Gotta Watch These Sons'a'bitches [or, "Lookee What I Found"]!!!
[Where in Hell do the slugs in the Bronx [above, right] find these slimeballs?!?! This sum'bitch wants a president to be able to "go on forever" as long as he can get re-elected!! Just what we need..... ANOTHER DAM' SOCIALIST!!! This slimeball is attempting to capitalize on the "Era of Fluff;" thinking that the vast majority of voters "drank the cool-aid," now is the time to push for a dictatorial-democracy [we can have an opinion as long as it agrees with the socialists!]. If it was such a great idea to have a president in perpetuity, would EVERY president in history, save one, have resisted a third term? Another devout socialist, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, was elected to a third and a fourth presidential term. His continued presidency was THE primary contributing factor in the continuation of the Depression beyond it's normal economic life!!]
