RUSH: The Hucksters Make Their Case - and Finally Convince the Host?

Why should the federal government be setting up domestic policy? Seems to me that’s a state issue, not something that the feds should be dealing with.
Evangelicals seem to like a big government when it comes to legislating values, and that’s a turn off to me. Let the states make the rules.
Yep, and Huckabee is just the sort of temper tantrum one can expect from people who have been spoiled rotten for years.
Sadly my wife informed me last night she was now a Hickabee supporter based on one issue. She was leaning FDT until he said he would modify social security. She is a mental health professional and thinks we should do more for those types. I told her if we are broke or embroiled at home in terror it is a moot point.
She has become a one issue voter. I am deeply saddened.
Socialism is the great evil of this world. The fact that the Huckster thinks (in apparent sincerity) that he speaks for God simply shows that Satan is a talented ventriloquist.
Yeah; it's a well known fact that the Czars and their ministers all worshipped belly button lint.
If the problem with the Soviet Union were simply it's economic policies then the Soviet Union should have been able to rebound when it changed them.
They've been doing so (though Pooty-poot might undo much of the progress, being of the old regime in all but name). Obviously, it takes decades to undo the damage of decades.
American history is littered with amendments that have been "passed" but not ratified.
Amendments to the Constitution must be ratified by THREE FOURTHS of all the states to become the supreme law of the land.
Can a single evangelical out there supply the list of three fourths of all states in the United States of America in 2008 that would ratify EITHER a Right to Life Amendment OR a Right to Abortion Amendment?
Anybody?
The only way to realistically change the status of abortion in the U.S., is to appoint "original intent" Justices to the Supreme Court to overturn Roe v. Wade and have matters not mentioned in the Constitution be under the jurisdiction of the States as the Tenth Amendment states they are.
But, as some have said on this thread, they "don't care".
They would rather sabotage the elections, put a Hillary or Obama in the White House who will fill Supreme Court vacancies with Ruth Ginsburg clones and keep abortion legal in all 50 states for decades to come just so they can brag about how uncompromisingly holy they are.
“Sadly my wife informed me last night she was now a Hickabee supporter based on one issue.”
Fortunately, Hubby and I always do a Vulcan political mind-meld when it comes to choosing candidates. We both can’t stand McQueeg or Huckabee, would prefer Fred Thompson, but will be okay if Romney or Guiliani were the nominee. Actually, we wish President Bush could run for a third term—we’d be proud to vote for him.
I can’t imagine being divided on something like this. Of course, hubby also assured me he never would have asked me out for the first time if I had been a Democrat. LOL
Keep working on your wife—she isn’t a lost cause. She’ll eventually see through the Huckster’s snake oil routine.
The USSC is not bound by stare decisis when it deals with the fundamental decisions of life or death and for the USSC to continue to allow death when all indications are that death deals with extreme suffering is unconstitutional in itself. The death penalty involves minimal to no pain the way it’s done so I think the USSC is playing their games on the wrong issues and on purpose.
Puh-leeze. That wink-wink-nudge-nudge "I'm not exactly saying that Mormons believe that Lucifer was Jesus' brother..." stunt was a clear appeal to religious bigotry (compounded by being delivered in such a spineless weasel way).
No. I was merely speaking to your statement, giving an example proving it false.
There must always be room for mercy. I am against liberal judges who do not enforce the law, but I am equally against mandated judgments, removing the ability of a judge to grant mercy. There is a middle ground that once was the norm.
My browser seems to have conjoined a FR URL with DU content.
Interesting you state this. I told someone the other day that Huckabee actually scares me more than Obama.
Which is irrational because WE ARE AT WAR!
My heart aches for our men with boots on the ground right now, who have sacrificed and died.
While we play games with our egos, and are fundamentally unserious spoiled brats at the moment when they need us the most.
In the meantime our troops in the REAL WAR will be turned over to a man and a party who have tried to destroy them, sabotage them and their mission for 6 years.
And regret and shame will be the legacy of this election.
Yep. Huckster combines the worst portions of the left (economic nammy statism, class warfare) and the worst portions of the religious right (moral nanny statism, sectarian divisiveness); Obama at least would only afflict the nation with the former. Worse, he associates these concepts with the GOP brand name; Obama at least maintains their existing association with the Dems.
