Section 1. No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice

tracer-I think that was meant to be taken as humor..or as on the same line of thinking/intellect as Asner.

Way to go!

[tracer]

All I can say is "D-OH!!" and apologize for my lack of humor -- and comprehension..... 8~)

"He could have ended the Embargo at any time during the last forty years by simply giving the Americans back their property. But it has been more profitable all these years to play the victim. And that's the real TRUTH!!!"

Ain't it the truth. Another thing that is overlooked... Cuba has free trade with all countries of the world except the US. They shouldn't be affected by our embargo at all. Castro is a living lie...

[ntnychik]

Well he has a point. If we had had a free election, we would have had the military vote instead of the convict vote, dead vote, 115% of the reservation vote, after polls close vote, after states erroneously called for Gore vote, etc., etc. What a maroon.

[harpseal]

My reaction to Ed Asner is why can't we just get it on here and now. He wants a war in this nation and his rhetoric states that so lets fight it out. What does he obect to about the 2000 election the fact that Bush won fairly and squarely. It was a 7-2 decision of the Supreme Court that overruled the Florida Supreme Court and a 5-4 decision that refused to let the Supreme Court of Florida engage in any more shenanigans. It was only by not counting military ballots and trying to count fraudulent votes for Gore that gave the Demcrat Party a chance to win.

[MEGoody]

Asner and his ilk must absolutely HATE John F. Kennedy for his behavior toward Cuba.

They don't?

Because JFK was a Democrat?

Hmmmmm. . . smells like hypocrisy

[Peach]

Asner forgets the US Supreme Court told Florida it had to count ALL the votes, not just the Democratic districts Gore wanted re-counted. Court also told Florida if they recounted all the votes, they had to use the same standard in each district with regard to dimpled and hanging chads.

The Florida Supreme Court decided not to recount all the votes, but it was their decision.

Additionally, since the election five major news organizations have recounted ALL the votes in Florida and President Bush still won.

[LuisBasco]

unfortunately Assner is suffering from acute senility and should be briefly hospitalized to undergo the leftists favorite demise for old folks: euthanasia.

And the Left in this country insists on a super duper special due process requirement before murderers can be executed but praises Fidel Castro's fast track execution procedure for anti-government opponents. I guess I am missing something here and perhaps someone on FR can clue me in on what that is.

That's easy. People that the people's democracy of Cuba condemns to death are rotten scoundrels. People that the fascist government of the United States condemns to death are heroic freedom-fighters.

I think is starts with an "H" and ends with a "Y" but I could be wrong ;-)

[EggsAckley]

I've been thinking he has Alzheimer's, and this adds more ammunition to that possibility.

[anniegetyourgun]

Ed was probably thinking about the last union/guild election.

[Petronski]

Asner asserted that he doesn't "regard the Bush Administration as being representative of my country."

I cannot post the first description of Asner that came to my mind, but it rhymes with 'quick duck' and the first word is 'sick.'

[Sonny M]

Ed Asner is one of left wing lunatics who think the 2002 elections were rigged by the voting machines.

[Sonny M]

"wait, how is the government you purpose any different then that of the Nazis?"

Remember, don't say Nazi's, use the full name "national socialist workers party", watch them just flip, its funny as hell.

[Sonny M]

Actually, after he came in, we gave humanitarian aid (money), then he turned and nationalized everything.

[Sonny M]

Dirty little secret, and a lot of dems admit under there breath with a disclaimer. They liked some of his politics, but in general disagreed with most of it, but they believe that if he had lived, he would have taken a ted kennedy like turn, and he was forced to do some of the things he did because of "the evil republicans",.

[stop_fascism]

Good question. I think it is because we are amazed at the lack of gratitude to the country that has enriched these non-talents. Reminds me of when Billy Joel divorced Kristy Brinkley because she was ugly.
