Uh oh... Proposed Constitutional Amendment

http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/query/...H.J.RES.24.IH:
I seriously doubt it's going to get through though.

TheStatutoryApe

Has this already been gone over or does no one remember what the 22nd amendment is?

rachmaninoff

Short-sighted political stunt.

Pengwuino

The democrats are just doing their usual screwing around trying to grab attention to themselves instead of doing their jobs.

What about Sensenbrenner? He's Republican. But, yeah, what the .... are they doing? The rest are all Democrats, so it appears to be a stunt of some sort (don't know any reason they'd seriously do this, but, they have, haven't they), and it's not even April 1.

Pengwuino

Yah a single republican

I wonder if anyones going to freak out and think this is Bush taking over the US

TheStatutoryApe

Alot of people talking about this seem to be hoping for a rerun of Clinton. There was talk of such an amendment while he was in office too.

Moonbear

That's not much more reassuring to me.

Moonbear

Yeah, but it means you can't entirely blame it in the Democrats.

Pengwuino

Well its normally a-ok to do the opposite around here

That kind of junk is always being thrown about...Democrats catch crap for being against Bush (Because, as well all know, this is America...we don't have the right to hold our own opinions here. ) and Republicans catch crap for lieing...when both sides lie through their teeth.

Pengwuino

hehe you haven't been around here much have you

No, I have not. However, I was not talking about this site when I made that post. I like this site but I would never even think of using it in a political discussion, that's a rather weak way to make your point. "There are these Republicans on a site I frequent that slam Democrats every time they post, I can't stand them and their damn party!!"

I've heard enough to know that Republicans like to slam Democrats, first and foremost, for disliking Bush. That's always been something that confuses me, really...because, like I tried to point out in my other post, this is America. To assume everyone will agree with you is asinine. However, instead of being amongst those who like to slam the opposing party simply because they're the opposing part, I'd much rather spend my time agreeing with whoever makes the most sense regardless of what they are. That allows me to see that both sides lie and that both sides are crooked.

Now, whether this site is populated with more Democrats than Republicans or vice versa, I don't base my posts off of this site's overall opinion on political matters.

You all did notice the date, right?
February 17, 2005

Ivan Seeking: Clearly not.

Moonbear

You mean it's not still 2005? Nope, I missed that. It's twice in two days I've seen something and thought it was recent when it really was a year ago! It just isn't sticking with me that it's really 2006.

TheStatutoryApe

I know. I haven't found anything yet that would indicate what happened with it. I'm not familiar enough to know whether it could still be sitting around collecting dust or if it would have to already have been approved or struck down.
