Let's help the Rethugs repeal presidential term limits.
The thugs would of course think that they would benefit from this and get George "President for Life" Bush.

The truth is, Bill Clinton would be able to run again and would win in a landslide. He's the best campaigner I've seen in my lifetime and I don't believe there's a politician alive who could beat him.

Yeah, I know, he's a member of the DLC and there's quite a bit on which we disagree with him. But what would you rather have, the big dog, or McCain or some other thug POS?

1. Let's not.
Do you really think that if Hillary runs he would run against her or that Hillary would step aside for him to run? I don't.

2. I'll second that
let's not - Bush has already stolen two elections - what makes you think he wouldn't steal one against Bill Clinton. I know alot of folks think if the numbers are high enough for "our" candidate they won't be able to steal an election - I don't buy that for a minute. If "they" can just flip the vote count at the central tabulator what possible difference does it make how big the vote is for one candidate or another - who is going to stop them - the media - the concerned American citizens.

Also Clinton has sucked around the Bush family so much in the last several years that I probably wouldn't even vote for him again. I have Bush and Clinton (both Bill and Hill) fatigue - time for someone new - I don't know maybe someone who is actually trying to stand up for the Constitution say maybe a certain Senator from WI.

3. LETS NOT!!!!!!
As long as the voting system is rigged to always elect a rethugliCON, you would have to be crazy to want to help these crooks. It is already bad enough that we have an out of touch neocon SCOTUS for life, why would you want to make things even worse. We should have term limits for ALL elected government positions, too much power will always lead to corruption, as we have ALL experienced with bushco.

5. The only law change that should happen is..........
.....to give Presidents one 6 year term and then they are out for good. There should NEVER be a repeal of the Presidential term-limit.

6. Loosen up.
I would have gotten back to you all sooner, but I was out picketing a fundie church with my "JESUS IS FRENCH" poster.

Everyone seems to have had too much caffeine and taken my original post a little too seriously. I know we can't get a fair election, and no way do I want the lunatic party screwing around with constitutional amendments.

the republican party is thinking about repealing presidential term limits. I said, that's a great idea.. President Clinton can run again. He lowered his head and walked away...
