I don't trust this current crop of politicians to touch anything and not turn it to sh*t. The first 10 amendments are sacrosanct and thereby Uneditable. Fuck you you elephant ankled, carpet munching, communist cunt. The part in red is not true, but I get your point. I disagree with you. They are holy from God. There is nothing that prevents the states from amending any part of the Constitution, including any of the amendments, via the process laid out in Article V. I agree we have inalienable rights, as stated in the Declaration of Independence, that come from our Creator, not any man or government. Those rights cannot be "edited" by man. But the Constitution was created by men, and can be amended by men. |

View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted: Quoted: It's not a good dodge when it's that obviously a dodge. I thought it was a pretty complete answer, since the question requires more than a "look at rule 1b" response. But, either way, and whether you like it or not, party nominations are not an elective process that is under federal jurisdiction. And it seems pretty clear, from the many opinions voiced on the matter, that if the GOP jumps the top candidates to emerge from the caucuses, primaries, and conventions, and stuffs some noncompetitive hack in as their nominee, they'll lose, and lose badly. So tell me again how that doesn't work itself out in the end? |

Wow, tossing out the Constitution, and still has a chance to be President. That is a pretty sad platform.

Isn't everything great with President Obama?). Or is it only acceptable to criticize politicians if you contribute to some other politician's campaign within the limits set by the government? Why is it okay for CBS, NBC, and ABC to give out millions (billions?) worth of free support but if a few guys from AR15.com want to pool our money that is bad? Face it, the current system protects incumbents at the expense of liberty. |

I really hate to say I agree with Hillary on something
Why should a corporation receive the same protections as a person? The individuals IN the Corporation should never lose their inalienable rights, but The Constitution lays out a government of the people by the people and for the people. Not a series of fucking fiefdoms where CEO's get to dictate policy. I mean if you guys are cool with being serfs then by all means. I however refuse to bow to a king or baron just because he is in the private sector. |
