And that is what a disturbing number of “conservatives” on this site are completely okay with. As long as it means teaching McCain a lesson. Totally nuts.

This has been the worst group of candidates in my lifetime. What is there to choose from? A Senator that hates the GOP or another Senator that hates the GOP? GAG!

McCain does not have a clue when it comes to the economy and this guy Obama would be a freaking nightmare!

The problem with big-shot federal spenders like Obama isn't actually Obama but the people. More specifically, ignorance of the Constitution and how the government is supposed to work is epidemic. The following links are evidence of widespread constitutional ignorance.

The consequence of widespread constitutional ignorance is that the people are impotent to send home spending-happy politicians like Obama who are as constitutionally illiterate as the people who put them in office. Indeed, regardless of his oath to defend the Constitution, Obama is in contempt of the Constitution as evidenced by his constitutionally unauthorized federal spending proposals.

This post (<-click), while addressing a tax-related thread, explains in more detail why misguided dreamers like Obama are foolishly following in the footsteps of FDR's dirty federal spending politics.

The bottom line is that the people need to wise up to the MAJOR problem of a federal government that is not operating within the restraints of the federal Constitution, a consequence of FDR's dirty politics. Bluntly put, the people need to quit sitting on their hands and send big-shot, constitution-ignoring federal spenders like Obama and Clinton home instead of trying to put people like them in the Oval Office.

Mr. Kudlow. No, he doesn’t understand. He is a Marxist, and he knows most voters in this country in imbeciles.
Any other stupid questions?

His “Global Get Out Of Poverty On the Back Of America” does pretty much that. I read s similar version already passed the House and now his, w/his 6 other Dems on the Committee as co-sponsor, comes out of committee to the Senate floor for a vote.

IMHO, FDR did indeed to substantial and ongoing damage to the republic, but his primary means was through abuse of the Commerce Clause, rather than the General Welfare Clause.

"But the question is a very different one, whether, under pretence of an exercise of the power to regulate commerce, congress may in fact impose duties for objects wholly distinct from commerce. The question comes to this, whether a power, exclusively for the regulation of commerce, is a power for the regulation of manufactures? The statement of such a question would seem to involve its own answer. Can a power, granted for one purpose, be transferred to another? If it can, where is the limitation in the constitution? Are not commerce and manufactures as distinct, as commerce and agriculture? If they are, how can a power to regulate one arise from a power to regulate the other? It is true, that commerce and manufactures are, or may be, intimately connected with each other. A regulation of one may injuriously or beneficially affect the other. But that is not the point in controversy. It is, whether congress has a right to regulate that, which is not committed to it, under a power, which is committed to it, simply because there is, or may be an intimate connexion between the powers. If this were admitted, the enumeration of the powers of congress would be wholly unnecessary and nugatory. Agriculture, colonies, capital, machinery, the wages of labour, the profits of stock, the rents of land, the punctual performance of contracts, and the diffusion of knowledge would all be within the scope of the power; for all of them bear an intimate relation to commerce. The result would be, that the powers of congress would embrace the widest extent of legislative functions, to the utter demolition of all constitutional boundaries between the state and national governments."

Why don’t Lefties just nominate the Grande Putz himself instead of Castro Light and have done with it? Nobody can claim that Fidel Castro doesn’t have decades of experience running a confiscatory Left Wing Paradise.

Might be cheap compared to what McCain’s Mexican friends cost us.

Guess what. Hussein’s more pro Mexican than McCain is. Prepare yourself for a total Cashectomy if Obama is allowed into the Oval Office.

I doubt it. How can one get more pro-Mexican than McCain, who took it upon himself to be their champion in our Senate? Besides, I’m not so sure that Obama will really get along all that well with Mexicans... blacks and Mexicans are practically at war in urban areas all over the country.

I was one of those conservatives--but the more I hear from Obama and his ant-American 'Obama-Momma' wife--combined with McCain's speech tonight (which was awesome),,,,,,the more I am ready to finally capitulate and 'come onboard' for McCain.

A Marxist with a Muslim-background (yes, even two years of it) is just too much for me to handle.

Mexicans are a primary Obama constituency (they're Democrats, duhhh!), not McCain's, and being a Chicago machine style Democrat, Obama is certainly not going to alienate his constituencies.

You're boring us with fabricated wishful thinking about how Hussein and Mexicans are supposed to not 'like each other'. That's untrue and is irrelevant to the situation IAC.

Obama and Obama-Momma may just be able to do the impossible-—UNITE and ENERGIZE an otherwise apathetic party!!! A Marxist with a muslim-background may be able to do it even more than Hillary! Amazing.
