The "criminalization of politics" argument that Starr makes is particularly valid since, in essence, that is what the Congress was admitting when they passed CFR.

The problem is that rather than punish themselves for being weak, immoral and unethical enough to avoid the temptation of corruption, the Congress transferred the blame to the voters. This is one of many fundamental flaws with McCain-Feingold.

The irony of this legislation is that the Congress admitted that it was corrupt by passing the law but refuses to actually do anything about it. This is similar to a drunk blaming the alcoholic beverage manufacturers for his problem, rather than accepting any personal responsibility.

Of course, we know that accepting responsibility for anything is anathema to the Congress. IMO, the Congress needs to be permanently adjourned until a new Continental Congress can eliminate all of the existing laws that dilute the Constitution and restore it as the framework of this nation's system of government.

In short, when a minority party like the Dems today, can hijack operations and circumvent the procedures documented in the Constitution, our system of government is broken and is in dire need of repair. We DO NOT need a major overhaul of the Constitution itself, but of the laws passed that dilute its framework; laws such as the 17th Amendment; laws that allow the court to make law from the bench; laws that allow the lifetime appointment of federal judges; laws that support depravity, pornography and corruption, but demonize Christianity; laws that support political correctness.

These are things that we have allowed to happen while the Congress went merrily along its way, creating an elite ruling class while we slept. Well, the wake-up call has been sounded and the time has come to take action to take back OUR country from those whose agenda is to destroy it and hand it over to the America-haters.
