Pro marriage ping!
Pro-life ping!
Doing a constitutional amendment on marriage puts that issue in the hands of the people. If you were to go Kerry's route some liberal judge would be making that decision for you like what happened in Massachusetts.
Missed this one .... ping!
I also think that the swift boat guys did a WHOLE LOT to damage (S)Kerry's campaign and image.
Finally, Time and Newsweek just published their analyses of the Kerry campaign. They delayed publishing it because it is so damaging to Kerry. Apparently there were many, many problems in his campaign....mostly revolving around his inability to make a decision.
One commentary:
Kerry would have to make SOME/ANY decision and he simply couldn't. So he would start calling people for advice. He was always on his cell phone. Many times he would be on two cell phones at the same time, one at each ear.
Sometimes his campaign folks would simply TAKE HIS CELL PHONES AWAY FROM HIM to keep him on track.
Another tidbit:
Theresa was more of a liability than an asset. "High maintenance," the liberal editors called her.
During the Democrat primaries, Theresa was so angry with Dean that she DEMANDED that she be scheduled for a public debate with Dean. SHE wanted to publically DEBATE Dean. Harhar. What a fiasco for the Dems!!
The more I read about Kerry's campaign the more I see that he was doomed. The pro-Kerry editors of these two rags magazine BOTH concluded that Kerry simply did not know how to run a campaign. They both agreed, separately, that the Bush campaign ran CIRCLES around the Kerry campaign.
Homosexual Agenda Ping - People keep chewing this question - was it moral values? Were moral values irrelevant? Etc.
The leftists say that Neanderthal knuckle dragging haters voted for Bush in order to discredit those who believe in traditional morality. Conservatives who attempt to straddle the moral divide (like Rush sometimes does) say, "No no no, it wasn't "gay" marriage, it was the WOT."
It was both.
Let Scripter AND me know if anyone wants on/off this pinglist.
(I'm baaack - and thinking of doing a new pinglist... about moral absolutes in general, examples of what happens when there aren't any, and general principles involved. Let me know your thoughts, and if you want on such a list. It wouldn't be as busy as this one (I think).)
Disagree. If the social issues really carried the day, and not the issues of the economy and terrorism, then Alan Keyes would be the senator from IL. Bush won because the American public had no confidence in Kerry as the leader of our armed forces as we're engaged in an overseas conflict. Something about the guy having stabbed the military in the back once already.
We need the Constitutional Amendment on marriage to protect it from Liberal activist judges.
How? The President has nothing whatsoever to do with the passage of constitutional amendments. There's no reason for him to get involved.
