@gungasnake,
It was a disgraceful act in the play now being staged by America's theater of the absurd: Washington DC.

We can only hope that the American people will close down the show in November and throw these actors off the stage.

The president of the country that is responsible for the problem the law seeks to address has the gall to condemn it in the house of our elected representative body and he receives a standing ovation.

Unbelievable.

Apparently, Calderone, The Expected One, Janet Napalaclowno, and Jeffery "No-Chin" Holder all believe that 71% of Arizonians and over 60% of all Americans are oppressive rascists, or just too stupid to realize how misguided and misdirected they are.

How did we end up with a government that is so willing to believe the worst of its citizens?

In theory the people are supposed to have some control over government via elections but that theory has broken down substantially of late. Having dems and independents choosing the weakest pubbie candidate in primaries clearly does not help.


What is needed, obviously and painfully, is a voters' bill of rights and the first item of such a bill HAS TO BE runoff elections or instant runoff elections for all public offices.

Nobody should ever fear to vote his first choice, at least on a first ballot, and nobody should ever hold any public office with less than 50% of the vote.

There should also be a None-Of-Above choice on all ballots for public office and if that choice ever wins, then the other candidates should be barred for life from holding any public office and the parties sponsoring them should be barred for at least ten years from sponsoring candidates for that particular office. The penalty for running dead wood for public offices should be severe.

That alone would likely have saved this last election. McCain and Oinquebama would be barred for life from running for public offices and the way would be clear for two new parties to field candidates for president.

Another item on such a voters' bill of rights should be something which would eliminate voting fraud for all time and if that means getting rid of the secret ballot or at least limiting it somehow or other, so be it, we're paying too high a price for it. Somehow or other it has to be possible to check up on votes when there are questions or evidence of fraud.

One last item on such a list would be a provision that when a president is impeached and removed, his VP goes out the door with him and the office is either vacant until the next election or an emergency election is held to fill the office for the remainder of the current term. Granted removing a president should be difficult but it should not be impossible and if we couldn't remove Slick, we'd not have been able to remove Hitler or Nero either.

What happened in 98/99 was that Trent Lott simply refused to hand the presidency over to Algor with a year to go on Slick's second term, for obvious reasons. The situation should not be possible.

There are a few other things you'd want but that's the main gist of it. There is also a question as to the extent the people should be voting on issues directly since we now have the technology to allow that while the founding fathers did not. You could get some of these evil social issues settled once and for all and out of politics, and you could limit the scope for corruption and bribery by letting the people themselves settle at least some kinds of issues.

Hope is not a plan. We got to do everything in our power to throw the bums out.

When was the last time a foreign leader spoke to a joint session of Congress trashing the constitution (2nd Amendment), federal, and state laws? I'm really curious to find out.

@electronicmail,
Kind of like having Benito Mussolini invited to speak on the floor of the house in 1939 and every pubbie in the house cheering as he trashed America you say??

Kind of hard to picture, isn't it? I mean, the republican party would have been outlawed and banned right there and its leaders rounded up and tossed into padded cells in some loonie bin and the doors welded shut.

@DrewDad,
Calderon and his lawbreaking compatriots attacking the overwhelming majority of Americans who want to enforce US laws DOES sound a lot like the fable of the mice deciding to bell the cat.

It doesn't make it better that he was addressing the US Congress at the time, more like adding gross insult to already sustained massive financial injury. Do you have a list of the Democrats who got up and applauded Calderon's incitement to break the laws? I'd like to have that list please.
