The 112th Congress - The first Orange-American to be elected Speaker

I'm cool with keeping Wyoming as a sort of Free Market Theme Park. Also, the west brings something to the table: beautiful scenery. The south brings nothing but beautiful women, who we'll get after secession anyway since they follow the money, and they're not going to want to stay in the Caliphate.

Unless they are enslaved, in which case there'd be a need for another underground railroad (they're more than welcome to use my place to escape from the tyrannical southerners).

This actually isn't coming from the South (at least initially) - it's the mormons and the dozen people who actually live in Wyoming.

Just abolish the Constitution and go back to the Articles of Confederation.

You joke, but.

Today, the best legitimate solution to Washington tyranny is the right of nullification as presented so well in Tom Woods’ new book, Nullification. But should this fail, there is another alternative, secession from the Washington Empire and the restoration of state sovereignty and a limited, debt-free central government under America’s first government established by our founding fathers, The Articles of Confederation.

It won't mean dick unless states have the right to print their own money (which is probably the next GOP amendment).

Give them credit: this actually is stupider than flag burning. They never disappoint.

Just kick out the South. Please. Imagine not having to carry that dead weight. Heck, the Czechs and Slovaks split up, and they have a lot more in common than us and Jesusland.

Or when Prince Harry visits this summer ask if we can rejoin England's empire - as long as people can still keep their guns. As part of the militia, you know

So the GOP is going to introduce a Constitutional Amendment that allows states to ignore federal laws. Pretty sure we fought a war about this. They lost. It's time to move on.

Oh, those Pauls.

“With regard to the idea whether or not you have a right to health care you have to realize what that implies. I am a physician. You have a right to come to my house and conscript me. It means you believe in slavery. You are going to enslave not only me but the janitor at my hospital, the person who cleans my office, the assistants, the nurses. … You are basically saying you believe in slavery,” said Paul (R-Ky.), who is an ophthalmologist.

Not that I'm disagreeing with you per se, but what happens when the Federal Government ignores Federal laws??

Congress and the White House are exempt from the federal laws they pass (go figure) but federal departments have to follow them. I'm sure you can list several examples where they aren't though.

Meh. Snowe will swat that guy like a fly.

Re: the story - it wouldn't be the first time Snowe and McKernan have screwed over Mainers. Folks who were familiar with Hathaway in Waterville will know what I'm talking about.

Left alone she might have decided to hang it up and not run in 2012. Now there's no way she's going to risk this little worm getting her seat.

They're coming after Olympia already.

Maine Republican Senate candidate Scott D’Amboise, who is challenging sitting Republican Sen. Olympia Snowe in the upcoming 2012 primary, called on Snowe to resign from her seat immediately.

D’Amboise issued a statement Tuesday morning calling on Snowe to resign after the U.S. Department of Justice joined a lawsuit against Education Management Corporation (EDMC), a company that has employed her husband, former Maine Gov. John McKernan, for the past 12 years. The suit alleges that EDMC had defrauded the government of financial aid funding.*

D’Amboise said Snowe has “directly benefited” from her husband’s financial activity, which he describes as, “defrauding of taxpayers, pocketing millions of dollars – millions of our hard earned tax dollars.” D’Amboise also said Snowe “became a millionaire with our money.”

“Olympia Snowe owes us two things – an explanation and a letter of resignation. Instead, she is in holed up in her ornate Washington, D.C. office refusing to explain what she knew and when she knew it,” D’Amboise said in his statement. “How can your spouse bring in millions of dollars without asking him how he was making all that money? Olympia is a smart lady. She had to know something was fishy about how her husband was doing business.”

D’Amboise, who considers himself a representative of the Tea Party movement, announced his official candidacy to challenge Snowe in the 2012 GOP primary in February 2010.
