Article 1, Section 9, Constitution of the United States

If this is the law of the land...why in a republic (little r) and as republicans, do we allow mere POLITICIANS to the right to use a "title of office" for the rest of their lives as if it were de facto a patent of nobility. Because, as republicans, this should NOT be the case...just saying...

Alison Grimes Is Lying About Supporting Coal Industry

Here's a video showing just how craven Democrats are by Project Veritas.



It's amazing to what lengths Democrats will lie in order to get elected, and a major reasons why I will never vote Democrat or for a progressive candidate.

It's The People's Seat You Idiots

 In yet another argument FOR term limits, the idiot running against Rand Paul in Kentucky call's the Senate seat they're running for "Wendell Ford's Seat."  What part of it's the PEOPLE'S SEAT don't you understand.
 Some time back, I proposed the following as a possible 28th amendment:
  1. No citizen of the United States shall be elected to the House of Representatives to more than four (4) consecutive, two (2) year terms to office.
  2. No citizen of the United States shall be elected to the United States Senate for more than two (2) consecutive, six (6) year terms of office.
  3. No citizen of the United States shall receive any retirement benefits from serving in either the United States House of Representatives or the United States Senate.
  4. Congress shall not exempt itself from any laws of the United States of America, in whole or in part.
  5. Congress shall be in session for a period of not less than 90 consecutive days in the Spring, and 90 consecutive days in the Summer of each year. Each sitting of Congress may be extended by the President for a period not to exceed 30 days. The Spring session shall start on the first Monday of March. The Summer session shall begin on the first Monday in June. An additional 45 day session to begin on the 2nd Monday of November shall be called by the President if so deemed necessary, this session may not be extended unless a period of National Emergency is formally declared by the President. {This section I think is necessary to basically force Congress to actually work...in the past decade they generally only spend 2 1/2 days per week actually working in Washington, DC. Most often only from Tues afternoon to Thurs afternoon!}

The Hill Says Rand Paul Won't Appear on Meet the Press

Rand Paul will appear on NBC's "Meet the Press" despite an assertion otherwise, by The Hill
Rand Paul (R) canceled his upcoming appearance on NBC's "Meet the Press," according to multiple reports.

Unfortunately for them, those "multiple reports" come from the DNC, Kentucky Democratic Party, DSCC and Mr. Paul's opponent...not from either himself or his campaign.  His senior staff has been spending all day today preparing him for the appearance. 

While Mr. Paul made an idiotic appearance with Rachel MadCow (Maddow) on the Democratic propoganda network known as MSNBC as well as a dense speach on the Civil Rights Act, he is the better of the two candidates who remain in the Kentucky Senate race.

UPDATE:  I have egg on my face...here I am insisting he'll appear...then he doesn't.  Oh well, c'est la vie.
