1. They will never do that....

because that would open the door for Big Dawg to come back. And he would...
Duckie

[David Dunham]

2. We should support this. Bill Clinton could win in 2008, not Hillary.

[HillDem]

7. Bubba will rise again

I support it

[SammyWinstonJack]

9. I could live with that!

:bounce:

[Aviation Pro]

3. February 17th 2005?

eom

[karlrschneider]

4. From a year ago, apparently never got out of committee

[bottomofthehill]

11. Mostly Democrats

There is only on Republican co-sponsor of the bill, the rest are Democrats.

LET THE BIG DOG RUN AGAIN

[rpgamerd00d]

18. Ahh, saw Sensenbrenner and didnt recognize the rest on sight

[LittleClarkie]

24. Once again, I would like to apologize for my Representative

and encourage those he makes nuts to donate to www.bryankennedy.com

[wndycty]

5. Yeah abolish the 22nd Amendment and see what happens. . .

Bill Clinton in '08!

[serryjw]

6. It's been around for a year

As crazy as it sounds; BOTH parties what to repeal the 22nd. It could NEVER happen BEFORE 2008 and I truly don't think Bushit wants to stay anyway.

[SammyWinstonJack]

8. Good! President Clinton forever!

:evilgrin: Dumbasses! :rofl:

[Vinca]

10. Is Bush considered "elected" in 2000?

If not . . . well, it's too scary to think about.

[DemInDistress]

12. sure bubba could trounce bush but could bill beat Deibold?

and all those other electronic voting machine...hm

[SammyWinstonJack]

15. Some claim that the only way Diebold can steal elections is because

we put up candidates that make it close enough to steal. Big Dawg would trounce that.

[DemInDistress]

20. are you sure? in the days where exit polls indicated a clear

winner and loser we come to witness exit polls as meaningless. I for 40 years now or as long as exit polls were used watched the winners long before the elections were over. Hey but WTF, these days one would seem to need three quarters of the vote to insure victory..I'm for bubba !! (in spite of his heavy hanging with Don
Poppolini Bush) lol..

[SammyWinstonJack]

25. I am willing to bet that Big Dawg would easily get three quarters of

the vote, that's how popular I believe he is. I'm all for letting him come back and fix the mess the repugs have gotten us into. He did it before, I bet he could do it again. Only this time it would be nice if he had control of Congress. :-)

[Innocent Smith]

13. Not gonna happen

Did you notice that it is almost one year old and it went nowhere?

[Perky]

14. HOYER INTRODUCED IT!!

That's is Stenny Hoyer..Dep Minority Leader alon with Sensenbreener a Republican.

The Bill is Bipartisan!!!

[Perky]

16. It would never get to 37 state approvals

so long as Bush is in office.

[Art_from_Ark]

27. Thirty-eight states, actually

But who's counting? :shrug:

[SammyBlue]

17. Three letters. D-----O-----A.

This will not last!

[BushOut06]

19. What about the Schwarzenegger Amendment?

You know, the one Orrin Hatch wants to pass so that foreign-born US citizens can become president. Maybe they're setting us up for Ah-nold to become dictator for life.

[Blue Belle]

21. Arnold would be lucky to get his party's nomination for Governor...

Last time I checked, his poll numbers were worse than W's.

[liberalhistorian]

23. And did you notice how

all of that talk about changing the rules to allow a foreign-born citizen to become president suddenly seemed to die off right after Ah-nold's initiatives were trounced back in November? I think they're getting the message.

[October]

22. Maybe it means he won't finish his term!

No guarantees in life -- even for the chimp.

[liberalpragmatist]

26. 22nd Amendment is stupid

Presidential term limits are silly. If you support a two-term limit, then you can't claim that FDR's third term was productive. You might say that "well, FDR was special" and "those were dangerous times," but who's to say we won't be in those kinds of times again? Do you think the country would have been better off if FDR didn't have a third and a fourth term? Was he wrong to seek them?

Besides, if we didn't have term limits, Bush would almost certainly have lost to Clinton in '00.
