Forget suspending the constitution, why don’t they just wave a magic wand to create jobs?

"That should be grounds for immediate removal from office"

WHAT? Hell that's just an Illinoisistan politician. Turbin Durbin will probably be along in a bit to endorse JJJ's new Commie plot!

The apple didn't fall far from the tree, did it?

Although Jesse Jackson's demand that Obama 'suspend the constitution' to (supposedly) 'create jobs' (yeah, right) is moronic and would be shocking if it came from a member of congress that wasn't named 'Jesse Jackson, Junior. His 'demand' is a peek into the anti-constitutional, authoritarian mindset of leftists such as Jackson and should be instructive for independent voters and anyone who thinks Obama and the Democrats are patriotic Americans who simply have a slightly different view of how to 'fix' the U.S. economy. Hardly.

These people - leftists - look at authoritarian regimes around the world and salivate at the thought of emulating them, here, with guess who at the top of the heap. They see the U.S. constitution as an impediment to realizing their socialist utopia and would negate it in a heartbeat. Fortunately, America's founders knew such people would always be around and gave us as many protections from them as possible in the brilliant political document we cherish as our nations constitution.

Commie-wannabe clowns like Jesse Jackson, Junior can go pound sand..

The RATS will read the constitution on this issue like all other issues. The will read things that are not there and get their Obama, Clinton, and Carter appointed Federal Judges to agree with them.

He would need an army to enforce any measure of suspension.
From what I know the constitution was worded to avoid such action of government.

“So you know they’re talking about this at Dem central.”

These are ELECTED DEMOCRATS, calling for totalitarian measures, and the media doesn’t even make a big deal of it.

CAN YOU IMAGINE THE FAKED OUTRAGE had George Bush, or even the most MINOR of elected REPUBLICANS said something like this? We’d be treated to media orgy of hate, the likes of which we cannot even IMAGINE!

Time to wake up, folks...
If you think staying home in 2012 is even an option, no matter who the Repub Candidate is, you a dooming your own children.

JJJr has also suggested that the fedgov hire everyone who is unemployed for $40K. Which would immediately destroy the US economy as retail outlets and fast food and many other industries will be empty.

“He would need an army to enforce any measure of suspension.”

Would he?
Take a look a what’s going on in almost every major city, RIGHT NOW with the atroturfed Occupy Protests.

If the media decides it, it’ll be perceived as a “GOOD!” thing by the desperate sheeple.

History is rife with such examples, and we ignore them at our own peril.

JJJr’s last proposal would have crippled, no destroyed, the economy in less than a week.

It’s time to require that certain items be produced in America, it’s a no go to have them made elsewhere if Americans can’t buy them cause they have no jobs. Wake up fools. Some items are made to order job producers, which will employ certain workers. Made in China and scrapped here ain’t gonna work.

This is what p’s me off about leftists.

You can point out proposals like this to a sheeperal, and they’ll say “well, they didn’t get it done”, or “he’s only one of 535 congresspeople”.

No, that’s not the point. It’s that he’s a democrat, and that he WANTS TO DO THIS.

After Hillarycare failed, when you pointed out that the ‘rats wanted to socialize our medical system, the lefties’ excuse was “well, they didn’t get it done”. Now we have 0bamacare.
