“Unfortunately, the Senate has not lived up to its’ responsibilities....”
hmmm...mash here...

“Our forefathers anticipated “socialism”.
That’s a provocative thought. Collectivism existed in various forms throughout human history. I believe the Founders clearly understood totalitarianism, a product of socialism, and despised the practice and wrote of the stench of dictatorship in our Declaration of Independence. They just didn’t have the word “socialism” available for use or they might have penned something like “Socialism Sucks!” but in a much more eloquent way.
As I said, your statement is provocative but I don’t want to think too hard this early in the morning.
:-) (I think the coffee is ready!)
I should think that if the proposed scenario that is chugging about slightly under the radar about Hillary to replace an “ailing biden” soon, that she would become a female “also ran”.
Seems to me that Palin has stormed the scene sufficiently to put “female no matter who” in such a position.
Hillary would take a number of votes from McCain/Palin, but insufficiently to warrant her joining up with loser “O”. People celebrate a winner, not a loser, and “O” is showing us what a loser he is recently.
It seems to me that it would be charitable of Clinton to join with the loser “O” at this time in the run. Not going to happen IMO, for the Clinton’s charity starts at home.
They set up the constitution to not allow it.
The constitution had to be changed to allow the income tax, the original constitution did not allow the income tax.

You are spot on. Obama is stuck with Slow Joe.

Obama has to BIG of an ego... There is now way he will take Hillary as VP.. He has no respect for women, and will never admit a woman helped him into the White House...

What was this danger against which the Senate must guard!
Madison explained "An increase in population will of necessity increase the proportion of those who will labour under all the hardships of life, and secretly sigh for a more equal distribution of its blessings. These may in time outnumber those who are placed above the feeling of indigence. According to the equal laws of suffrage, the power will slide into the hands of the former."
As soon then, as the poor could outvote the rich, they would make plans for a more equal distribution of wealth.
Well, maybe his chances of getting elected, not his chances of surviving plane crashes/walks in the park.
Unless you count the used underwear that Billy Jeff "gave**" to charity.
It truly was the gift that kept on giving.
(**Gave = sold for tax write off.)
I think history will show that Obama’s failure to pick Hillary as VP was a strategic blunder on par with Hitler not neutralizing Britain and opening up the eastern front.
