Goillini, You got me wrong. I don't question the outcome under present law. I do want the law changed; I can't see why the popular vote is OK for every office in the land other than president. I understand the original intent. I just don't think it makes sense today. CB, I swear I never marshalled those forces, and I truly doubt you could either.

Here 'ya go LR; encouraging words for those still under quarantine. Sun is shining and wind blowing in AZ  William Gurnall, "The Christian in Complete Armour" Christ takes no more delight to dwell in a sad uncheerful heart, than we in a dark melancholy house. Open thy (shutters) therefore, and let in the light which sheds its beams upon thee from the promise. We do not entertain our friends in a dark room, or sit by those that visit us, mopish and melancholic, lest they should think we are weary of their company. Christ brings such good news with him, as may bespeak better welcome with thee than a dejected countenance and a disconsolate spirit. Blush then, and be ashamed, O ye drooping saints! that a few thin clouds of some short afflictions, coming over your heads, should so wrap you up in the darkness of your spirits, as that the hope of heaven, whither you look at last to come, should not be able, in a moment, to dispel and turn your sorrow into a ravishment of joy and comfort. Gurnall is great reading. I particularly like this quote ...... "Satan is not so unŽskillful a fowler as to go with one single shot into the field; and therefore expect him, as soon as he hath discharged one and missed thee, to let fly at thee with a second." Good stuff. SRH
May God bless America and those who defend her.

Fair enough.
I can't see why term limits are OK for President but not for Congress.
Nothing the government gives you is free.

Amen Bro. Stan. Since this thread was irrelevant and unintelligible from the start, maybe we can keep adding Gurnall stuff for LR until Dave deletes it We fear men so much, because we fear God so little. One fear cures another.

Sure it makes sense Bill, in a hypocritical way. Weren't you the all politics, all the time fellow that said Montana would always have the same number of Senators as kali? Now that's not fair, is it?

Goillini, I don't know but suspect it has to do with the power of a president. Eight years might be enough for any one in the White House to do what he can. In Congress, eight years may be what it takes to figure out how to do anything at all. In general, term limits are a false promise. Every election is a chance for all of us to set term limits. In every other earthly enterprise, experience tends to be seen as an asset.

Craig, Did I said that, and , if so,I'm not sure it makes sense today either. In the meantime, it's how it goes. If we here had to give one up, it would be an easy choice. PS: What about those nameless, faceless folks?

....this thread was irrelevant and unintelligible from the start.... Amen Doc Drew, but that type of brush off doesn't make the anti Christianity agenda go away. Depending on the state it gets cast in, I'd bet Gurnall's vote would actually be counted, but from a revisionist point of view.

Drew, if it's pointless, why are you wasting your time on it. Go do something that matters to you Those of us posting on this topic care about it. Move on to whatever you think makes a difference.
