Rebellion, yes. A tea party voter rebellion. And I don’t think you quite appreciate the meaning and intent of the movement. Read the words of the Declaration. Understand that the Declaration precedes the states and the states precede the US and the constitution. The founders clearly spelled out our recourse to a despotic runaway central government. We do not choose to abolish the government, but we do wish to alter it. Alter it to the extent of fully restoring the constitutional restrictions on government, the constitutional separation of powers, and the constitutional balance of powers between the central government and the states and we the people per the original intent of the founders.
And if Ted Cruz runs and is given the nod by the grassroots to head the tea party voter rebellion, I’m in 100%!! And I will not appreciate people working on the same side as Tokyo Rove & GOP-e, Inc. to torpedo his chances—whether intended or NOT!
I happen to be a Tea Party member. I attended the first two rallies in DC, as well as a ton of smaller ones. I am going down next week for the defund obamacare rally. The Tea Party really changed me forever I think.
If we want these elected lawmakers/Governors/citizens with potential legal (Constitutional) challenges to be able to hold on to the office we elect them to without risk of law suits and every sort of challenge imaginable, why not amend the requirement? I personally am against amending it mostly because the thing is important and secondly because the dems wanted it amended sooooo badly. When they start their “it’s for the children” riff, I get chills.
See, what if Cruz runs against Hillary but it’s a little close. Then all of the Hillary people go to work on Article ll, clause 5 - and maybe Cruz gets the mitten and Hillary gets sworn in by disqualifying him this way.
Their side is incredibly nasty and will stop at nothing. It’s something that we have to consider no matter our personal feeling on Cruz.
Look at Palin for example. Look what they threw at that poor family, and how they still hound her. She had to leave office so that AK could operate without the distractions and constant outrageous attacks.
