"It's the will of the majority that decides in this Republic."

No! No! No! A thousand times NO!

You are confusing a democracy with our Constitutional Republic. That is the root of the problem. The Democrats were able to subvert the Constitution through Unconstitutional laws and corrupt justices who sustained them. The beauty of the Constitution is that it took an amendment to take away our individual rights or to grant power to the federal government. It is very difficult to amend the Constitution. So difficult in fact, there is some controversy over the legalities of some the amendments passed afer the Bill of Rights. For example, there is no Constitutional authority for Congress to have enacted Social Security. And Roosevelt and the Democrats knew they could have not gotten the Constitution amended to allow it. So they did an end run around the Constitution. Virtually all of the socialists' agenda has been an end run around the Constitution. Franklin anticipated this problem. When asked what kind of government the framers had given the country, he tersely replied, "A republic, if you can keep it."

As for your other question about the who to replace Bush. I answered that in another reply somewhere else on the thread. I think there are several conservatives who have sought the nomination that would be superior to Bush. Forbes and Keyes are easy choices. They were unable to defeat Bush in the primaries in the last go around. Who knows, conditions might be more favorable for them in 2004. Ron Paul is the best of the current crop of Republican office holders. Gramm might have made a wonderful president. But my personal choice is Rush. Rush, if he will try, can beat Bush for the nomination. And Rush would blow the Democrats not out the water, but off the planet. I hope that I am wrong, but it is my opinion that the United States is doomed. And as hopeless as it may sound, I think Rush may be the only man who can save it. Excellence in Golf can provide him the financial means.

I understand your position, but I'm not confusing a democracy with our constitutional republic. I am quite aware of the difference. In the real world it takes a majority of the electorial votes to win a normal election for the presidency. I also takes a majority of votes from both houses of Congress to present a piece of legislation for the executive to sign or veto, it takes a supr majority to overide a Presidential veto. So that leads me to the next question I aked you about who will beat Bush in 2004 "if he doesn't move far to the right" ?

BTW, Rush Limbaugh has as much chance of being elected to the presidency as "Calypso Louie" Farrakhan. For Pete’s sake the man is an entertainer. I like Limbaugh's philosophy and agree with his opinions on many issues, but to be successful in moving the country in the direction a president wishes, takes a good bit of political skills and incredible management abilities, not some Monday morning quarterback that has spent his whole life critiquing the moves and decisions of others.

I appreciate your examples of what would make our conservative dreams come true, but I think you should consider sharing your thoughts with a professional that can help you return to Earth
