At the time of his approach to Red China, Richard Nixon (a REPUBLICAN for those of you from Rio Linda) was approached by an internationalist businessman who was literally salivating over the prospect of access to the BILLIONS of potential Chinese slave laborers and “customers” (although this rocket scientist had apparently not yet concluded that the Chinese people would be hard pressed to buy his stuff without MONEY!!!!).

This businessman was concerned that Nixon had been SAYING that he was cooling to the idea of an opening to Red China to quell the uprising within the then very much more America-First rank and file Republican Party.

As reported years later, Nixon told the businessman
“DON’T LISTEN TO WHAT WE SAY: WATCH WHAT WE DO!"

AS YOU READ THIS, IT APPEARS THAT BUSH, DASCHLE AND OTHERS ARE WELL DOWN THE ROAD TO USING THIS PAGE FROM THE NIXON PLAYBOOK!

IT APPEARS THAT DUBYA -- LIKE NIXON (and numerous others) BEFORE HIM --IS NOW “DOING” US (IN MORE WAYS THAN ONE).

Look, America – the IDEA not the PLACE – can only continue to exist if we heed the advice of the founding fathers (paraphrased here in the current vernacular for residents of Rio Linda), to wit:
“The Founding Fathers have determined that failure to WATCH politicians – ALL POLITICIANS (even those you may worship!) – is dangerous to the security of this nation and to the freedoms we paid such a heavy price to TRY to leave you and your children.”

“Government is not reason. Government is not eloquence. It is FORCE. And, like fire, it is a DANGEROUS SERVANT AND A FEARSOME MASTER.”
That from that notorious tinfoil hat wearing, radical wing-nut, George Washington.

One minor point. That last quote by GW cannot be attributed to him. It has never been found.

"Government is not reason. Government is not eloquence. It is FORCE. And, like fire, it is a DANGEROUS SERVANT AND A FEARSOME MASTER."

Every American child from the age of 5 should be required to recite this truth before bedtime every night, and its recitation should accompany every public Pledge of Allegiance.

Never happen. Somebody tried to make them state the article and section of the Constitution that allowed a new law a couple years back, it got almost no support. McCain said something like "we couldn't do 95% of what we do under this".

The problem in a nutshell, 95% of what they do is unconstitutional.

The bill makes it illegal for a third party to run a "vote for/against Candidate X" ad within 60 days of an election.
What part of that do you find Constitutionally debatable???

matters of constitutionality are decided by 9 life-time political appointees

I believe that would be defined as an "oligarchy".

As the founding dads intended:
It is the responsibility of all branches to determine the Constitutionality of their actions. The other branches are there to "check" on the other's determination of Constitutionality.
