Republican Senatorial candidate Ken Buck with this ad:
10/1/10 Update:
Now, you must be a “friend” or the tyrannical Dims
will not even allow you to watch their ad!
Here are a few inconvenient truths the Dims would prefer voters not know:
1) Even the Huffington Post admits that Ken Buck toyed with this idea for all of ONE DAY!
2) The idea which Ken Buck toyed with -- FOR ONE DAY -- was the law of the land from 1789 (the year the United States Constitution was ratified) through 1913. See Article 1, Section 3, Clauses 1 and 2 for the original Constitutional means of selecting United States Senators.
3) The current method for electing United States Senators was adopted with the 1913 ratification of the Seventeenth Amendment -- during the Presidency of Woodrow Wilson (a so-called “Progressive”) who, like all so-called “Progressives”, really truly had a complete disdain for the United States Constitution.
How’s THAT for irony? Watch that Dim attack ad again!
4) The Seventeenth Amendment was a creation of so-called “Progressive reformers”. Is it any wonder that today’s so-called “Progressives” treat the Seventeenth Amendment as though it was sacrosanct and beyond debate?
Remember, the very next amendment created by so-called “Progressive reformers” was the Eighteenth Amendment (Prohibition, ratified in 1919). Was it blasphemy to repeal that amendment?
5) One could easily argue the merits of the original Constitution vs. what we now have under the Seventeenth Amendment. In fact, there is just such a discussion in the associated Wikipedia article (which, predictably, sides with the so-called “Progressives”).
6) What is unquestionable is that the Seventeenth Amendment took us a large step closer to the European Social Democracy disaster now at or near the brink of collapse all over Europe. It also took us one giant step further away from the original Constitutional Republic envisioned by our quite brilliant founding fathers.
Conclusions:
I’m not arguing for or against the repeal of the Seventeenth Amendment. There are reasonable arguments both ways. I AM arguing that all Americans should study the issue rather than blindly reacting to appeals to ignorance from the Dims at the DSCC.
I am also arguing that we desperately need to replace Obama’s yes man (Senator Michael Bennet) with the FAR more responsible, FAR more reasonable and FAR more thoughtful Ken Buck!
I am also imploring all thoughtful, educated voters all across America to refuse to take the utterly dishonest attack ads of the desperate Dims at face value. The Dims cannot run on their “achievements”. They know damn well that the majority of Americans HATE virtually EVERYTHING this Congress has done. The Dims can ONLY attempt to FALSELY label their Conservative opponents as “too extreme” and hope that American voters are ignorant enough to fall for their lies and deceptions. DON’T!
(including a powerful argument for repeal).
