If the constitution is set in stone, then I want President Obama in 16,20,24,28,32,36

[graham4anything]

after all, if Rand and Ron and all their non-democratic fans want to go back to the original intent of everything

then let's abolish the 22nd amendment and re-elect President Obama in 2016,20,24,28,32,36,40,etc.

After all, the founding fathers never intended to have 2 terms.
That was just to stop another FDR

I didn't hear Tommy Jefferson say a President couldn't be unlimited.

and if the constitution is a living breathing document, then let's reinterpret the 2nd and get rid of all
guns and bullets from private individuals.

The Paulites can't have it both ways.

1. How do think it

will work to reinterpret the 22nd amendment so President Obama can run for re-election? Wgat argument can be made to the USSC?

[randome]

2. I see the same kind of 'fundamentalism' applied to the Constitution as others do to the Bible.

That's the tenor of some of these arguments. We are operating in the here-and-now and here-and-now is where we should base our decisions.

Our society is beyond the wildest imaginations of our 18th century forebears so I get tired of hearing references to them, too.

You're right, the Constitution is not set in stone. It has never been set in stone.

3. "Hillary is a monster" -Samantha Power, Obama's designate for UN Ambassador

[reformist2]

4. Obama wouldn't win a third term.

[Skittles]

11. sure he could

just find an opponent as bad or worse than Romney

[graham4anything]

14. Obama won a landslide in 2008 and 2012. Obama WON, Romney LOST.

and 95% of the core democratic party SUPPORTS BARACK OBAMA

and sees theses smears for what they are. SMEARS that all have been 100% debunked.

[Skittles]

18. LOTS of people voted AGAINST and NOT FOR

[graham4anything]

19. no one who is part of the 95% that I know.

and those that wanted Hillary can in 2016 vote for Hillary.

win-win-win

[Skittles]

20. what the FUCK does Hillary have to do with this?

are you assuming I supported Hillary? I DID NOT because of her insane support of the war. What is wrong with you?

[former9thward]

5. Reagan would have won a third term also.

Is that what you want?

[graham4anything]

16. I voted for Jimmy Carter. Why didn't Elizabeth Warren?

[freshwest]

6. I'm for that! But we have to turn the states BLUE instead of RED like Ryan wants to repeal the 14th.

Oh, there are a lot of people who want to play with the Constitution.

Under Citizens United, what do we think we would get with such a gullible populace?

[msongs]

7. or we could elect a nice liberal/progressive instead :-) nt

[Revanchist]

8. Using your logic I don't think there would be a President Obama

Because of the pesky little fact that the original intent of the constitution meant that only white property owners were allowed to vote and slavery was legal.

edit:

Meant to say white male property owners cause you know the founding fathers knew better then to give the vote to those emotional women-folk

9. Failure to understand the difference between an amendment and a law passed by congress?

The 22nd was passed and ratified by the states as was laid out in the constitution. The constitution specifically lays out how it's to be changed, and the 22nd is well within it. Passed and ratified by the states.

One day you'll manage to get through a thread without referencing either of the Pauls.

10. You only have to abolish the 4th Amendment and the 22nd to realize your Utopia

Speaking of "Utopia", do they know you've escaped?

[graham4anything]

17. the 2nd is far more important than the 4th or 14th. We need of course, to reinterpret that.

militas=National guard.

and we need the NRA to have an opponent who will be the great equalizer and finance one dollar more in every district

all we need is $$$$$$
money good when it gets rid of the NRA
and why are they tax free? they do NOT perform any service.

12. It WAS you who wanted Hillary in 2016, and Michelle after Hillary.

Edited to modify subject line, and to add this, which is on all your posts:

As Abraham Lincoln stated,We could not secure the good we did secure if we grasped for more.Lincoln-FDR-LBJ-Carter-Obama. 5 best of all time.LBJ said-Any jackass can kick down a barn but it takes a good carpenter to build one.Hillary45 to continue the President Obama agenda for 8 more years. Michelle Obama/John Schlossberg in 2024

There is some sort of contradictory message in all this.

[hobbit709]

13. Still delusional, after all these years.

[ileus]

15. we do need to fix the 2A...

A basic civil right shouldn't be muddied up.

I we have the right to life and liberty it would be hard to guarantee either without giving us the ability to protect the those we hold dear.
