“Step back and think for a minute before rushing and panicking” is the
message coming from Texas Congressman Ron Paul who has warned that the
swine flu scare will once again be used as a precedent for big
government intrusion.
 “This is not to downplay the seriousness of it. Some people have died,
some people might die, yet we’ve had no deaths in this country, there’s
seven or eight cases up in New York, but none have even been
hospitalised and yet it’s practically like we’ve been attacked by
nuclear weapons.”

The Congressman put the current panic in perspective by pointing out
that last year alone there were 13,000 cases of tuberculosis with the
number of annual deaths last recorded in the hundreds.

I'm not a ron paul follower, but I do have to agree with this notion.  I
do believe the democrats are grasping for every bit of power in every
corner they can find.  What you are witnessing now is a takeover of the
U.S. by a bunch of socialists disguised by claiming to be democrats.  
They are doing a very good job of fooling the voters, so far.

Right.  You are just pissed off dubya, cheney, and the crazed neo-cons
couldn't complete the right wing coup. You just love authoritarian
rulers who control every aspect of society.  Thank the gods there is a
2 term limit on the office of president.

I am happy for you.  I hope your kids and grandkids have good jobs and
pay, pay, pay the taxes.  They will have a good time of it.  We will
need their help.  Work hard and be happy in your work.  Cheers

Hopefully, with Obama it will be one term...

I often wonder if Ed was born that stupid or it's a learned behaviour?

I'd like to see it be less than that, but with the backing of his democrat
butt buddies that will never happen.

It works both ways. That two term limit works against the country when
you have a very good president like Clinton or Obama. Stop and think
about what would not have happened if Clinton had had a third and fourth
term. No 9/11 attack, no war in Iraq, no economic melt-down. OTOH, you
can have a very bad president in terms of policy that's very popular
personally, such as Reagan, who can get re-elected over and over again.

The 22nd amendment was put into place after FDR's 4 terms, but FDR was
one of the best presidents in history.

W wouldn't have won a third term anyway.
