Just because I'm new here does not mean I'm new to the world.

Like the old saying goes, Just becauseI was born at night doesn't mean I was born last night.

My point is that my being new here does not diminish the BS quotient of your post. Not one bit.

To accomplish what your post thinks is happening would require a formal treaty between the US & China and then the full Senate would have to approve it, which will never happen unless 2/3 of our Senators suddenly decide that they'd like to end their political careers.

Well, you do look a little silly if you think Palin is more qualified than Rush.

First of all, I'm truly delighted to see you as a young person here at FR. I have two very sharp teen-age daughters who hang out here and are just as committed to turning this mess around whom you may wish to know: NattieShea and PowerBaby.

There are a lot of people here who are amazingly knowledgeable, albeit they don't suffer challenges lightly. It can get a little rough if you step on toes without properly armored feet, so it is in your interest to enjoy this great opportunity to learn with respect and humility.

OK, you just got that I'm about to tell you things don't work the way you think. That's true. Here's your first little mind bomb...

Per Article 2, Section II, Clause 2 of the Constitution for the United States, it doesn't take 2/3 of the Senate to ratify a treaty; it takes 2/3 of "Senators present." It can happen in the dark of night with no quorum, and has. If you wish to read more about this history, please consider this article and get back to me.
