There is absolutely no way that a convention would produce conservative amendments. The Dems and RINOs would do what they do now: gang up on conservatives and shove a pile down our throat.

If conservatives bring about a convention, they’ll end up with every liberal wet dream being enshrined in the New Constitution.

The result will be civil war.

If you have any doubt, consider this: Texas is one of the most conservative States in the union. That said, Speaker Joe Staus rules with a coalition of democrats and moderates.

HE would send delegates to the convention and they won’t be conservative.

He would marshal the votes to ensure passage of the Liberal (not liberty) Amendments

If we can’t depend on Texas (and so long as Straus is Speaker, we can’t), then what State can we depend upon?

The idea that conservatives are going to take over a convention is a pipe dream. The reality is that the “conservatives” sent to such a convention are going to look remarkably like Boehner and McConnell, if not McCain and Lindsay.

An Art V convention, here and now, is the spark that will start a war.

Considering you responded to the title, and not the substance of my post, I have nothing more to say.
