Constitution & Original Intent... When Convenient Part 1

I recently read that John McCain claimed the founding fathers didn't intend to not allow someone born in an American territory (in McCain's case, Panama) because his father was in the military to run for President.

Note to John: The founding fathers also didn't intend for us to get involved in foreign affairs (other than trading), to have a central bank, to tax income, to regulate everything under the sun, nor for our federal government to be filled with a litany of alphabet soup bureaucracies trying to manage every aspect of our lives.

I for one would be willing to give McCain his point if we could have ours.

Will the Revolution Continue?

It would be great if Dr. Robert Paul runs for office using the momentum of his father's name. When we look back at history, we see that movements, both good ones and bad, took time. A good example of a bad movement is the Whig Party, who pushed for a strong central government (and national bank) for 40 years before the now renamed Republican Party, brought Abe Lincoln into power.
