Ok Miles, no worries, I can see how you got there. I just wish I could post the rest of my comments regarding the 17th Amendment, but oh well. Maybe another day.

Seriously Snarktruth, I’m sorry about going on that welfare tangent, I misinterpreted what you wrote because I had had a heated arguement with someone else about welfare.

I didn’t say you were attacking him, I was just listing the only thing I know to be not allowed :p

And…to digress slightly, what was so great about Columbus anyways? The vikings found America way before he did, and they at least knew it was somewhere NEW xD

Ok, I can’t post the rest of it for some reason. Not nearly as long as some of my other commments, so I don’t think it is that. It has ” ‘ and ( but they all seem to work to.

Yes, you are correct it was present in it, but it doesn’t call for Slavery. The nature of “being”, back then, called for servitude sometimes for debtors and sometimes for those that the debtors had decided to provide “in their steed”. BTW, the Liberal Republicans of old are what I would call “regular” Republicans of today. Both parties have shifted left, with the Democrats practically falling off the map into Socialism [where many are today, i.e. Hilary Clinton, Dennis Kucinich]. The Democrats of old, commonly called “JFK Democrats” are typically considered Republicans today. Most are Conservative Libertarians such as myself.

“Maybe we should scrap our paycheck for food stamps” was simply another analogy regarding “changes” was not a statement on welfare.

Unfortunately – I grew up in western Mass and this will end up being the will of the people. I’d go up there to visit when i lived in Texas. I’m originally from Northampton – Home of Smith Coleege (My mom, aunts, and sister went there). I remember being amazed at the hammers and sickles painted on wall, the anti-columbus day banners, and the militant lesbians. Lets face it, the reason they are changing this is because they know that the state (commonwealth actually) will put a liberal dem in there. From history, I would assume a stinking rich limousine liberal.

Let’s try this one paragraph at a time.

“A bunch of lifers” I meant that we have Senators that are there for life. “Lifers”

Yes it is complex, so is electing a President. You don’t directly elect the Vice President as he is “appointed” by the Presidential candidate. So, if something happens to the President we are stuck with who they chose. Now, I am a solid Republican, but God help us if Dan Quayle became President, or for that matter, Al Gore. If you can’t trust those you elect to do their job, including appointing the Senator, then you can’t trust them to do their “JOB”. Ergo, fire them and elect someone else. We almost had that happen here in Pittsburgh this year with Pat Toomey putting up a substantial fight against Arlen “Pork Barrel” Specter, it came down to a 1000 plus votes.
