[NH4RonPaul]

This is the most hair brained idea anyone could have yet the neocons are hot for it.

The proponents are way scary and naive.

Yes they are, a couple are sincere and well meaning. I hope they wake up!

Libertarian legal experts-Judge Napolitano, Randy Barnett, Kevin Gutzman, Bruce Fein, etc.-are proponents of the convention of states.

The "runaway" convention is a myth.

Because everyone will follow the rules with good and honest intentions.

What's the point of a convention with no specific purpose? If there is something in particular that some group wants to change, then petition for the convention. But don't just open up the floor to change for the sake of change itself.

Mark Levin, the Young Turks, and George Soros groups agree on one thing: Changing the Constitution.

Uh-huh. Despite the fact that past constitutional conventions in the United States have a 100% rate of completely trashing the existing system and replacing it with something way more authoritarian.

But that makes me sound like I'm against it. I'm not. Do it. Trash the Constitution openly - we've been doing it covertly since 1788, so it really doesn't matter to me what they do.

If they trash the existing system there's at least a probability that some states will walk away and choose not to participate in any other union going forward.

If it aint broke, dont fix it!

The problems we are experiencing today are not a result from flaws in the Constitution itself, but the lack of adherece to the Constitution.

There is an exceptionally dangerous potential that if the Constitution itself can be completely altered, it will be altered to promote Big Government instead of the original intention of a Limited Government. Might as well just "throw it in the woods" and have corporations write our Neo Constitution, that benefits them, and only them. Legalized Facism.

There are very few people that would partake in the Constitutional Convention (Con Con) that have any desire to represent the best interest of the People, not the Corporations or Big Govt.

If the Con Con starts, its all over. The United States as we all knew her will truly be dead, forever.

Because everyone will follow the rules with good and honest intentions.

Because 3/4 of states have to approve any changes.

Wouldn't it be great if we could just put cameras everywhere, so we could watch everyone, and throw the ones not following the constitution in prison for life?
If people can't be free with a document that gives them freedom, we should take that freedom away so they will stop using their freedom to violate the document that gives them freedom.

Exactly, look who we have i the state legislatures. Sure, we have a growing handful of good people, but not enough.

In our current political enviorment, I'll I can say is "no thanks."

Why do you hate America?

Why do you hate America?

The same reason you want to kill your father and screw your mother.

PS. I don't want to kill your father.

The current political environment is great for this.

31 state legislatures are controlled by Republicans, 11 by Democrats, and 8 are split.

The whole idea that George Soros is going to rewrite the Constitution is utter bullshit.

Well, I don't share your faith. I'd say it is too soon.

I work with many so-called conservatives and I don't think they think the same way as you or I about the Constitution.

Why are Soros funded groups supporting an "Article V" Convention? Maybe should go back to reading real pro Constitution sources like the New American. You know, the crazy Alex Jones type conspiracy theorists Larry McDonald supported.

Perhaps not, but I also don't think they would accept proposals from liberals either.
