Repealing the 17 amendment is key to restoring states rights if you can’t understand that than the republic means nothing to you. Count your self as part of the problem. Good day.

Hey, you could repeal several amendments in returning to the Constitutional roots, but it doesn’t mean we’ll be better off. I’ve laid out my arguments that repeal of the 17th would be a serious mistake, and exactly what types of people would get elected. You guys have yet to enunciate reasons beyond wishing and hoping that it will somehow magically restore “states rights.” You choose to ignore the arguments I and others have laid out that would be an actual concrete result of such a move. It’s very curious and astonishingly naive.

Again, name-calling in the absence of a substantive argument is not making your cause. Repeal of the 17th would be creating a serious problem by increasing corruption, cronyism and statism (and lessening the chances of electing Conservatives), so hence your comment is naked projection.
