And the republican joke fest begins

The circus has begun. Soon the infighting will commence and those who are decent among the republicans will be dropping out of the race, leaving us with the typical vermin to choose from. This nations government so desperately needs a colonic that the toxic sludge would likely kill everything in a 1000 mile radius.

Trump? Graham? Huckabee? Rubio? Christie? Pataki? Santorum? BUSH!?

This isn't a game, all the chips are on the table for the future of MY NATION. This is nothing less than disgusting.

    No deals, No quarter. No evil by any description. there is no lesser or greater evil. There is only evil and those who support evil.

    I'm beginning to smell blood, fear and above all I smell victory.

    No question, we need to work the 'lesser evil' angle. Even a hapless Keating (even with executive orders) is far better than a malevolent Toohey. (or Bush I,II, or III vs. Clinton I, Obama or Clinton II and etc.)
    I'm suggesting that no one person is likely to be able to use the tools currently available to peacefully change a dysfunctional infrastructure that has been 100+ years in the making.

    So what do you suggest? For one a well meaning President could reverse a bunch of executive orders. Nothing needed from Congress. as for entrenched bureaucracy. They all work for him. I'll use the military for example. General I have no confidence in you. i don't trust you. therefore i'm revoking your security clearance. No clearance - no commission, no commission no uniform. Report to personnel for discharge processing. Oh you don't have enough time to retire Major? Tough Shit. Should have thought of that earlier.Ahh bureaucrat! about that pay raise....vetoed. I'll make sure all your people know the cause. And the layoffs start tomorrow.

    Being careful not to disturb the sacred cows of retirement pay and social security and medicare of course.

    On the other hand weren't all of them going to be investigated?

    So if Obama can get away with it to further his purposes whatever they were. Why not Mr. well meaning?

    On the other hand we could just roll over and play dead.

    I am starting to believe the Government Party is smelling political blood in the next election. Theirs. I find that rather refreshing.

    Let's see what their next trick might be.

    Good post!

    But, the voters can break the sham; we can vote for the Constitutionalists. If it is between Hillary and Jeb, I will write in my vote. I will NOT vote for either one of them. And, I think more and more Americans are beginning to feel this way.

    We shall learn their weaknesses and determine if WE consider them weaknesses; and we shall see how many Republicans and Conservative Democrats realize the real intent of the established Democrats and Republicans and decide to break free.

    Don't waste your time, and that includes voting.

    It is a sham, it is rigged. Bush and Hillary have already been selected, Hillary will get 4 years because she is a woman. Then, I'm not sure what they will do (or, if the USA will still exist).

    As for all those voting for the lesser of two evils....I honestly think that voting for one person so another person doesn't win is the most immoral thing you can do short of physical aggression to get your way. Just think, if all of you (both Dems and Repubs) voted for a third candidate they would win easily. The media has you in a trance called the false left/right paradigm. Both parties are far left of center, both parties are corporatist (i.e. fascist), both parties fit snuggly in the Wesley Mooch mold.

    I, personally, am going to grab some popcorn and single malt scotch and enjoy the comedy that is the election cycle. Well.....until I get to the buzzed "I hate my fellow American" stage and cry myself to sleep.

    That's a start. Now what are their weak points. The stuff Carville and company all the ismests (is em ists) and bigots will complain about. New word I just made it up. Or real concerns that would make status quo oh so preferable?

    Second are there any in the Republican Party or the Conservative Democrat ranks willing to break free and actually mean it. Not like the clown the Republicans loaned out to destroy the Populists heft campaign fund - second time around?

    Cruz is a Constitutional Conservative and Rand is a Constitutional Libertarian; both of whom fully support running government by our Constitution. They are my 1st choices. Not sure about Walker; I'm afraid that he is with the Republican establishment, which is the same as the Democrats.

    Sorry to hear you've chosen to support evil

    Rand? Sounds like good news. He's having an operation? He's publicly resigning membership in and offering an apology for being a Republican? Mighty big wart.then running as a what. Centrist, Constitutionalist, Libertarian, Independent?

    There is no greater or lesser evil there is only evil. Get behind me.

    Which begs the question is being in a greater mess or a lesser mess more preferable. The same party won each of those six elections if you are referring to those who believe in complete control of the population and it was Bush who instituted the Directorate if Intenal State Security (DISS) sorry you know it as something else while wants it expanded to be more powerful than the military. I was shocked until I got to the end then realized you were pulling our leg big time. Go ahead and say it. Gotcha! I fell for it.

    you won't have to wait that long. Crown Princess Rodham dash something or another - unable to keep a job - has I'm told finished her third doctorate??? (Wow! That certainly beat a law degree and community organizer for a work record) and is being groomed to assume the throne - providing of course Obeyme abdicates.

    So you are going to quit and join the other side? If Clinton hadn't won then who? I seem to recall Bush wasn't it? Another member of the establishment who was famous for Read My Lips no new taxes. If nothing else the Populists proved our point by driving the Government Party system out into the open. You can't fix something until you know it's broken. I''d say the Perotistas did the country a major service. the snake isn't hiding under a rock or bush any more. My hat's off to all of your worthy efforts.

    Having enthusiastically thrown myself into actually working on the Perot campaign I can sadly say that I helped elect Bill Clinton.

    Sorry, guys.

    Let's examine the rest of the story sticking just to those in the majority.

    The Court stated that the right to keep and bear arms is subject to regulation, such as concealed weapons prohibitions, the carrying of weapons in certain locations, laws imposing conditions on commercial sales, and prohibitions on the carrying of dangerous and unusual weapons. (It did not define dangerous and unusual other than of a type similar to those generally in use at the time the Constitution was written (single shot rifles and muskets and pistols)

    It stated that this was not an exhaustive list of the regulatory measures that would be presumptively permissible under the Second Amendment. (Left it subject to interpretation.)

    The Court found that the D.C. ban on handgun possession violated the Second Amendment right because it prohibited an entire class of arms favored for the lawful purpose of self-defense in the home. It similarly found that the requirement that lawful firearms be disassembled or bound by a trigger lock made it impossible for citizens to effectively use arms for the core lawful purpose of self-defense, and therefore violated the Second Amendment right.

    (restricted to in the home)

    Because Heller conceded at oral argument that the D. C. licensing law is permissible if it is not enforced arbitrarily and capriciously, the Court assumes that a license will satisfy his prayer for relief and does not address the licensing requirement. Assuming he is not disqualified from exercising Second Amendment rights, the District must permit Heller to register his handgun
    (and must issue him a license to carry it in the home. Pp. 56–64.[180])


    The Court said it was unnecessary to address the constitutionality of the D.C. licensing requirement.(Thus failed to answer the question but assumed the right and evaded 9th and 10 Amendment issues.)


    The outcome of D.C. v. Heller leaves some issues unanswered, including whether the Second Amendment restricts state regulation of firearms, and the standard for evaluating the constitutionality of other laws and regulations that impact the Second Amendment right. These issues will be the subject of future litigation.

    Tell me again about no infringement?

    Then again there is the habit of ignoring the constitution by current and former Presidents and let us not forget the above majority opinions laid out no less than five plus areas 'not visited by the Supreme Court and restricted the infringement to the home in a sixth.)

    The rest was left up to the States and the lower courts although I did find that some states can authorize but not operate private militias.

    Bueno. I concede uncoupled from membership in State Militias and do not concede

    a. infringements as the plaintiff rights? were clearly infringed to exclude anything outside the home and in other ways

    and b. powers not granted though they were granted to the States but not the federal government however they neatly sidestepped they had no power to grant rights to the States - it's the other way around. I think they knew it but did not want to admit it.

    then sent it back to the States and lower courts with a clear message to continue infringements in an unexhausted and presumably presumptive list of other areas. Doesn't really meet the test of any definition on no infringement.

    As for you lefties (being neither right nor left myself) 9th and 10th Amendments live and not visited by the Supreme Court is not a permission to assume powers not granted. Doing so openly is a Nuremberg Defense and open admission of guilt combined with a plea for clemency or leniency in sentencing. Tell Carville you need a better line of BS.

    You mean the ones that take tax payer money and launder them through Davis Bacon Act union PACs in to campaign funds. A pox on your campaign finance laws they are designed to enrich the establishment congressional criminals and keep the country enslaved. Just like the insider trading laws. That's the first leg of the socialist triumverate using the second and third leg while they rip off those who produce the wealth they steal.Congress why not call them what they are the politbureau and reichstag combined. Only a fascist love would support any of them..

    Self-protection and other lawful uses of firearms was covered in the Supreme Court decision on the District of Columbia v. Heller. They held that the Second Amendment guarantees an individual's right to possess a firearm unconnected with service in a militia, and to use that arm for traditionally lawful purposes, such as self-defense within the home. Additionally, they stated in their decision that "The Amendment’s prefatory clause announces a purpose, but does not limit or expand the scope of the second part, the operative clause. The operative clause’s text and history demonstrate that it connotes an individual right to keep and bear arms." In effect, they decoupled the first and second clauses of the Second Amendment. So don't let the lefties use the militia argument!

    I think DJT is a good choice for the simple fact that he cannot be bribed, he calls it like it is, and I believe everyone would be afraid of him.

    Simply, I think he would kickass and take names!!!

    Might be a great idea!!! Think about it. At least THEN maybe ALL of the candidates would be asked hard questions instead of just the Conservatives. It would be better than debates and the electorate might actually get an unbiased view of each candidate!

    What do you think?

    My wish is for all 20,000 of us on this site to agree on whom is the best candidate to vote for, and vote en masse. Could this be possible?
