This type legislation gets submitted from time to time. I've seen it before during Dipstick's first term. People always want to know what the tipping point is and if this passes this piece of legislation will indeed be IT..
People always want to know what the tipping point is and if this passes this piece of legislation will indeed be IT.. Ohmygod. Dems have a significant majority in the House but if they were stoooopid enough to try to push this legislation through, no Dem would ever be elected to federal office again. This is a serious IT. They'd be lucky to be elected dog catchers in their home towns.
Right. Ever heard of Diebold??
This different. This is clearly about changing the Constitution, which even the dumbest sots in our nation hold dear [ well, except for 43 sot]. If the Dems tried to push this through, even Dancing with Stars fans would "get it" and be mighty pissed.

If the Dems tried to push this through, even Dancing with Stars fans would "get it" and be mighty pissed. No scrappy, I think that the majority of voters (most of who are clueless about the reasons for the amendment) would be told that "The 22nd amendment was passed to keep FDR from becoming prez for life!" and their reaction would be, "Well, Hayull, FDR gave us the greatest programs in the history of the world, (social security, NRA) and that amendment ain't doin' me no favors!" In fact most voters are as blatantly unprincipled as greedy socialists can be, and as long as their free lunch checks keep coming they'll never rock the boat or bite the (thieves') hands that keep the disposable income for bingo, Winnebago vacations and cruise ship tours showing up in their mail or through direct deposit. (I won't beat up on those who truly need the money, even though they aren't morally entitled to it either) Oh, sure, some folks may grumble but if their rep's opponent at the next election wants to cut govt spending and implement honest accounting practices that will only send chills up the spines of the recipients who know they're being bought off with other people's money, and young people's future. I've said this many times before but here it is again: For many years I've conducted a survey of the oldsters in my neighborhood barber shop, and I asked them if they'd be willing to sacrifice their SS checks to save America. The short answer is NO. They don't care about their own kids' or grandkids' futures, or what happens to America "after they die". (They always add that-they don't want to be alive when starvation and winter weather kills millions)

You may be right, unfortunately. We should never under-estimate the stupidity of Joe Six Pack and Suzy Homemaker.
