    Cool The Compromise Thread

    Here are the compromises I have proposed. I have seen conservatives and republicans who are willing to go along, but no democrats. Let me know if you would agree with any of these, or propose your own.

    1) Before we raise the debt limit, we must pass a Balanced Budget Amendment.
    2) We agree to raise taxes on the rich if you agree to repeal the Affordable Care Act.
    3) We agree to comprehensive immigration reform including amnesty for all non-felons effective only after we have secured our borders and done a complete census of all illegal aliens followed by a moratorium on legal immigration for 10 years.
    4) A Same Sex Marriage/Right to Life Amendment to the US Constitution (with an exemption clause for religious institutions).
    5) A secure and standard voter registration and identification system for national elections. No open primaries. Rotate state primary schedules.
    Please add to the list.

    The marijuana amendment?

    In exchange for what? This is not a republican democrat issue. It is a libertarian issue.

    It's a freedom issue. 420 is a victimless crime and our government wastes valuable money criminalizing it.
    This is America and my government is telling me I can't smoke this big beautiful bag of bud that I paid for even though it harms no one?

    Bull$#@!, I say.

    I know that many people have died trafficing marijuana. It is not a harmless drug. This issue doesn't belong in this thread because republicans and democrats are for and against it. This is about republicans and democrats compromising.

    If it was a legal commodity, like cigarettes or alcohol, people would be making serious money from its growth and production. They wouldn't be trafficking it, they would be delivering it to gas stations and convenience stores.

    Why should we compromise with frauds, criminals, dictators and communists who want to run the entire country? We shouldn't be compromising with them, we should have defeated them.

    The only reason people have died is because it is illegal. Legalize and you instantly remove the criminal element.

    I vote we let them do whatever they want for the next few years. It will be like France, which is cratering at warp speed.

    It is time for the Obama voters, especially the dumb young and dumber women, to have a direct experience of the consequences of their voting. It would be a lesson that would be remembered a long time.
