Are you sure we can fill 535 seats of Congress with God-fearing, Constitutionally-minded patriots in our day and age? Someone needs to call the Constitution Party Chairman.

God-fearing people. We're scared to death.

Don't worry about it. You can vote them out of office. And Ron Paul is a God-fearing person, remember. Did you forget?

Im cautiously optimistic about us making a dent in 2010.

Seems as thought we're shooting for the 435 house seats only right now... senate seats are only up every 6 years...

I'd rather have 1 seat in the Senate than 20 in the House.

1) it means we won a state, which means we could win it in a Presidential primary.

2) 1 Senator can filibuster. One of my dreams is to actually beat Strom Thurmond's 24 hours and 18 minutes record.

Shouldn't be too hard to beat Strom's record-just get a bigger phone book to read from and speak even slower. ;)

Compared to 308 MILLION, 535 is miniscule and submicroscopic. :p :rolleyes: 0.0001737012987012987012987012987013%

Why would I do that when I can read from Hayek's "Road to Serfdom," Mises's "Human Action," or a myriad of other books.

I would give a teaching in economics. I would start by reading to them, Economics in One Lesson by Henry Hazlitt (1946)

I would then read them Essay on the Nature of Commerce in General by Richard Cantillon (1732)

After that:
A Treatise on Political Economy by Jean-Baptiste Say (1803)

All of Frederic Bastiat's translated writings

Principles of Economics by Carl Menger (1871)

Capital and Interest by Eugen von Bohm-Bawerk (1884)

Human Action by Ludwig von Mises (1949)

Man, Economy, and State by Murray N. Rothbard (1962)

That should provide a sufficient reeducation!

We don't need clones lol. We just need people who respect and value the constitution and thus respect other peoples beliefs whether they be scientologist, christian, or rastafarian. God-fearing doesn't matter, its possible to be a humble person who values freedom without the belief of God. Personally I can't stand being singled out with implications that I have less morals because I'm atheist. I know that wasn't the intention and I'm not trying to start an arguement just have some respect. Damn.

A.E.I.O.U.

All, EVERY, Incumbent Out...Unanimously

If Obama will not be removed from office before the end of his term, I believe it would be easier and ultimately better to bang the drum for the removal of every single one of them who is up for re-election. THAT will put the fear of God in the Freshmen.

Keep It Simple, Stupid type of an attitude. I sense it would not be difficult at all to whip the masses into a fervor for wholesale Ejection Button. The gratification of a mass lynching, without the violence. 'Cuz we're such peaceniks.

I'm not a god fearing man. Would this mean I cannot fill a congressional seat if I would like? Well at least by your standards, even though I'd be in full support of limiting government at every turn.

How about also running for the 3000 sheriff positions in the US, which can practically do far more good than being another lonely congressman? At least winning the local offices first can give us the background as an elected official to then more credibly run for Congress or Senate.
