'UNCLOS' Or 'LOST - A Bad Idea Resurfaces

No bad idea is ever completely defeated in this country, perhaps in other nations as well. I have seen bad ideas surface again and again in this country. When the right is defeated the right tends to stay defeated.

I recall advocating a national right-to-work law when I worked in the Senate in the late 1970s. The member of the leadership to whom I pitched the idea exclaimed, "Oh, no. We can't do that. It was defeated in 1958." I merely was suggesting that we try to get a vote on the issue. I knew we couldn't win at that time. I went on and said "So? There is hardly anyone here who was in the Senate then." I didn't work for this senator so I felt that I could not go further but the point remains valid. No doubt if I tried to push the idea among conservatives in the Senate to this day someone would object because his father told him that the idea had been defeated in 1958 and therefore it could not be done.

What is going on with Bush? He seems bent on destroying this country and letting the rest of the world have control over us. He has turned out to be the worst president we have had since Carter. He has become very very scary. We Americans are going to pay dearly for his actions. I voted for him but I think he should be impeached on the basis of his going against his Oath of Office of protecting this country and its people. He is not doing his job.

WHAT IN THE HELL ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT???

"Worse president since Carter"???? "Impeached"??

There are a couple things that I vehemently disagree with Bush on... but YOU are so off the board with your comments it's laughable... just come from Soros' house, did ya?? Have tea with Rosie??

Anyone who thinks that Bush cares what polls say must be out of their minds... he hasn't changed his (unpopular, according to polls) stance on WOT/Iraq... nor has he changed his (most certainly unpopular with conservatives) stance on amnesty...

IF he has changed his mind on this issue it isn't because he wants to gain popularity. Why would he? He IS a lame duck president...

The point of the article is that the libs continue to forward their agenda... when "defeated" it is only a matter of time before they reintroduce the same legislation... we see it over and over. From gay marriage to Global Warming (like this maneuver)... they simply wait for the MSM to convince enough people that this is what we need, wear us down, and then pounce.

And IF defeated, like the 2000 elections, they claim "fraud"...

The destruction of America is never over for them, it's only a waiting game... just like al Qaeda.

Spot on, RD. When he takes a stance it's because he believes in it and he sticks with it.

It looks like we have to change the president's mind on the Law of the Sea Treaty. This was discussed right here in the forum some months back and we should have started calling the White House about this then. It's not too late. Granite River keeps the White House telephone number in his sig line. Let's get busy.

tgc, if you're so scared, perhaps you're on the wrong side of the fence. Am I hearing "cut and run" here?
