To do that, they'd need 34 states on board and then 38 to pass the amendments.<br /><br />So they need 38 state governments in their pockets, and then they can take great huge whacks at the Constitution - I mean, restore it to its former glory. Is that at all doable?Joseph Nobleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15883621501775664191noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3856837.post-67025191914564453972013-08-17T18:58:11.903-04:002013-08-17T18:58:11.903-04:00Well sure, they absolutely would do away with the ...Well sure, they absolutely would do away with the voter entirely, if they could. First they'd just like to do away with our (democratic) voters and then they'd just as son be shot of their own tea party and other wings. Those people are just a means to an end. <br /><br />So: they would do away with the primaries if they could go back to backroom dealing. But they can't because the one thing that pulls voters out of their houses for the general election is a feeling like they were heard during the primary.aimaihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03956073425680585780noreply@blogger.com
