Congressman Cosar: Either lead, follow, or get out of the way.

If Gosar feels that The Constitution cannot, or should not be upheld, then he should either step aside or be pushed aside!

"Your either with us, or against us".

Gosar should not have accepted his position in Congress the moment that he had to swear to defend and protect the Constitution.

Another critter who does not take his job seriously.

There have been numerous polls showing that the American people do not support the Bill of Rights for starters.

Very few people know anything about the constitution and do not understand it.

How many people have read it more than the once when forced to?

Americans clearly do not support the Constitution and haven’t for a long time.

Don’t shoot the messenger.

“You..ah...know that thing I said? Where I swore to preserve, protect and defend the Constitution? Well, never mind that. It’s a losing battle. Will I resign? Why would I do that? No, I like the benefits too much.” ~ if truth were required from Congress

"I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter: So help me God."

The SOB should resign immediately. It's irrelevant whether our dumbed-down electorate "supports" the Constitution or the Bill of Rights. The Constitution is the Supreme Law of the Land. Our representatives swear to support and defend it against all enemies.

What else matters?



Genuflectimus non ad principem sed ad Principem Pacis!

Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name. (Isaiah 49:1 KJV)

I’m not a fan of the “Bill of Rights” myself. I believe that all rights exist, except to violate the rights of any other; and that providing a “list” allows the week minded to believe their rights derive from the government.

“Ignorance is preferable to error and he is less remote from the truth who believes nothing than he who believes what is wrong.”
—Thomas Jefferson

No, I think that some initially good folks lose their spine and become invertebrates once they move to Mombasa-on-the-Potomac and start enjoying all the goodies that come with the overpaid job.

Their egoes are fed on steroids.

He is either a sunshine patriot or a liar when he said:
I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter: So help me God.

Rep. Gosar, it does not matter what you think. It doesn’t matter if it’s a losing battle. What matters is the oath you took. When you were sworn in, you swore to protect and defend the Constitution. If you are not doing that, then you need to resign immediately.

We need to be sure jackwagon Cosar’s name is right near the top of the “remove” list.

If you’re not man enough to fight for the Constitution, you are aiding and abetting the enemy by attempting to demoralize American citizens. You are not only failing at your job, you are a traitor to America and guilty of sedition.
