Looks like Hillary can't win her required 195 delegates out of the remaining 200. Obama bin laden only needs 20 of the remaining 200.

True that. Check my tagline. There may be an alternative.

Mirage...off track, just something I am reading... "For those not concerned with imposing term limits on Senate, House, and Supreme Court members, consider the following: * Lifelong politicians are now allowed to represent lobbyists based in DC more than voters back home because of no limits to their power to stay in DC. * Term limits for legislators would allow a greater variety in the House and Senate, rather than a lifelong office just for the elite. What history proves is that Our Founding Fathers had this in mind: an average American citizen serving for a few short years, then returning home to enjoy their Guaranteed American Freedoms. * Since 1970, average Supreme Court Justice tenure has risen from approximately 15 years to over 25 years. * Until 2006, no new Justice had joined the Supreme Court in over ten years."
Try the same searches without Obama's first name: http://www.google.com/trends?q=ron+paul,+obama Very few people are typing in "barrak obama" because they don't need to do that.
You're dead on with the citizen legislator. The Founders envisioned a citizen going off to Washington, serving a term or two, then returning to the farm. Urbanization and the rise of the Professional Politician (see Jerry Brown in California for details) did a lot of damage to their vision. The Constitution was to be both guide and harness for the citizen legislator. We have strayed far.

John Adams... "" Although John Adams was a devout Federalist, he maintained that rotation, as well as frequent elections, would be necessary in order to keep government as near to the people as possible. Adams expressed these two beliefs in a speech given just before the American Revolution in which he proposed holding annual elections of representatives (Peek 101). He also compared men in a society with rotation-in-office to bubbles on the sea which "rise,...break, and to that sea return"; Adams later develops his thought by adding, "This will teach them the great political virtues of humility, patience, and moderation, without which every man in power becomes a ravenous beast of prey (Peek 102)." In response to the ideas of Melancton Smith, the strongest opposition from the Federalists came from Alexander Hamilton at the New York ratification convention. Hamilton, along with Roger Sherman and Robert Livingston, developed three strong arguments against implementing term limits in government: the people have a right to judge who they will and will not elect to public office, rotation reduces the incentives for political accountability, and rotation deprives society of experienced public servants (Foley 28). In general, the goals of all founders, despite their political affiliation, aimed at preserving a close connection between representatives and their constituencies. While the Antifederalists believed that imposing term limits would create enhanced participation in government, a check on tyrannical leaders, and greater representation of the people, the Federalists theorized that the same goals could be accomplished by the president serving a short term and having congressman follow his actions "(Foley 34) The Founding Fathers erred very badly, they did not conceive of professional politicians looking and lusting for lifetime power.

"You can not save the Constitution by destroying it."
The spinners will be busy if there is any substance at all.
I think Hillery knows about it, that's why she's staying in.
"You can not save the Constitution by destroying it."
Clinton/Obama is a sure winner by a landslide. McKooK/Clinton is a sure winner in a landslide. Obama/White Guy is a sure loser.
Things like that just didn't exist in the 1770s and 1780s in America. They weren't really exposed to it because most folks were trying to make a living back then and politics didn't pay very well. People were expected to maintain their own households back then - it was one of those "social things" that we say "Its how it is" nowadays about. The professional politician didn't come around until mass urbanization in the post-Civil War days if I remember correctly. Note that the Founders had their own personal fortunes; Government service didn't pay in the early days of the Republic. In fact, it didn't really start to pay until around the 1950s/1960s if I remember my Congressional Pay Rates properly.

True... However the South saw what was coming and in their Constitution they restrained their President to a one time six year term and out you go. The rebels were nearly 100 years ahead of the rest of the country before FDR stayed on for life and something had to be done. Also those were the days before this country became infested with lawyers looking for a steady paycheck.
Lawyers have always been like that. Shakespeare even noticed. "The first thing we do, let's kill all the lawyers." Henry VI, Part II, Act IV, Scene II

Clinton and Obummer are shysters, McKooK is just an every day madman, that needs to be put away.
John McCain-Lost in Space "You can not save the Constitution by destroying it."
Can we imagine this loser carrying the nuke football around? The real scary part is that the primary voters voted for him overwhelmingly..... Were they stupid, not listening or what?
Did you watch it? He truly is Lost in Space.
"You can not save the Constitution by destroying it."
Yes I did. Now explain to me how how a huge majority voted for such a person???
OK Is this FRAUD? YES "You can not save the Constitution by destroying it."
Saw that one before. I just dont know.
i'm inclined to believe that mcKook is the selected nominee. i know of no one who supports him so therefore i believe the primaries were frauds. i'm watching for a mcCain/lieberman ticket.
that's the most sensable AND idiodic thing I've heard
"You can not save the Constitution by destroying it."
The NWO wins no matter which one gets elected.
If McKooK wins, I am moving to Israel.
No need to move.
it's been years since i read it, but in Votescam: The Stealing of America, the Collier brothers reported that Sununu fixed the primary for George H. Bush in NH. that was in '88 i think? quite an eyeopening book, if you ever get the chance to read it.
Going to be an interesting time between now and Nov. The lust for power by all three is dangerous. Over three hundred million people and we have three slimes wanting to be president. Joe Sixpack would never stand a chance.
Unfortunately I know people who do actually support him. The problem is they know very little about politics and only support him becasue of his war record and I suppose his age. Unfortunately there are still quite a few people, (mostly older people) that want the war to continue. The problem is all three would continue the war. So voting on the war issue alone is not wise if you are restricting yourself to one of the elite candidates. I see no major difference in any of them besides their health care plans. On that issue McCain has the better plan, which is basically leaving it the way it is.
God is always good!
He's a military officer turned pandering politician. He should have stuck with military.

Career legislators are much less of a problem than career bureaucrats of the executive branch. It's not like the legislators read let alone write the laws they vote upon. The legislative branch (along with academia) is actually the dumping ground for the less competent. More competent folks job-hop the media-regulator-industry triad.
No no, b-b-BOP-p-p-bop bop bop...
I agree with you.

"HOLODOMOR" is Ukrainian word for "FAMINE-GENOCIDE"
Here in OR we have this: This one is on tape referring to the differences between Klingons and Vulcans and trying to claim he has pointed ears. The more I think about it, the more I like the idea of term limits. The Founders were correct in placing limits on the mob as well as limits on the Government.

Citing the engagement with the group as "part of his commitment to talking with all Americans.", McCain will attend the convention in San Diego July 14, according to a press release which also announced the launch of his own Spanish website. How could the dumb sob miss the point that the cockroaches who make up the gang known as La Raza aren't actual Americans? McCain is way too stupid to be president. But then, with any of the three the establishment has chosen for the people, there isn't one who doesn't pander to groups like that. A plague on all their houses.
Liberty is not a means to a higher political end. It is itself the highest political end. Funny!
No no, b-b-BOP-p-p-bop bop bop...
presidents don't need smarts. all that's required is that they can dance at the end of their puppet strings. ;)
presidents don't need smarts. all that's required is that they can dance at the end of their puppet strings. As some comedian observed, once the new president is taken into a screening room and shown the film of JFK's murder from the grassy knoll, and then is asked, 'Do you have any questions?' Things fall quickly into line.
uh huh. that's why the opining of the obamaphiles that he will be another jfk are unrealistic at best and delusional at worst.
Correct. The shadow government is still calling the 'shots,' if you will allow me that one. I wish I knew how to awaken the sheep out there.
Where is JT anyway?

Republican Nominee John McCain will speak at the annual conference of the National Council of La Raza (The Race), the extreme Hispanic lobby group that advocates a militant "reconquista" of the Southwestern United States.
