Norm you are correct, but we have had two presidents lately that couldn’t pass even a low security background check.
I have believed most of my life that Harry Truman came to office completely ignorant of the Communist Cabal that Roosevelt had left him with. Evidence of that would be his decission to use the Atomic bomb, which in my mind was absolutely the right decision.
Sadly when he took us to war in Korea as a police action the influence of the Communists within the administration soon overcame him. He became a toady to the Marxist within. I hated what he did to McCarthur, in fact about every thing he did in Korea, the first Kings X war. We haven’t won one since.
I stood within 20 feet of Truman when he made his whistle stop tour campaign run. He was in an Oklahoma town of about 12,000 people, standing on the back of the train platform speaking with out any security that I could see. When he retired he went back home, and told secret service to stay away. He could often be seen taking a morning walk along the sidewalk in Springfield, carrying an umbrella, no security at all.
Salary for the President, $25,000.00 a year.
Times they have certainly changed.
Hi Hoot, Sorry for the late reply on this.
“Norm you are correct, but we have had two presidents lately that couldn’t pass even a low security background check.”
Exactly why we need them. This is gonna get wordy as is my wont, but hang in there:
Part of this goes to exactly why they should be required - to ensure another Clinton cant sell high grade Sat-Tech to China or Obama to fund Muzzie terror groups.
If the Repubs mandate ‘per the rules’ a bkg check in their own party and the Dems do not, that is a huge coup in PR for the Repubs. But most importantly, the PEOPLE will be far less likely to vote for a person that cannot.
Imagine the scenario where the BKG is in place - say 2016 and the Dems run an Obama like figure as the candidate. He refuses or fails the check. That’s pretty hard to spin when the other party ALL has checked candidates.
BUT!!!
If we were to get power in the House Senate (H/S), we can set ALL H/S rules, Party and Electorial as it relates to the H/S, that in order for ANY candidate to be backed by H/S members, they must pass the check. Again, no LAW required as the H/S has the total Constitutional authority to make it’s rules any way they see fit... and there are many cases of/with precedence to back up them doing so.
So Even if the Dems wer to run another Obama, the H/S CANNOT back him without the check per the rules. If they did, they could be LEGALLY thrown from office. What chance would that candidate have in a general?
None.
As I said/hinted at earlier, Palin CAN force the issue and bring it to the people. AKA “So you want to elect people with a clean record? Or Do you want the Dems to get more people in power like those that wrecked the economy and nearly the country in just 2 years?
THEN just spam the records of the Rangels and Geitners and the Pedo-loving ‘school safety Czar” and stick it in the Dem’s face every single time they cry “BLACKLIST!!”
Again, note that this does not require SP to claim or use powers not held by the president, nor any “LAW” to be passed. All of it is 100% legal and doable by H/S rules and common authority and ability.
In the end it comes down to guts and huevos. SP has both. The Repubs can go along and become the party they are supposed to be or the holdouts can be tossed with the Dem/Libs onto the ash heap of history.
And again, no “dictator” or “coup” needed. This is all by the book stuff and the Dem/Libs/Rinos cannot do a damn thing about it. Go along and fix the problem, or be publically shown as PART OF the problem. They will quickly fall in line.
Lastly, to the point that plenty of good people have screwed up, paid the price and are now good citizens. Absolutely true. I know many. But there are plenty who never have as well. It still comes down to my original premise.
“Do we want people that cannot pass a simple FBI background check sitting in the largest seats of power on the planet...especially when we can elect people who can?
