I'm seriously thinking of running for the Senate... just have to decide on where to move so I can. Rules are different in different states, but I think most it's just six months residency or something.

I too am tired, and I would not put up with shenanigans. Of course, Christians might have a hard time voting for me since I am an admitted non-believer. However, I totally support their right to legislate their beliefs even if it comes from the Bible.

I am an originalist. So I believe in our founders original intent. These men were extremely intelligent, and they fashioned their words in the Bill of Rights and Constitution to be taken literally, not interpreted. It was Thomas Jefferson, one of our founding fathers and a student of Plato, said "A democracy is nothing more than mob rule, where fifty-one percent of the people may take away the rights of the other forty-nine. ". In fact, the lion share of our founders held scorn for democracy, and never intended that American government be a democracy, but a constitutional republic. It is for this reason that I think that at least 98% of our founders would not side with any liberal or Democrat on their quest for power and in their force of word. It also proves that any European model now would repulse them even more.

We need representatives to go to Washington and fight the Democrats and Liberals. To create gridlock so nothing can get done. And, to actively campaign on this premise.... "We promise to create gridlock so the Democrats can do nothing. Then, we promise to help others like us get elected and as we gain the majority, we will begin rolling back laws, entitlements and other programs. We will cut people off cold turkey. If we can't do it, we'll continue gridlock until we can. Our goal is to reduce government's reach into your pocket book, to take government out of the market and return government to the watchful overseer of the market, rather than an active participant. I would push for more active investigating of businesses like Worldcom and Enron, while pushing for tort reform that would limit how far these investigations could go without any proof or evidence of wrongdoing.

I would go on... but I'll stop here for now. I want to run for office because I believe that someone has to go to Washington, not as a politician, but as one of us, and not have in mind that politics is his life, but that we'll stay there until we can roll back power.

Hi Joe, you mean the facts like in nature, when one of the herd is wounded, the others abandon it to the predators.

Do you mean like the facts that the strongest lion in the pack chases away all the younger lions and eats his fill and barely leaves any for the other lions, but they dutifully comply with his power?

Do you mean the fact in nature which has spawned monkeys which kill other monkeys for no apparent reason other than the monkey was in its way?

Do you mean like the fact that every time socialism has been tried, it has failed or is in the process of imploding?

Those pesky facts???

Talk to someone who believes your tripe.

bigtimer,

Hopefully this will wake up all the Republicans who have been sleeping in Washington. Boxer is rude and very disrespectful. If a male Republican would have ever said those words to her...well the msm would have never let it fly. Hypocrites, all of them!

Well since Boxer is a real witch then we have the perfect Democrat ticket for '08:  Clinton/Boxer (even though Bubba wore briefs).

And with these two we also have the Wicked Witch of the East (New York) and the Wicked Witch of the West (California). Now if only a house would fall on HiLIARy and if only Boxer would melt (hey if she does OwlGore can blame her melting on global warming!).

Oh and Lemon saying, "Good for her". Yet another example of the MSM not merely leaning, tilting, or even having a left wing bias. That's a clear and direct, "We at CNN are Democrats!" statement.

'HILLARY HAPPENS'

owl  dorm room?, Is that a synonym for padded cell?

An ugly American is one who does not support his country.

I have seen Barbara Boxer in action. Agreed she can be kind of rude and overbearing, but from the clip we both saw, he did not seem to want to let anybody get a word in and deserved Boxers put down.
