I still want to know what freaking moron first started pimping this repeal the 17th nonsense. Was his Majesty, Mark the Levin, the first? The first people that I heard pimping it were Alan Keyes and ZELL MILLER.

Even if it wasn’t a misguided and stupid idea (WHICH IT IS) it:

A)Has zero chance of ever passing. Z-E-R-O
B)Would be POISON for any candidate dumb enough to campaign on it

This is without a doubt, the dumbest fringe pet issue I’ve ever heard of. The ratio of bluster to relevancy is off the charts in favor of bluster.

Yep, back 20 years ago when I was much younger I could get excited about these fantasy ideas. I read a book that convinced me that congressional term limits would fix everything.

Well 20 years later congress hasn't term limited itself and never will.

Recall being a kid endlessly debating hypothetical.

Talk radio is fantasy Island. Anything discussed there would be possible if only it were possible.
