Well I thought I'd seen and heard it all but apparently House Minority Whip Steny Hoyer (D-MD) is defending a push to end presidential term limits and has INTRODUCED AN AMENDMENT which would repeal the 22 Amendment that places limits on the number of terms the president can serve. However according to him, none of us have to worry about it because if it passed it would become effective until after 2008. One problem with this amendment, and there are many, is that it wouldn't preclude Bush from running again in the future.
This is the kind of head-up-your-ass-bullshit I would expect from a republican not a democrat.
This also means that if we got a Bush clone in office in 2008 (such as Frist) we might NEVER get rid of the bastard, which in turn means he could potentially pick all the Supreme court justices for years. In essence we could get an extention of Bush politiking for an unlimited number of years into the future!
I could understand him introducing this amendment if a popular democratic president were in office (though I would still be vehemently against it) but now, at a time when Republican power is arguably at its apex !?! Is this guy for real?
For the life of me I can't imagine what Hoyer is up to but I think all the KOS slueths should start takeing a very close look at him. Read it and weep.
