Tonight's Debate... my take

Argh. What I wouldn't give to have a Presidential debate moderator like Ron Paul, or Jesse Ventura, or.... me! ... but I digress...

Here's what I heard tonight from McCain. For those conservatives out there who supposedly 'cling' to the constitution, this is what I heard...

"I am for federal funding of embryonic stem-cell research."

"I was the first to bring climate change to the senate." (in other words, I was first to bring up the idea of regulating 'carbon output' at the federal level)

"I would use 300 Billion dollars to buy up bad loans." (My advice to you homeowners who pay their mortgages... stop! The government will take care of it.)

"I voted for Ruth Bader Ginsburg." (Ginsburg believed in changing the age of consent to 11. ELEVEN!)

"I will give a 5,000 tax credit for healthcare to every American." (Like Ron Paul says, when the government subsidizes something, you'll get more of it. For example, in this case, insurance will simply go up as it has at the advent of Medicade... etc)


Why is it he doesn't bring up the constitution... ever?

For those Liberals who go weak in the knees every time Obama speaks, here's what I heard...

"I will force companies to take care of health insurance, or they will be fined." (Yikes! That's change I suppose.)

"If you oil companies don't use land, then you'll lose it!" (Wow! I didn't realize they were borrowing private property from the government. Ownership of property is a huge requirement for a free nation, and this idea that we are simply leasing land is becoming more and more pervasive)

"I will give 95% of Americans a tax credit." (Lemme translate. People who don't pay taxes will get money from taxpayers. No matter where you stand, socialist, capitalist, fascist... the fact is, the constitution does not allow for a 'Robin Hood' program)

"I will invest..." (He said this a lot. I think it's great that he'll invest. Wow, I wonder how much he'll invest. [someone whispers in Adam's ear] Oh. Oh, he's not investing his money? He's investing our money? Wow! That's swell.)


Why is it he doesn't bring up the constitution... ever? Well, actually, he did bring it up once tonight. The 'right to privacy', which I assume he means the 4th amendment, no illegal search and seizure. Problem is, he's already trampled on that amendment by voting for illegal, unconstitutional, warrantless wiretaps. Weird.

Ugh. I know a few guys that quote the constitution. Maybe you ought to consider them. Bob Barr, Chuck Baldwin, even Nader and McKinney would be better than these bought and sold corporate candidates.

Remember, voting for a third party candidate in whom you believe is not a waste. Voting for the lesser of two evils, a la, voting for someone that you don't believe in, is the true waste. Continue the revolution.
