Sadly, we are following the same internal degeneration into liberalism as ancient Rome. If we do not learn from those mistakes we will reap the same end.

jaysonret #1 asks a very good question. For those with enquiring minds the answer is it is illegal to do what they are doing. The constitution is actually quite clear on the matter. There are actually a few quotes by the founding fathers that I need to research and post as well as sitting congressmen who decried these actions as being illegal and unconstitutional. I suggest we send a copy of the constitution to all the elected reps. It would have helped Larry Craig. If he knew the constitution he would have known that he could not be arrested as he was travelling from the senate to his home. For these trivial matters he gets a free pass. Check out the constitution, its in there.

Really? Are you pretending not to already know exactly what he’s going to do?

He will be absent from the vote! No doubt. He won’t have weighed in on either side, and he’ll get to continue being conservative while bowing to The Race (if they wore brown hoods around, would that help it seem more obvious?)

If they’re going to require counseling, then either the lender or the lendee needs to be paying for it. Money that goes to bloated, inefficient lib-tanks that are notihing more than democratic mouth pieces is theft. The American taxpayer is being robbed by the democract majority, with less than nothing to show for it.

Ok, best I can tell this is legislation that was introduced over a year ago and it’s status is listed as “referred to House committee on Financial Services”. Good to keep an eye on, but probably will die in committee.

So…what’s the bill number? I’d like to be able to refer specifically to the legislation when I write my congressmen.

Argh. I MEAN, he’ll nominate someone who WILL “share (his) values” and that means, “no Conservatives.”

Sorry, it’s late, I’m a bit tired.
