Republicans mount shock comeback, erase Democrats’ edge in eyes of Americans

One cannot separate our government from our nation and its people
The tyrants have done that themselves.
..... after our the USA is a nation which has a government of the people, by the people and for the people.
The use of past tense is appropriate. This people no longer has that sort of government.
 
You're mistaken. America is governed by the federal government, not the people.
It is no longer a federal government. It is a national government that rules against the will of its people.

We must win the Article V fight or perish.
 
Never get tired of posting the truth and asking an Obamabot a question that millions would like to have answered. You are fixated on an ideology that is a failure yet continue to promote it, why?

What is it about the ideology that you perceive a failure?Would it be the ideology that wants to provide healthcare for the 45000 people that die in our country each year do the the lack of proper healthcare that you consider a failure?If so, what is the small r,s answer for the problem?:2wave:

The ideology that believes it is the government's responsibility to take over personal responsibility issues and a federal govt. that tells a private citizen what they have to buy. That ideology. Freedom of choice to a liberal only seems to mean support for liberal programs like abortion and same sex marriage, never the choice to succeed or choose not to buy healthcare insurance.

Liberalism is all about spending in the name of compassion yet I have yet to have a liberal explain to me what is compassionate about govt. dependence and a 17 trillion dollar debt?
 
We, the people are responsible for it. We do not like this tyranny and we do not like this tyrant. Both must be undone. The five who decided this were irresponsible and unlawful. I dearly hope they get a chance to regret their actions.

And your plan is what exactly to make them regret it?

And they have absolutely nothing to show for all this compassion and in fact there seems to be less of it around then there was just a couple of decades ago. Only recently has it been claimed that raising taxes was a sign of compassion.

Previous governments would never have gotten away with a silly excuse like that.

I think a public hanging is appropriate. If not then the rest of their lives in a windowless 8x10 cell.

I am beginning to understand the French Revolution now.

I will settle for winning the Article V fight and getting rid of them.

What exactly is the Article V fight?
 
What exactly is the Article V fight?

The Congress, whenever two thirds of both houses shall deem it necessary, shall propose amendments to this Constitution,or, on the application of the legislatures of two thirds of the several states, shall call a convention for proposing amendments,which, in either case, shall be valid to all intents and purposes, as part of this Constitution, when ratified by the legislatures of three fourths of the several states, or by conventions in three fourths thereof, as the one or the other mode of ratification may be proposed by the Congress; provided that no amendment which may be made prior to the year one thousand eight hundred and eight shall in any manner affect the first and fourth clauses in the ninth section of the first article; and that no state, without its consent, shall be deprived of its equal suffrage in the Senate.​

The Article V fight is one last push to get the state legislatures to bypass the national government to restore the nation to its Constitutional heritage.

Thank you. Yes, I am aware what Article V is. I was not aware of any real effort to employ it at this time. Could you link or describe any of these ongoing efforts?

There is a Mount Vernon meeting on December 7th. All over the nation people are calling upon their state legislatures to petition the Congress to appoint a date. Some people believe this fight could take decades. I am not so sure. It could happen very quickly.

Here is one coordinating web site.
