him to respect the mandate that constitutes the results of Election 2004????
