I understand that.All of this can be distilled down to one statement.
Enforce the Constitution as the Founders envisioned it.
Unfortunately we have a mainstream electorate who, while their hearts and minds are in the right place, too often have not studied the Constitution or the documents that undergird it and would not respond well to a 'just enforce the Constitution' concept. I think they want to know that those campaigning for office understand their anger, their frustration, their fears, and their hopes and wants. If those running cannot articulate that in words they understand, they have no way of knowing whether they are likely to be well represented or not.
Just look at how differently some on USMB interpret the Constitution than probably you and I do, for instance.
But if they wish to enact this stuff. They need to beat the American people over the head with the truth about how the Constitution is not being followed. They need to have it in front of the American people every 15 minutes until they wake up and start asking a few more hard questions at the town hall meetings.
