Democrats' Latest Attack on the Constitution

First there was Gov. Gray Davis sputtering with outrage that Californians would dare to exercise their state constitutional rights and try to oust him for the horrible job he's done. Now Clintonista press secretary Joe Lockhart and other Dems are abusing the U.S. Constitution to attack President Bush.

The sore losermans are gathering petitions in a lame attempt to oust Bush. The U.S. Constitution, unlike the California Consitution, provides no way to recall a president through a ballot initiative.

But the Dems have long assaulted the Second Amendment, distorted the First Amendment to claim that government has to be atheistic and undermined other parts of the Constitution, so why stop there?

It's amusing that Democrats always falsely refer to the republic as a "democracy" but can't stand the democracy that California's Constitution allows. They've dominated La-La Land for years, so how come they never amended the state Constitution to get rid of the provision for a recall?

This California recall has really demonstrated the hypocracy of some folks. The same people who claim that the United States is a "democracy" are the ones who are deriding the recall effort. The recall effort is democracy in action. I find it most interesting how the media portrays the effort as a "circus" while overlooking the reasons for why the recall is even happening. The complaints that some have made concerning the number of candidates in the race is also amusing. I was under the impression that any legal Californian citizen had the right to run if they chose to. I guess that's what the elitist media is there for. To disabuse us rubes of such "silly" & "dangereous" (?!) notions.

Did you hear Glenn Beck today? He's upset that this recall is even going forward. In his opinion, this will open the door for other "recalls", even where they aren't allowed by law. He says it should never have been put on a ballot because now we have opened a can of worms.

What's to stop the Dems from beginning a recall petition of GWB? Forget the fact that it isn't a lawful thing to do, like it is in CA. Why would the Dems be bothered by a little thing like "law"? Or, they may begin recall petitions of various Rep Governors, saying it is the "will of the people" or that "the Republicans stole the election", blah, blah, blah....

Once upon a time, there was a political party called Democrat. Decades ago power-mad politicians saw how to take control of this party while manipulating the rank and file members of the party to believe they the members were in control. This manipulation transformed the party into a collection of manipulable lemmings. After many elections, the transformational power of this little understood power center became teratogenic, with the advent of clintonism. Now, this once great and representative party is a cancerous growth threatening to terminate the very organism in which it came to be, the American Republic. Question is, will the true sovereigns of this Republic take ther medicine that can cure it of this mutagenic mass?
