An election for President and Commander in Chief of the Military must strive to be above reproach. Our public institutions must give the public confidence that a presidential candidate has complied with the election process that is prescribed by our Constitution and laws. It is only after a presidential candidate satisfies the rules of such a process that he/she can expect members of the public, regardless of their party affiliations, to give him/her the respect that the Office of President so much deserves.
A lot of these new politicians are already acting like they are old pro's! Buerkle & Kinzinger both missed their FIRST recorded vote as members of congress! I wish I got paid to not do my job!! http://clerk.house.gov/evs/2011/roll003.xml
ReplyDeleteI figured they would eventually turn their backs on the American people -- didn't see it coming so fast though
Easy does it anon, they weren't sworn in yet. They were at least vetted and are citizens meeting the constitutional requirements to hold office. It remains to be seen whether their oaths are upheld though. They have a complex task ahead and the outcome will determine whether you, your kids and all of posterity will live under the rule of law in this constitutional republic or they will live by decree of the ruling class.
