We Like Ike

The silly hat brigade speaks. Not the economy stupid. Burdened in Boston. When Ron Paul is president. A real piece of hate mail. Plus more.
p> DO-OVER br> Re: R. Emmett Tyrrell, Jr.'s Conventional Wisdom : /p> p>Bingo! I think it might be interesting to go back to convention-nominated candidates. I was a child in the '50s watching the nominating conventions with my grandparents on their television. Those summers were the start of my lifelong interest in politics. Where better to learn than at the knee of a FDR-reviling grandfather and a gentler grandmother whose political convictions were just as strong -- but better modulated. br> -- Judy Beumler br> Louisville, Kentucky /p> p> Agreed. Let's go back to the convention system. While we're at it, how about repealing the 17th amendment to the Constitution? This should save us from at least a few of the gasbags lording it over us in the U.S. Senate. Much mischief has come about following Amendments 16 through 19. And we've only come to our senses with regard to the 18th. br> -- Dan Martin br> Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania
