Political things which need fixing

I wouldn't support any of these 3 proposals.



Since this clearly says "all elected offices" that means runoff elections for the local dog catcher too. That seems a bit over the top.



So again, someone that runs for President and loses can't go back home and run for mayor for at least 20 years? "dead wood" is in the eye of the beholder.



Guilt by association? An impeachment is a criminal proceeding conducted by the legislative branch. Sorry, if both are to be removed from office then both had better be found guilty of committing offenses.

The basic reality of what happened in 99 was that Trent Lott simply refused to hand the presidency over to Algor with a year left on Slick's second term, regardless of evidence or circumstances. That's unacceptable. No person and no party should profit or benefit from his or its own evil deeds. There would be no stigma attached to a vice president leaving with an impeached president and, again, the system as it presently stands is completely broken. Something has to give.

swolf.....another transparent swipe at the democratic party no more no less.......do try to be more clever won't you?

Trent Lott made up his own mind and did what he chose to do for reasons of his own. If Al Gore commited an impeachable offense then the House could have impeached him for it. No one, including Gore, should be held responsible for the actions of someone else.



No person and no party should be able to profit or benefit by booting an innocent person from office for something they didn't do either.

As I noted, the thing I posted above is a minimal list. Solving those problems might suffice, and it might not.

If you really want to solve the problems presented by the democrat party, a couple of other things might be necessary as well.

The 2000 election was close only by dint of massive fraud on the part of the democrats. 100% Voter turnout was being claimed in areas in which, on a given day, half the adult population is either drunk on their asses, flaked out, cracked out, dead, in prison, otherwise occupied, or otherwise incapacitated. A 60,000 vote lead by W. with 20 minutes to go was all but wiped out by some sort of major vote manufacturing effort which simply missed the count by a couple of thousand. In fact, the only way anybody ever came up with to produce a "dimpled chad" by test with the voting machines used in Florida was by punching fifteen or twenty ballots at the same time. Dimpled chads are an artifact of vote manufacturing.

Now, I don't have a perfect solution to the problem of democrat voting fraud and would appreciate hearing suggestions. One possibility I've heard would be to end the "war on drugs" and declare a "war on fraud" on the same day, figuring that every druggie thrown out of prison would be one more prison cell available for a democrat.

Another possibility which I could live with pretty easily would be to eliminate the secret ballot entirely. Americans no longer live in Peyton Place or company towns and in our present litigeous society in which nobody can be fired for real reasons any more, I'd be more than happy to count on John Edwards and his cohorts to keep people from being fired for how they vote. I don't think it would happen. The idea would be to have everybody's SSN and ballot available on a national database which anybody could check up on.

But, like I say, I haven't heard of a totally perfect solution to that one, and would appreciate hearing other ideas.

well, that's might thoughty of you swolf but really seems like an extra cost burden on the old budget to let the druggies out of prison and then send then back in under the umbrella of "democrats." I always figured drugies and democrats to be the same cast of characters anyway. I guess you would think of it as money well spent, you know, recycling and all.

I'm sorry what did you say dys? I lost my train of thought........
