I kind of wish I lived in a 'swing state'...

[Corruptbuddha]

...out here, we're a lock for Republicans. And that means we miss out on all the drama associated with the ads these Super PACs will be flooding the airways with in the coming months.

With the kind of money that flooding into the campaigns, we should start to see some REAL NASTY stuff in the very near future and I'll miss most all of it.

Those of you in Penn, Virginia, Carolina and Florida, keep us abreast, will you?

You got it.

I live in Colorado, which is considered a swing state, and we have already seen one delightful ad explaining that Mitt Rmoney is "in the tank" for Big Oil, detailing the very large financial contributions that Mitt Rmoney has received from the Big Oil companies, and suggesting that if you have a hankering for higher gasoline prices, why, then, you should vote for Mitt Rmoney.

Haven't yet seen any anti-Obama ads, though it is just a matter of time.

Obama burns the Constitution.

He does.

No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a Grand Jury, except in cases arising in the land or naval forces, or in the Militia, when in actual service in time of War or public danger; nor shall any person be subject for the same offense to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb; nor shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself, nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation.

Degsme: Obama burns the Constitution.

LeRoy: The version I heard was that Obama defecates on the Constitution.

I don't think that's true. Why would Obama want to be doing the same thing that Bush and Cheney did?

Spending too much time on the intertubes.

ACLU is a good organization, and in the case of Drone Strikes they are on the right MORAL side. But their criticism is not based in Constitutional Law. The USA has no Constitutional Obligation to protect citizens who say have been conscripted into the army of another nation to fight against US Soldiers.

TheUSA has no Constitutional obligation to extend the rights of free speech to US citizens who happen to be inside the borders of another sovereign nation.

Similarly the USA has no Constitutional obligation to do anthing to support its citzenry that is in another country - particularly when we are under treaty obligation to help that country enforce its laws.


Yes there are POLITICAL reasons to protect US Citizens. But there are no CONSTITUTIONAL obligations. So while I disagree with the use of Drones for targetting, as long as they are used within the borders of another nation under the jurisprudential laws of that nation - there is NO CONSTITUTIONAL ISSUE. The USA is no more required to refrain from supporting a Yemani request for assistance with a drone strike thant it is to refrain from supporting Turkey's enforcement of its drug laws http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0077928/



So again... tell me where Obama is "burning the Constitution"?

As you might guess,we don't see much action in the Houston area either.

You ever run into GWB picking up a six pack of Lone Star at the 7-11?

He lives in Dallas. I hate driving to Dallas.

Wouldn't George outsource that job to Laura the Librarian?

I like the fact my state's always a lock for the Dems, in terms of how it keeps our airwaves from being too polluted by attack ads, and it cuts down on the number of campaign signs cluttering people's yards, and campaign calls disturbing our dinners. But it's sad that it effectively means I may as well not even have a vote in the presidential election. It's so weird that we have this electoral college that, for all practical purposes, allows the people in a small number of states choose the leader for the rest of us.
