The Constitution is the only “contract with American” that any political party needs to succeed. The ‘Pubbies should try adhering to the “original Contract with America” and all would be well.....

I would like to agree but evidence indicates that only a small minority of voters have any idea what the Constitution says and even less of what it means. I have long been amazed at the people I meet who claim to be conservative Republicans but advocate all kinds of government action in direct violation of the constitution. The first thing we need is a return to the original voter qualification restrictions, relaxing those requirements was the first grave error that led to all the other grave errors. Sadly, I see no possibility of that even being considered, let alone done.
If you have a chance to meet them and they claim to be "conservative" and start asking for your vote after supporting such nonsense, smile, look them straight in the eye and say "sorry, I don't vote for Marxists". You will then be treated to the biggest exercise in crawfishing you can imagine. These sort of people think no one is on to them. When you call them on it they usually go ballistic. I had an opportunity to do this once with Lincoln Davis, (D) TN. He's supposed to be one of the so-called "blue dogs". I wish I'd have had a picture of the look on his face when I told him "I don't support Marxism, and therefore, I don't vote for Marxists like you!" I said it loud enough that those nearby could hear, too. The look on his face was just like what you'd see when you catch a 6 year old doing something they know they weren't supposed to do. Classic.

I agree. I would love to see the original requirement to be a land owner in order to be able to vote. You should have to have a vested interest in the country, not a paid welfare broodmare who will sell their vote for a hit of crack.....
