Precisely my point of view.
It is amazing to watch our so called limited Government, follow the Constitution, lower taxes, "get out of my bedroom" conservatives making fools of themselves by demanding Federal and State Government intervention in an affair who should have been left to the State of Florida to decide.
When the Democrats (Janet Reno comes to mind) are usurping the law/Constitution we were all up in arms demanding the rule of Law to be observed.
Now that we are in charge, everything is just a OK to do just that, usurping the Law/Constitution because we do not like it!
I can not believe this blatant hypocrisy in the ranks of my Party!
Am, I alone thinking like this????
No you are not alone -- count me in!
Nope...and as soon as the feeding frenzy here is over I think you will find more people who understand our point of view...
No, there are plenty of dolts who are unfamiliar with Article 3, the DOI and the founding principles of this country as embodied in the Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments.
Not at all.
No, you're not alone.
=== I can not believe this blatant hypocrisy in the ranks of my Party!
The true hypocrisy comes where the courts in this instance are merely enforcing legislation which Jeb Bush signed in Florida ... very similar to the Futile Care Law which George Bush signed in Texas (giving sole discretion to the spouse, even, where exercise of the "right" to starve a family member to death -- legal in ALL 50 states -- is concerned).
But the more interesting hypocrisy is that of "strict constitutionalist" who appear to be playing the same damned shell game they played in 1970.
IT IS NEVER THE PURVIEW OF THE FED to enforce such laws, they said. FAR BE IT FROM THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT to interfere with the states' individual purview over abortion, in particular, they cried. As they made the case for state-by-state abortion laws amounting to "economic discrimination" against the poor who could not afford travel to a state providing "healthcare" services.
They had to be careful with abortion just as they are being careful with euthanasia ... sending pro-abort Laura Bush (of the "secret smile" re: stem cells) out on the evening national news to argue that "LIFE" questions ought to be Federal questions.
Don't kid yourself ... overarching all the hypocrisy here is the notion that any of the GOP leadership are "pro-life" or are interested in anything but making certain Americans push for legalized lethal injections and sign their Living Wills.
No, but I'm so frustrated that I dare not say any more lest I make a fool of myself.
If you have the time, catch up on this thread.
YOU ARE NOT ALONE. These Conservatives are CINOs - Conservatives In Name Only.
