What should legislators do to stop another "GW Bush" from ever happening again?

Ah, so now we are introducing frivilous Amendments like 'Judges over 70 should be forced to retire'. I thought we learned our lessons about frivolous Amendments from the 18th.

Seeing as the ADEA is a LAW, why didn't you just say change the law?

I find it entertaining that, just as our longer and healthier lifespans are about to force us to jack up the age eligabilty for retirement, Che wants to force judges into a relatively low one.

It's clear that some of you do hate religous zealoats for being a busybody in other men's matters.
It's clear that they're not strict religious zealoats because the Bible clearly teaches us that we shouldn't be busybodies in other men's life, read 1 Pete 4:

"But let none of you suffer as a murderer, or [as] a thief, or [as] an evildoer, or as a busybody in other men's matters."

Conclusion: if you hate one, it can't be a real zealoat!

All you commies ever think of is denying the right to vote to anyone who is not a fellow commie. And you think people who believe in democracy and tolerance are extremists!

Find me a communist who truly believes in a multi-party system. Lenin, Mao, Ho, Castro? Who?

As a example of where I am coming from, I was walking on the beach today and saw a group of 200 Baptists holding baptism ceremonies in the Pacific Ocean. They had a banner declaring there church and denomination. The only problem was, this beach also happens to be a state park where a lot of commies and their kids come to enjoy the Pacific free from religion. I would bet that if Monkspider had been there, he would have charged the Baptists, waving his red flag, shouting for the Baptists to leave because they were polluting his religion-free, state-park space.

Get the picture? Who is intollerant. Who is denying whom freedom of religion. Who is the bigot?

I wouldn't be that monkspider would do it. to do so would not only be presumptuous--i don't know him well enough to say that.

you're right. at the same time, many of those southern baptists want to force religion down the throats of every little child who may or may not be going to hell, depending on whether they are baptist or not. so there are people on both sides who are intolerant. is that what you're looking for? news flash, ned, it's been obvious to many for years.

@ this thread.

I happen to pretty much agree with Che's list of reforms to the electoral process (though I just skimmed them), by the way. Well, that's my one agreement with Che this month

Why should we do anything, from the point of the majority of Americans, everything is being done as correctly as can be. If you want something to change, change that joke of an institution called the Divided Nations.

[child of Thor]

It all seems to be boiling down to a THEM and US situation.
If your a THEM, then the future is looking pretty bleak right now.
If your an US(coincidence ), then you've pretty much deluded yourselves into thinking life et all is nothing more than a civ game, with winners and losers.
The sad part is this kind of polarisation only breeds losers, and i dont think any political reform at any level will actually resolve the issue in a peaceable way.
As someone said its rapidly becoming not the realm of the politician, but the people to decide what kind of world do we want to live in.
Its quite exciting in a destructive kinda way.....IMHO.
Im getting ready

monkspider: Bush has a majority popular support right now. Are you saying that, despite the wish of the majority, we should institute YOUR policies?

Convince the majority of Americans that you are correct, and we'll do it

You are making the same claim as religious zealots do - just take it on faith.

[chequita guevara]

You're silly, Neddie.

[Kuciwalker]

No he isn't. He's hit the nail right on the head.

I wish legislators would save us from dumb commie kids doing inane poly threads.

If you hate Bush, get out the vote and get someone else.

Legislators.
