TOTALLY wrong question!

TOTALLY wrong problem!!

What will we do, once we win with Historic Landslide victories and John McCain is Majority Leader and John Bohner is Speaker and they DO NOT DO ANY DAMNED GOOD !!!

That is the question!

THAT is the problem we WILL have.

Discuss.

BINGO. Spot on. Accountability may be coming for the fraud and unConstitutional behavior.

"These are the days of our great lament. The land thirsts.
A great plague infests our country from the most corrupt
and most greedy Congress in human history
They say that strife has made us weak.
That we have become empty.
They say that we rot.
But, we are strong. We are a people of destiny."

Start your own thread with your points and discuss them there, this poster posited a different scenario for discussion.

Quit attempting to hijack the thread.

My thoughts exactly.

Both parties are headed for the same goal. The only difference is one is going 10 miles an hour, the other 100.

That’s my fear too—more than Dem chicanery. You can’t sew nads on these guys and we know how they’ve acted in the past. Bushie had a perfect opportunity in 2006 to get some things done and completely blew it. I’m just hoping that there’s enough new blood up there to give us a boost and make some real changes.

NO WAY John McCain. If repubs take control of the Senate, we need to immediately start voicing our opinion on Senate Majority Leader. And find a way to do it effectively and convincingly.

At this point I see a constitutional convention as a necessity.

Since the start of the 20th Century, progressives incorporated the propaganda into the public schools that a constitutional convention is “Unthinkable. It would be controlled by radicals.” That is not just a lie, but a damned lie.

A constitutional convention would be very conservative, and indifferent to social issues as compared to reestablishing a proper balance of power between the federal government, the State governments, and the people.

It would amount to two things: First, to reduce the scale and scope of the federal government and the national debt by a tremendous amount. Second, to perform maintenance on the constitution that has been needed over its 200+ years of life.

The States are already moving in this direction, forming issue oriented “10th Amendment” blocs, that all point in the same direction.

But once the State legislatures are aware of the major changes that need to be made, they will have to debate among themselves, and between States, which changes they want. Unless 38 States are in agreement *first*, even calling a constitutional convention would be frivolous.

This means that when the delegates arrived at the convention, they would already have a draft in hand, read it out loud and vote to approve it, then return it to their States for approval. Once 38 States had voted to approve it, the constitutional convention would have the responsibility to relieve any federal official, officer, judge or employee who refused to carry out the changes to the government, or had been dismissed. Likewise they could vote to imprison anyone attempting to subvert the constitutional convention, without trial or appeal.

Make no mistake that this would be a deadly serious event, because every villain on the planet would want to influence, disrupt, conduct surveillance on, or undermine it. And many of them already work for the federal government.

You mean as in 1994? Good question, that.

You have hit the nail on the head! I fully expect the dems to cheat this fall - but in the event that the GOP is the big winner - I foresee what you said above.

NOTHING WILL CHANGE - but the conservative movement will be set back once again - as it was with GWB. They say what we want to hear until they get elected, and then - it's politics as usual.

If the Republicans manage to make things a little better - Obama will take the credit & get reelected in 2012.

If the Republicans are not able to improve things - Obama will blame them for everything (and they won't fight back, as usual) - and Obama will get reelected in 2012.

Until the opposition is willing to take on a spine & stand up to them - and totally EXTERMINATE the crooks in Washington DC - until we elect people such as this, things will not change.

I have real doubts that the GOP is the vehicle that will take us there.
