If your candidate suggested relinquishing lands to aboriginals, would you still support him/her?

There has been talk recently of treaty violations and the dismissal of such treaties.

If your candidate made an effort to remedy the actions of the original European and Spanish invaders to this land now known as america, what would you feel or do?

1. I wouldn't vote for the crackpot.

Nor would anyone else with a deed to their own home.

2. good point! I'm in your shoes...

but in today's and tomorrow's economies, the renters really wouldn't give a shit to who they were paying taxes or rent to as long as it was the same or cheaper price than down the road.

3. When you play cards and lose, do they give you your money back?

And you expect us to hand back half a continent? Is everyone insane tonight?

[Dawggie]

4. aquart, this is/was a purely hypothetical thought/question

I can't speak for everyone, but I certainly am!

5. So you waste time and then won't discuss the issue you raise.

6. Probably, especially if it was only a "suggestion", and discussion of "remedies"

The recognition that a remedy is needed would be a good sign. A simplistic "give it back and screw whoever's living on it now" would be a very bad sign, but that would be completely antithetical to my candidate's core approach as he's expressed it until now, so not likely to happen.
