The Fun word lol.

The petitions are so easy to get man.  I have almost 60 signatures now doing nothing.   And in Florida I bet they don't even try to see if they're registered.  or alive.

Pay them cigarettes mostly, I think.

You boys should try to get Roy Moore on the ballot in Alabama.  Turnabout is fair play.  Ever since moving to california I have become a big fan of having as many choices as possible.

Roy Moore was a good man. Standing up to the Federal Govt is the proper thing to do. They had no right to remove the Ten Commandments. Show me in the constitution where it says, "Seperation of Church and State."

Roy had courage and conviction, no doubt.  But there is the little problem of the first amendment.  Here's a story about the liberal media you just might agree with, statesrights:

Show me in the constitution where it says, "Seperation of Church and State."

"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion.."
-USC, Ammendment I

"no religious Test shall ever be required as a Qualification to any Office or public Trust under the United States"
- USC, Article IV, Clause 3

Oh no you didn't!  Let's see, Pickering is too religious, so of course he can't be an appeals court judge.  And Miguel Estrada, well, he's catholic.  You know what that means.  This level of hypocrisy exceeds even my own.

 But it doesn't have to be here to stay.  I pay my debts.  I bet you do too.  So should our great country.  I know everybody bitched about Reagan's spending into the red.  But I admit, in terms of forcing the Soviet to spend so much and throw themselves off kilter, we showed the world the power of the dollar.  But the world already knew the power of the dollar!  In fact, that's why those Talibaan bastards are frustrated.  I'm just saying that you can't keep running up the tab.  Ever had a big bartender come after you with a bat?  I haven't either.  And I don't want to.

All I'm saying is that I recognize that it is a point of contention in the GOP, and in the electorate in general, that the Fed is printing too much money.  Sure, it grows on trees, but the real value of a dollar can only be worth as much as our total Gross Domestic Product.  And I'm certainly not a protectionist, but we have to consider our severe reliance on foreign labor and foreign capital.  We do need to discuss things rationally, for the good of my family and yours.

I won't mention taxation because I suspect we probably agree on that.  There's a paradox.  I guess we'll just have to cut spending.  But on what then?  I suppose that's how the elections are normally decided.  Maybe not this year though...

I can tell you have done your homework for the NO campaign.
