Agreed! I would also love to see third party seats everywhere. Especially since the prospects of a revolution are pretty dim.

You are correct Joe. The burden of guilt lays upon msm. Though I cannot conclude our government is taken hostage by the msm, just that they are partners in crime. The whole thing was manipulated, including the market or economic terrorism which was timed and dramatized perfectly.

Every now and then I don a tin foil hat and read a copy of the Priory of Zion. I am not antisemitic in the least. However, the tactics listed in this pamphlet are the same exact tactics used by our government. It could have been the liberal text book. One tactic listed is that two parties will create diversion, distraction and no room for a real third party. Disregard the antisemitic nature of this publication, but study the tactics. You will be amazed. I found a copy on line and it is small enough to copy onto a Word document.

“Everbody should go to their local Congressmans/Senators website and “sign up” so they have your address. Then when they send you a letter requesting donations, send it back with a letter attached “My donation is attached to Obama’s BC. You find that, you find my donation”.
Excellent plan!

NOW he is the President-elect and Biden is the Veep-elect. Heaven help us if the “natural born” challenge is heard and wins. How would President Biden grab you? How about President Pelosi if Joe chooses / is forced to choose her for Veep?

***

Might not go down that way if Obama was declared ineligible ...

Read the 20th Amendment:

” ... 3. If, at the time fixed for the beginning of the term of the President, the President elect shall have died, the Vice President elect shall become President. If a President shall not have been chosen before the time fixed for the beginning of his term, or if the President elect shall have failed to qualify, then the Vice President elect shall act as President until a President shall have qualified; and the Congress may by law provide for the case wherein neither a President elect nor a Vice President elect shall have qualified, declaring who shall then act as President, or the manner in which one who is to act shall be selected, and such person shall act accordingly until a President or Vice President shall have qualified ...”

If declared ineligible BEFORE inauguration, Biden would ACT as POTUS after January 20th UNTIL a new POTUS shall have qualified ...

Who that would be, who knows? Does SCOTUS order that the second-place finisher (McCain) is the winner? Or do they order a new election?

If declared ineligible AFTER inauguration, Biden would BE POTUS and would presumably pick his new VP.

However, if SCOTUS ruled that Obama’s “election” as POTUS was based upon a fraud, Biden’s “election” as VP (and, consequently, his elevation to POTUS) MIGHT be nullified since they were “elected” as a ticket.

If that was the case, who knows? Does POTUS declare the second-place finisher (McCain) the winner? Or do they order a new election?

SHUTUP!

I am so tired of your obnoxious behavior on the BC threads.

You have proven time and time again that you don’t care about the theft of our Great Nation.

Could you please, at the very least, not gloat about it?

I think he would only have a say had it been a tie vote. That's his only real power in the Senate

Not quite true. He is, when he so chooses, the President of the Senate, it's chair as it were. He can rule on points of order, recognize speakers, and so forth. He is resonsible to see that things are done according to the rules. I think there is plenty of room there for him to *at minimum* make a statement and invite objections from the floor.

Oh and the Constitution *directs* that he be the one to open and read those "tally sheets" from the several states.

Dick “Atlas” Cheney shrugged. Nobody cares anymore.

The folks on the LEFT side of the photo are the same fools who believe 401(k) plans are a path to prosperity. Useful idiots, all!

Hey, its, like, not my job, man! Let someone else save the Republic. I have dinner plans tonight and I really don't want to get tied down at the Senate today...

What happened to Congressman John Linder of Georgia who was suppose to stand up on the floor and object to Obama being certified today? Read the FR thread below where he says he will do it.

One wonders if the "Establishment" hasn't decided to let the collapse of the Republic happen on Obama's watch. Better this fool than someone from the inside.

If the 20th Amendment is no longer enforceable, then the 13th isn't either. So, lets go buy some slaves and cut our payrolls.

It took me a moment to fully capture the irony of your post. Not much difference between a good old fashioned, traditional slave and the "company store" mentality of hiring people for pennies to do the dirt work.

Scary thing is... it must be better than living in the corrupt Obamaland of Mexico which, I hear, is worse than Chicago!

and real Constitutional government needs to spring forth from the body politic at a local level that is concerned with local defense of the *peace* (not "law").

I agree. We need to strengthen as many state governments as we can and then head for the door. Gandhi style. What will the fascists do? Waco us again?

I agree. We need to strengthen as many state governments as we can and then head for the door. Gandhi style. What will the fascists do? Waco us again? Well, *yes*. Obama's AG is a black Janet Reno x 10. But it will only take one event in one location to stop the series. Before the second "Waco" can be fully consummated, the uprising will begin. One thing we've never had before: Instantaneous, distributed, "democratic" media via video/blogging and the Internet, will be the catalyst. As CNN begins the standard reporting template of child-molesting Ayran Brotherhood cult members holding themselves hostages in a compound, the Iraq vets with cellphone cameras *inside* the compound will be capturing the real story of people just wanting to be left alone and being tortured by their government for it.

I remember sitting in church that Sunday wondering how it would feel to be surrounded by Federal troops.

If the real America wakes up one day and sees Federal troops surrounding ANY church again... well, April 19th 1775 will look like child's play.
