Fred will dissapoint conservatives.

[RKV]

Fred will disappoint some so-called conservatives.

Federalism is at the very core of constitutional government. Many so-called conservatives have forgotten or deliberately ignored that fact. They are hell-bent for election and willing to turn our form of government inside out in pursuit of their desired outcomes. Let's take abortion for instance. The US Constitution doesn't say a damn thing about it, and there is no way you can reasonably twist the 14th Amendment to extend personhood to a being which doesn't have citizenship and can't be counted in a census. Ditto on the ginned up Terri Schiavo "controversy." It ain't the Federal government's business to deal with these issues. And so on.
