Kinda hard to say he is un-American when he suffered bodily harm to slow the advance of Communism in Southeast Asia.

Only to support its advance in the US.

[bonesmccoy]

NO.
They RAN the dead candidate and the dead candidate won the election!

That is what necessitated the special election for Ed Case.

One small point here ... Tom DeLay, Republican House Majority Leader has pushed this for years. I have heard him say it 5 or 6 times myself. It is because he is against term limits for congressmen and is making some kind of stupid point.

[MWS]

Seems to me that they have hopes of running the liar-in-chief against President Bush...

[A. Pole]

H. J. RES. 11 Proposing an amendment to the Constitution of the United States to repeal the twenty-second article of amendment, thereby removing the limitation on the number of terms an individual may serve as President.

Bill Clinton vs GWB in 2004?

[AlGone2001]

Has he openly advocated for the violent overthrow of the US government?

No, but in political speak, he said the US needed a "regime change", like the one recently inflcted on Saddam Hussein. He is attempting to create the impression that President Bush is a totalitarian, which I totally detest.

If he will openly provide opposition to what need to be done to provide a representative republic in Iraq, what would he do here?

One thing about democrats: they never have the guts to say what they really mean. They don't even have the guts to use the term liberal to define themselves. That's enough for me to have major issues with him. Kerry may have been a hero in VietNam, but like all other democrats on the homefront, he is a coward.

[philman_36]

Oh, I see now.

[gortklattu]

This bill has been introduced before. It was a hot item when Clinton served as, uh, well, Chief eXXXecutive.

It's a piece of legislation that will go nowhere.

When bills are introduced, they go to committee. After they are out of committee we'll take action.

[wingnuts'nbolts]

The measure was passed after FDR's death to keep another president from keeping office for a lifetime. It was intended as a dynasty stopper, two terms is quite enough for one President. For any president to run again in the future after he has served two terms is a bad thing, indeed.

[bonesmccoy]

yes i agree.

[wingnuts'nbolts]

Was it not Kerry in a grand passion who threw his purple heart and whatever other medals he was awarded over the fence onto the WH lawn in total contempt and antiwar frenzi only to find that now he is touting those same medals and claims he threw away someone else's. Stand up guy!

I reccommend looking up Backhoe's links, looks of facts.

[Paleo Conservative]

The GOP should be more upset because the measure was passed to stop FDR, but only affected GOP presidents since.

Clinton was the first DemocRAT president affected by it.

[Paleo Conservative]

NO. They RAN the dead candidate and the dead candidate won the election!

That is what necessitated the special election for Ed Case.

Even worse they ran two (expensive) special elections. One to fill her seat for the remainder of the 107th Congress and another to fill her seat in the 108th Congress. That was a really stupid waste of taxpayer money considering hardly any business was conducted after the first special election.

[Paleo Conservative]

The left wing fascists are the ones who want this change because they want to overwhelm and rule forever.

I really doubt it would pass with a 2/3rds majority in both the House and Senate and then get 3/4ths of the states to ratify. It wouldn't even be close.

[Paleo Conservative]

'Unbelievable. The bent one is now trying to change our Constitution to suit his own needs.'

Why not? It's a free country, or at least it's supposed to be. Consider the fact that the term limit was not originally a part of the Constitution, and that the 22nd Amendment was passed due to great effort by the Republicans because of FDR's tenure in the office.

Not that I want to see Clinton as President again. and I favor retaining the 2-term limitation. But it's kind of hypocritical to condemn partisan politicing when it's object is to undo the result of partisan politicing that was itself undertaken to change the Constitution to meet a given party's needs in the first place.

Interesting how the 22nd amendment specifically did not apply to the president currently holding office when it was adopted (Truman). I bet Clinton would oppose any restricition applying repeal of the 22nd amendment only to future presidents who had not been elected prior to its repeal.

[RonF]

Whatever. What Clinton does or does not do interests me little.

[skinkinthegrass]

Not me..Its' the Clintons, maybe the NYpol is trying to warn Shrillarys' DNC "Don't Go There"..One can hope, can't we?
