They have been doing that for a number of decades? how much is enough? It's a matter of perspective from a different age and many more years of watching hope remain betrayal. Or as some of the others would put it..you don't have to eat s**t to know it tastes bad. Those who don't learn from history perpetuate the same history - Question is how long do you plan on supporting the left?

My oath to the Constitution does make me a radical and the eyes of the left guilty of some form of terrorism. Sorry I don't have the privilege. I can suggest changes that could be made but asked for those willing to discuss them. I was born a citizen but not in the country.
Some are born to lead. Some are content to do other jobs that need doing. Electable these days means Republican or Democrat which means status quo. You need to do more than be elected
Strike Two.However if for the sake of argument I could do such a thing I would first not utter the following words of the Presidential Oath. ''to the best of my ability.' From what I've seen it hasn't been good enough. Keep looking. I''ll give your effort a clue. Look in the realty of fiction for it's a better guide line than the fiction of reality we live in at the present and the foreseeable future. Sometimes it's the only way to keep hope alive for the benefit of future generations.

the hard part is finding a candidate that has the closest philosophy and track record of some sort. The old saying is the best are too busy doing something useful to waste their time on politics. You'll find examples of that on this forum.

So find me someone who holds the Constitution as the center point of American politics with those who want more government and control of citizens to the left and those who want more citizen control to the right (it's an empty space why not use it for the moment) with those in the center willing to give on some points but not give on the iimportant points AND willing to form a coalition as the left wing has done. The list goes on but I choose the Cosntitution as it is a fine start point but yes does need some fine tuning as it was written for context of the times 240 years ago. Changing the census from people to citizens a good example.Perhaps amending the voting system from electoral college to direct vote. Either adding the word edcuation or disbanding the Department of Education, I'm in favor of the latter because it's not an allowed power. I would look hard at an implied power of setting standards. Road widths, number of lanes, The meaning of High School Graduate or Bachelors Degree. I would look at adding definitions so that one side or the other could get away with verbal murder. How about requirements to become a Supreme Court Judge? There are only two. Nomination by the President and approval by the Senate. Could be the former President of Mexico or a 12 year old from Mars and there is zero requirement for a Justice to be a lawyer. I would look at agreeing on some changes to make voting and elections honest. They aren't. I would look hard at dumping or changing the 17th and 18th amendments and making it a federal law for all localities to have initiative, referendum, and recall up to an including the State's Delegates to the national congress.

The key point is the beliefs are too disparate and too many are unwilling to give a little to gain something and still not give too much or support any form of evil. Otherwise you become just another Government Party.

I would consider earning the right to vote and not just by military service.

I would ban the draft in any form but if it was kept demand women be included. They have no constitutional exemption.

I would return the State Militias to the State instead of playing games with terms like National Guard as a way to describe a federal reserve force. They pay the bill they get first call.

I would interpret the Second Amendment as it is written. a mechanism for the states to arm their state militias. by allowing any citizen to own a weapon which then automatically makes them a member (active, reserve, or on call) of the state militias.

I would favor banning abortions at some point in the third trimester when competent medcial authority deems the dependent fetus is at a viable stage sufficient to be a candidate for premature birth and then grant it the same rights of protection of all citizens.

But what I would insist on our some of the key points.

Find me a candidate for that. So far they don't exist or don't care to participate or are too far to the left or the right (which is anarchism as long as I'm borrowing the unused area to define those who want citizen control of government as a base line.

Number One. Have any beliefs you want as long as you keep one foot int he center, the constitution and be willing to work for change by amendment rather than letting some two bit Chicago shyster rule by edict, by ignoring the law and worse getting away with it. I guarantee such a person will publicly disavow all connection with the two current fiascos or better yet have never belonged.

Find me someone even fairly close to that.

So is Rand Paul a Libertarian, a Republican or just goes with the wind?

As for getting Obeyme impeached if taking the Oath twice then immediately announcing each time his intent to ignore and doing so isn't enough. I don't think the subject was even raised when the Constitutional Scholar showed his only knowledge was how not to support and defend the law of the land.Where were all the so called second party Republicans then? Noses in the trough? Two party system my ass. One party with two faces.

Is Scott Walker A Republican, a Democrat or???. Sorry to have to ask. Where I live we are not bombarded senseless on a daily basis. It's often easier just to ask and along the way find out way from reputable sources.

See you are half way there. Rino is half the battle. Now for the Dino. Not doing as bad as you thought. Just a bit of positive encouragement. Once you have broken free of the Government Party things become much clearer and the choices far easier.The best thing is you don't have to choose any kind of evil anymore. Never again.
