vote lazs..

[lazs2]

Just to give people a choice who are real individualists and not socialist ant people like mac voters...

Roll back all laws to those prior to 1912.  

Make sure that the supreme court does not expand the constitution but that it only interprets it according to the founders original intent.

simple stuff really.

When I hear someone say this or even when I think it myself I wonder.. Was there some kind of super morality, best of intentions, perfectly politically farsighted, utmost best for the country enzymes in the food back when the founding fathers figured out the perfect way to run a country for 10,000 years?

And what do we have to do to bring that food back to the market?

[lazs2]

please explain what is wrong with the government idea that they founded back then or that does not apply to today.    The ten commandments and the golden rule were written even before that... how sir are they outdated?

The constitution does allow for modification of the bill of rights you know... just not through the supreme court.

I would vote for Lazs, but i am British.

Shame.

[lazs2]

you could be on my cabinet.... you wouldn't do anything but that would make you worth more than most previous members of cabinets.

The accent would be a problem..  just nod and look wise.    You could speak at womens groups tho.. they eat that brit accent stuff up.

hows mom?

What I'm saying is where's the present day Franklins, Jeffersons and Washingtons?

Do they exist but we glorify the founding fathers so much that we can't recognize their faults ... so no one can really matchup in our minds?

Or has the government just completely turned into a fraternity of selfserving taxpayer freeloaders?

And if so, why didn't our all seeing founding fathers see that?

men of equal caliber are serving the country today.  the media of the day was far harsher than our own.  the pageant themselves were not above mudslinging and trolling in the local press attempting to get a rise out of their political opponents.  I don't recall any period other than the foundational where the secretary of the treasury was killed in a duel by the vice president.  we are tame by comparrison.

Vote Lazs in 2008! :cool:

I often wonder if men like Ben Franklin could make it in today's political arena.  Or if his obvious assets would be overshadowed by tabloid stories of how many women he slept with, how much he drinks, etc.  I also wonder, conversely, how many of today's politicians would survive the political climate of THEIR times, when ability counted for much and there were no cameras to smile and wave at.

Kinda makes you wonder if we've really progressed after all.

Btw, I'd vote for lazs.    Not saying he wouldnt be impeached within his first year, but I'd vote for him lol.

[vorticon]

how much he drinks?

canada wouldnt exist if it wasnt for alcohol.

so i cant see why being a bit of a boozer is a problem

[StarOfAfrica2]

And..................

Thats supposed to be an argument FOR drinking??

[Neubob]

I'd vote for you. Maybe it would work, maybe not. One thing is for sure, it would be fun and wacky.

Question, though... The big red nuclear button--would you at least touch it once a day?

[lukster]

What're ya running for lazs? President? King? I'll vote for ya unless Newt throws his hat in the ring.
