If he doesn't start showing some substance at some point, the independents will start flocking to Hillary or a third party candidate... count on that.

Anybody who flocks to Hillary for her "substance" is probably too stupid to be allowed to vote.

In a week or so you are going to see the Democrats come out and it will be 4 or 5 days of continuous bashing of Trump and why we need to be afraid of Trump.... and they will make a million promises to people that they can't/won't ever keep.... they will have "plans of substance" to fix all peoples problems without those people really having to actually do anything, just sit back and let the government fix your problems... It's a powerful message to those gullible enough to believe it... of course many of them have believed it since Jimmy Carter and haven't seen it happen yet... but next time, I'm sure next time they are actually going to fix my problems.

Other than a couple of ideas that i could tolerate, no wonder conservatives seem to lose more support every election cycle. the hell is this?

GOP repeats calls for new constitutional amendments

We support a human life amendment to the Constitution and legislation to make clear that the Fourteenth Amendment’s protections apply to children before birth,' the proposal reads.

The Republicans also condemn the Supreme Court’s controversial Kelo decision (which permits the government to seize private property and transfer it to another private interest in order to promote economic development) and call for states to pass laws or state constitutional amendments to nullify or restrict the decision within their states.

Moreover, the Republicans repeat their demands for a balanced-budget amendment that 'imposes a cap limiting spending to the appropriate historical average percentage of our nation’s gross domestic product while requiring a super-majority for any tax increase, with exceptions only for war or legitimate emergencies.'

Another theme from earlier Republican conventions is a call for term limits for members of Congress.

Perhaps the most-publicized part of the platform deals with the same-sex marriage controversy, including the Supreme Court’s Windsor and Obergefell decisions.

6. Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA). The liberal firebrand from Harvard, whose claims to Native American ancestry have never been authenticated, contributed several recipes to a cookbook called Pow Wow Chow in the 1980s. In 2012, it emerged that several of those recipes appeared to have been stolen from the New York Times — and were French, not Native American.

Lets see what they're proposing ...



Which is kind of funny, because there are a lot of parallels between slavery and abortion. The arguments to keep it are the same kind of things you would of heard about keeping slavery back in the day: "They're not 'real' citizens", "The Supreme Court said it was okay", "People will do it anyway", "government should butt out of private affairs", etc, etc. Eventually it took Republicans passing an Amendment to abolish slavery.



I would think you of all people would be for an amendment like this. Unless you're cool with the government seizing private property and giving it to someone else?



A balanced budget amendment. How awful!!



We have term limits for Presidents, but Senators can stay in office for 50 years? What's worse is that it's these career politicians that create the whole "system" where the status quo is maintained at all costs. New ideas and thinkers are immediately squashed and unless you play the game, you're quickly on the outside looking in. There's a reason Congress has something like a 10% approval rating ...



This is probably the only questionable one I'm seeing. I don't really think this should or even could pass, but if you don't agree with a Supreme Court ruling, an amendment is how you go about by-passing that.

From the last thread, about 10 plagiarizing Democrats:



This is hilarious. The fake Native American had fake (and stolen) Native American recipes.

This is probably the only questionable one I'm seeing. I don't really think this should or even could pass, but if you don't agree with a Supreme Court ruling, an amendment is how you go about trying to by-passing that.

i did use logic.

we don't have the same ideology dude. you think this is fine for your ideology.

i do not for mine.

GOP repeats calls for new constitutional amendments

https://www.yahoo.com/news/gop-repeats-calls-constitutional-amendments-100419868.html

The Republican Party’s official 2016 platform is out, and there are some familiar calls for new constitutional amendments among the rhetoric.

Much like the 2012 GOP platform, the 66-page document has plenty of references to the Constitution writ large, even boasting its own Preamble.

The new platform also contains a commitment to an originalist interpretation of the Constitution, complete with a few quotes from the late Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia. “In tandem with a Republican Senate, a new Republican president will restore to the Court a strong conservative majority that will follow the text and original meaning of the Constitution and our laws,” the platform reads.

But what issues are so immediately critical as to require the historically important act of drafting, proposing and ratifying new amendments to the Constitution?

The first proposed amendment in the 2016 Republican Party platform is a “right to life” amendment, similar to ideas presented at recent GOP conventions.

“We assert the sanctity of human life and affirm that the unborn child has a fundamental right to life which cannot be infringed. We support a human life amendment to the Constitution and legislation to make clear that the Fourteenth Amendment’s protections apply to children before birth,” the proposal reads.

The Republicans also condemn the Supreme Court’s controversial Kelo decision (which permits the government to seize private property and transfer it to another private interest in order to promote economic development) and call for states to pass laws or state constitutional amendments to nullify or restrict the decision within their states.

Moreover, the Republicans repeat their demands for a balanced-budget amendment that “imposes a cap limiting spending to the appropriate historical average percentage of our nation’s gross domestic product while requiring a super-majority for any tax increase, with exceptions only for war or legitimate emergencies.”

Another theme from earlier Republican conventions is a call for term limits for members of Congress. But the Party opposes any amendment that would establish statehood for the District of Columbia.

Perhaps the most-publicized part of the platform deals with the same-sex marriage controversy, including the Supreme Court’s Windsor and Obergefell decisions.

“In Obergefell, five unelected lawyers robbed 320 million Americans of their legitimate constitutional authority to define marriage as the union of one man and one woman. The Court twisted the meaning of the Fourteenth Amendment beyond recognition. To echo Scalia, we dissent,” the platform says.

“We do not accept the Supreme Court’s redefinition of marriage and we urge its reversal, whether through judicial reconsideration or a constitutional amendment returning control over marriage to the states,” the platform reads.

In comparison, the 2012 Republican Party platform asked for a federal amendment “defining marriage as the union of one man and one woman.”

The 2016 GOP platform also asks for a constitutional amendment protecting the ability of parents to direct their children’s education and care without “interference by states, the federal government, or international bodies such as the United Nations.”

we're talking voters bro. not government.

???

maybe i'm not being clear here. the number of conservative voters is declining.

Which is why there is a majority conservative house, senate, governorship's, and state legislatures?

[quote=ErikInHell] yes. same reason why there is a liberal president.

who got voted in twice over a conservative. because historically, liberals typically show up in the general election.

ok. for you to call other people morons, this sure was a stupid post.

seeing as you couldn't actual refute anything i said, the fact that you went on a rant calling people morons is quite hilarious.

because of course you can't. what i said is rooted in fact.

but i get it. Morons, something something liberal....agenda this and that blah blah blah

you do understand that what you posted can be applied to you as well, correct?

everybody thinks they are informed voters, and everybody else are morons. we get it. you must be the smart one, right?

The problem is Swish, just because you have the total numbers, that doesn't reflect who is actually voting. The Dems never show up during mid term elections. They stay home.

So no matter what the numbers show, they have to go to the polls to vote for their beliefs to hold any weight.

http://www.gallup.com/poll/180452/liberals-record-trail-conservatives.aspx

40% in 2010, to 38% now.

liberals went up. the gap is closing. also, there are other websites going into the trends of voters and such.

but i posted the gallup that way you couldnt claim "liberal agenda lololololol"

as far as the rest of your post. i mentioned liberals show up more in the general, and then you go, "morons show up"

i simply put two and two together. maybe you should be clearer in your post.

Just because people don't vote or believe like you do doesn't make them morons.

After reading your additional post you cleared that up.

BTW: States set the curriculum for public schools and books, not teachers.

it's not bogus at all.

you guys got a slight little boost after the "obama birther movement", dropped back down, and now the numbers of liberals is rising.

it's cool bro, don't worry about it.

edit: my bad Erik.

http://www.gallup.com/poll/188129/conservatives-hang-ideology-lead-thread.aspx

thats the newest one. you guys dropped another percent.
