A deal for all you cinservatives.

A bipartisan meeting of the minds, if you will, with good things for all of us.
It will require a couple ammendments to our good old Constitution, though. Here’s the deal;
For you: I’ll pass an ammendment to abolish the requirement that the President be born in the US. You get to run The Governator in '08. Cool, huh? :cool:

For me: you pass an ammendment to abolish Presidential term limits. As long as we vote for a candjdate, he/she gets to run. That way I get to run Uncle Bill.

Clinton vs Schwarzenegger in '08. Whaddya say?

I put a lot of thought into this proposal, so please treat it with thr respect which it deserves.
Peace,

Clinton in a walk. He’s be president now if it weren’t for term limits.

Eh, neither proposal is horrible on its merits.

You’re mistaken, though, if you believe Arnold Schwarzenegger is a “cinservative”. :stuck_out_tongue:

But, but, but: He got elected despite having no credentials for the job whatsover, he made completely unrealistic promises, he has a very shady past and his big achievement so far is to not actually cut spending but to increase borrowing (let later generations pay off our spending!). That’s a “conservative” no matter how you spell it.

If you believe there’s a single conservative who wants Arnold in the White House, you obviously HAVEN’T given this any thought.

In the abstract, though, I’d be fine with letting foreign-born citizens and/or two-term Presidents run.

Oh, and the most likely beneficiary of such a rule change would NOT be Arnold- it would be Michigan Governor Jennifer Granholm, who was born in Canada, and would be a strong contender for a spot on the ticket, otherwise.

Sorry, but the rest of the country isn’t as enamored with Arnold as Califoria seems to be. And we certainly don’t want to ammend the Constitution for his sake.

I don’t think UncleBill is much of a Liberal, either.

I’d park the Zamboni in Satan’s reserved spot and rush to the polls to vote for Nader. Then I’d go home to my wife, Morgan Fairchild.

I promise I previewed. One of the mods must’ve changed it to :o me.

Oh, he’s a conservative alright. You guys can’t deny him that easily. You were all singing an entirely different song when ran against Davis. Now that we’re learning that he actually is just an actor, well…

Not that Uncle Bill, the other Uncke Bill.
But no, much of a liberals don’t get elected.

Quite frankly, I disagree with both of your proposed ammendments. I don’t want no foreigner runnin’ mah gov’ment, and I sure’s’hell don’t want Assbag, err, Clinton or her husband back :smiley:

Well, neither restriction is gonna do you much good in keeping that Clinton out. Your only hope is that she quits kickin’ ass in the senate. She’s on her way, with Bill in tow. I, for one, do not dread the day. :slight_smile:
Seriously, there are three things I don’t like about presidential elections;
In desending order of distaste;
[ul]
[li]Electoral College.[/li][li]Term Limits.[/li][li]Immigrant Restrictions.[/li][/ul]
In simple terms, I can decide for myself how to vote. Sorry, Vermont. :wink:

And in spite of all that I’ve heard nothing but good things about how he’s doing in California.

I was referring to the joke (commonly seen on bumper stickers), that President Clinton ought to be kicked out of the Whitehouse and her husband too. :stuck_out_tongue:

I would love to see the Electoral College go kersplat. Term limits, however, I agree with.

You and I read completely different media. Completely different.

Please consider each of the following flamed:

Persons who believe MPSIMS is a good place for a political discussion.

Persons who believe the word “amendment” has more than two "m"s.

That’s Me! :slight_smile:

What could be more mundane than politics, manny.

I’m stumping for the extra “m”. I feel that if enough people say it (we do), we ought to spell it. I’m a living, breathing axiom, and I love company.
So flame away, feller. I have asbestos balls. :wink:
