Lot of stupid Repubs still defending as well.
Stupid no, Rinos yes, and Dems masquerading as Republicans.
What’s going on today is determining Order of Allegiance.
The TeaPariers, Palins, JimRobinsons, FR’s, Cains, Perrys, FredThomas’s are Conservatives first, then, and ONLY then, republicans.
The Roves, Coulters, Priebuses, Christies, Crists, Romeny’s, Drudges, and the like are Republicans first, then, and ONLY then, conservative.
[I’ve left out of the above listing Newt. He is the vessel of the first group, and our next challenge is to ensure his order of allegiance is: The First Group, then, and ONLY then, the second group.]
I have had a few Republicans telling me I am not being rational by preferring Newt over Romney. One of them I used to offer a ride home to as I go his way. Friday he walked home in the rain.
Its not the same. One is a states rights issue, one is not. Even if the law was exactly the same - word for word. I don’t like either law, however a state has a lot of power. I dont feel a state has a right to mandate things but the state mandate things all the time. You must have a drivers license, gun license (in nj), you must pay your property tax, etc. However everything is still optional. You are not mandated to have a gun or a car but your not mandated to live in MA either.
