"The Constitution is just a piece of paper" - G.W. Bush

Go to 'factcheckdotorg' and see that this bush 'quote' is bogus.

Didn't you sign the front of your social security card? Sign paper work to get a bank account, ask the state permission to drive by getting a drivers license? Then yes, you are in a legal binding contract and are under the "authority" of all statues, codes, ordinances ect. The Government gives or allows us to have civil rights that they can take away anytime they want!

Politicians do not make compromises and they do not change their platforms, they lie, make promises they do not keep. They all lie-Bush, Clinton, Obama ect ect!

No, not end of discussion, this is a republic. If it was a straight up "democracy" built purely on majority rule, there is nothing to prevent a majority of people voting yes on taking the minority's money, thus creating a steady slide into socialism. Read any of the founding father's writings and you'll see they were violently opposed to such an idea.

Not to mention the very practical reasons for why this is national suicide!! There're better ways to deal with healthcare, esp by lowering costs.

It is both a constitutional republic and a representative democracy. National suicide? Yes that's what we're doing alright, but not because of socialism. It's the unregulated, predatory capitalism that's destroying us. And we will never be "lowering costs" in health care as long as we have a for-profit health insurance racket system run by a bunch of price gouging gangsters.

Our "magnificent constitution" is what got us in this mess in the first place.

Providing the false sense of security that politicians won't just do whatever the fuck they want.

There's no amendment to provide free food to people either. Which I should think would be more important...

Exactly, charity cannot be mandatory. Volunteer charity (is there really any other kind?) is more efficient than any government program.

then kill every member of congress who supports medicare

then if the majority wishes to end gay marriage you should allow them to do so. also more people strongly oppose the democrat healthcare plan than strongly support. basically your statement is silly as you ignore the tenth amendment
