4. End the direct election of senators by repealing the Seventeenth Amendment.

5. Require the federal government to balance its budget every year.

6. The federal Constitution should define marriage as between one man and one woman in all 50 states.

7. Abortion should be made illegal throughout the country.



Can all of us put down the hoes and spades we are sinking into each others skulls for a minute and take a look at this... YIKES

5. If so then what does that tell us about Obama who appointed him and Geitner--the two who started it
Edited on Sat Aug-20-11 02:24 PM by vroomvroom
And if we are being honest we all know that Obama knows Barnanke and Geitner are solely for the big banks. He even re-appointed them and even bagged Geitner to stay on despite the continued recession and high unemployment that both men were primary kingpins (among a handful of others) to creating.

7. The piece of crap to whom I referred
is Rick Perry, not Mr. Bernanke. You recall that he insinuated that Bernanke was close to being treasonous, right?

3. They love the Constitution so much they want to give it a makeover.
They are also rewriting the Bible to give it a capitalist bent. Oy.

6. WTH is wrong with electing our own Senators?
These right wingers get more ridiculous each day. Next he'll want to undo the 19th Amendment.

8. Why the fuck are abortion, Senate elections, and teh gayz the #1 priorities of the GOP?
It makes no fucking sense at all considering the shape of our economy and the wars.

9. It's because they know their limitations
Dirty Harry once said, "A man's gotta know his limitations." And they obey that.

They know their economic policies don't work. They also know their war policies don't work. God, Guns and Gays ALWAYS work, so that's what they use.
