Connieach,
sorry for taking so long to get back to ya, ive been very busy.........and some where along the way I located one of those 7 shot l-frame 686's, and couldnt resist.
"harry browne, will eliminate all unconstitutional laws", that paraphrase's how you say he's going to lead. Its wonderful rhetoric, and ive no doubt that is his intent---once again how will that be done?
Do to the seperation of the different governing bodies of our government the prez cant order the supreme ct., to look at any case and decide if its constitutional, and that is their legal responsibility. The only possible way is once again for a president to threaten the supreme ct in order to get his way with packing the supreme ct(fdr used this I believe, and started us on this road were on), in this case Harry wont have any support by the congress and there not required to pass his choices, they can post pone them for ever until he's out of office---which in effect neutralizes him...period.
Now as far as will a "congresscritter", defy a president leading with the constitution in one hand and a rail in the other.........its rule by committe in our govt and yes they can and will and do tell him to piss up a rope.......they are not obligated to follow the president-----and as far as us citizens demanding a rail ride, we are so far removed from that possibility its ludicrous. Heck we cant even agree on taxes being lowered. Dont forget the media is not going to be Harrys friend either and the media controls the message getting to the american people........
BTW, did ya'll know that Harry Brownne lives in my town? (just found this out late last week).......Ive yet to meet him, and those I know who have wont vote for him, almost to a person almost all my friends are rabid rkba people, those that arent rabid are still rkba people, and so far I find very few who even entertain the idea of Mr Brownne as a canidate, they are also very unhappy with the republicans as well, but refuse to give the democrats a win.
I guess the bottom line for me is that this guy cant win, he never has won, I know of one person, someone in tx who one by running as a republican?(sounds like a plan),so they have still been unable to convince the american people in electable numbers that they can be effective. Do ya'll consider the "reform party", your party as well?....I dont believe they are but I think I know why there minimally effective.....money......yep, they are financed.... and I dont believe Harry browne has serious financing of any kind, like it or not that is what it takes..........
I dont think im your enemy or your mine, I do think we will work toward similar goals in different ways, this belief that Harry Browne has some kinda of magic wan he waves if (big if), he ever gets elected to anything, let alone the presidency, and all things are suddenly made right is a fantasy.
But thats why America is such a wonderful experiment, we have the right to tilt at windmills...........(at least until the anti-windmill crowd contols the media and through extension the people.....).......later fubsy.
