Fred has no problem with amendments to tell states they must limit the terms of their representatives but on important issues like this and abortion, he hides behind the skirt of federalism.

PING

Yet another reason I will have to hold my nose and vote for FRed.

Just think what would happen if Roody Doody gets the nomination.

This is a state's rights issue. I am steadfastly dead-set against both gay marriage and abortion but it should be left up to the states to decide.

[pissant]

I’ll take Fred over Rudy if that is my only choice, in a heartbeat. But as long as Hunter is in, he’s the guy. No nuanced answers, no flip flops, no explaining away a liberal past.

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

[pissant]

Uh, the constitution specifically tells congress what it must do to amend it. If they had the power to define conditions, then they would NOT need a constitutional amendment. That’s weak.

I gave $500 to Duncan and FRed each.

If Duncan doesn’t get in the double digits on Real Clear Politics I’ll have to go with FRed.

[pissant]

Excellent.

Hey pissant. Off subject a bit, but have you watched the three different Duncan Hunter TV interviews this morniing prior to the hearings with General Petreaus? Fine, distinct and positive statements by Rep. Hunter in all three. He has a firm grip on reality.

IMO any Republican OR Democrat who claims to be a Conservative will vote for Duncan Hunter. The RINOs and Commies will not.

Unfortunately, the Establishment has thrown FDT into the fray as today’s Ross Perot. Now that he is running, he cannot hide behind anything, try as he may.

Stirring the pot again.

We all know where you stand, why not give it a break?

Article I, sections 4 and 5. They should be able to do it legislatively, though I can where some might not interpret the language that way.

[Always Right]

I’ll take Fred over Rudy if that is my only choice, in a heartbeat. But as long as Hunter is in, he’s the guy.

As long as Duncan supporters tactics is to try to tear down other candidates, Duncan won't get any serious consideration.

>Yet another reason I will have to hold my nose and vote for FRed.<

And what reason is that?

[pissant]

....he states as Fredheads heap scorn on his opponents.....

[pissant]

I saw what Rastermaster posted from the networks. Excellent exposure. And I don’t think Fred is a Ross Perot. He’s in the GOP mix, and plans on winning the nomination. I have plans to derail that and get a better man nominated. :o)
