Well..., for one thing, you should know (if you’ve been involved in politics) that politics is not about setting moral standards — but more about “getting things done” that the voting public will approve. That’s just politics for you and you can’t make it any different than what it is, if you have a bunch of people “voting” for representatives. That’s what you get when you pull in the “populace” and tell them that they’ve each got a vote... LOL..
***That entire system is built upon the foundation of the constitution. And then along comes the 20th Amendment
20th Amendment Sct3: “if the President elect shall have failed to qualify”

If you want moral standards, go to the Bible.
***I must and I do.
That’s where I find them. I also find that the Bible says that the people choose and deserve the fools for leaders that they want.
***I also find in the 20th amendment that there is a constitutional redress for this situation, that the president elect can fail to qualify.
That is probably the case here. It’s not a “moral standard” that you’re going to get out of this “voting” by the populace... You should understand that by now.
***The framers of our constitution understood it and so do I. They understood that numbskulls could vote in a president elect who fails to qualify. So I ask again, what is your FReeping problem?
SECONDLY — if you look — *very specifically* about *what is wrong* here, you’ll see that it’s *not* Obama that is “wrong”. That may sound strange to hear that — but think about it — what *went wrong*???
***The process. But that’s what the Supreme Court is there for.
The actual *wrong* here — is — the vetting process is deficient and failed us. Obama is not the “wrong” in this matter — but in the spirit of the “founding fathers” — they never depended upon “man” to provide the “right” in the situation — but rather — they depended upon the *process* to provide the right — because they knew that all men are sinful and therefore cannot be depended upon.
***Okie dokie, artichokie, and your point is?
THEREFORE, if we *correct the wrong* — we correct the process...
***Then I ask you, yet again, what is your FReeping problem with those of us who are correcting the process?
You said — “Then I ask you, yet again, what is your FReeping problem with those of us who are correcting the process?”
I haven’t seen anyone working to correct the process. I’ve only seen people trying to get rid of Obama, when they *can not say* that he’s disqualified....
Now..., on the other hand, if I saw that people were working with their own states and talking to the legislators about enacting a state law to the effect of vetting candidates, then I would say that they are working to correct the process. I’ve seen none of that here, on Free Republic...
