Election 2024 Foreplay

[TreeFrogTrader]

Be careful Demtards. You are not all that smart.

Your "thought leaders" over at the DNC and in the Beltway have told you that abortion is your ticket to re-election and you are lapping it right up.

Just keep in mind what I repeat every four months or so which is that gas prices are at the epicenter of the American psyche. If gas prices are moderate going into the election, then others issues prevail. If not, you be having problems.

The whole thing is bullshit anyway.

The U.S. Constitution defines who is eligible to be president, and by extension, defines what criteria can be brought into the mix as a requirement to be on a ballot. Thus the requirement to have a VP selection, or that the person has released their tax returns, etc. etc, are all bullshit.

As you would say "this is why you have lawyers." To get that requirement set aside, if needed. Maybe it is easier to just go out get signatures again. His campaign, not mine. But that VP selection thing is constitutionally bullshit. So what happens if a candidate switches out their VP pick along the way. Then what? You are stuck with the one that had the signatures. C'mon man. If I am running for President. it is none of your goddam business who my VP will be until I decide to tell you. You cannot use the state ballot requirements to flush that out, and thus deprive me of my right to run for a national position and be on the ballot just because I have not revealed that.

Probably his party- whatever that is- can require it as a condition of being allowed to be that party's nominee but that is another matter. That would be an internal party matter rather than something a state pulled out of their arse.

I kind of disagree with this. The VP is a constitutional officer of the executive branch and should be subjected not be allowed to switched or announced Willy nilly. Biden is actually dealing with some ballot issues in Ohio right now himself.

Just follow the Constitution. You and others of your persuasion have a boner in recent years for messing with the presidential election by messing with state ballots.

There are more angles to this than I want to argue in posts. But in general you have to keep in mind that the VP is a constitutional officer once he becomes VP. To make that statement carries no weight about state ballots. You may be talking about a different procedure that you would like or would "correct" the constitution but that is another matter.

What you have said about "switching or announcing willy nilly" sounds fluffy but is neither here nor there. The controlling factor is what the constitution allows. In fact, the constitution even allows a party to switch out the presidential nominee as well. ie. the state ballots may confirm the election (selection) of a candidate and that person goes into the convention as the presumptive nominee. But said candidate is nevertheless not confirmed at the convention (could be either the prez or vp) and the college electors choose someone else- either because the convention chose another person or because the electors want someone other than the one they settled upon. This is not for the states to settle by wiring everything in at the primary level ballot and voting. You may not like it and may not like where the Founders ended out on that issue, but is not in and of itself a constitutional argument unless you are a graduate of the Barry Obama School of Law.

Obama promised to change the USA. He did it. Are you happy?

I missed this whole back and forward... but let me say.... you made two unforgivable faux-pa's here.

ONE you said "HE"..... and two.... your Neanderthal thinking of using "HE" in a sentence no less.... as applied to the job of VP, pretty much violates not only the current rules of proper pronoun use, but your (barbaric) implied assumption that only the masculine verbiage applies when referring to the VP position. That's beyond barbaric.

10 Hail Mary's, and 32 Our Fathers.

I have seen no evidence yet that a woman can successfully be Vice President.

And all comedy aside... next time you pen your opinion.... bear in mind that facts don't matter. It's the words you write, and whose feelings they hurt---> THAT'S what matters. And imo, you have committed the most egregious of unforgivable sins.

So in my great benevolence I'll keep the "Our Fathers" flat.... but I now want 18 "Hail Marys"... in addition to 8 streets and 2 hours of ballot harvesting in the suburbs of Philadelphia.

Shouldn't that be "Our Birthing Person's?"

And the part about "Thy Kingdom come, thy will by done ... well.... that sounds kind of colonial to me.

C'mon man.
