I too am in boy scouts, and I am an Eagle Scout, and have son in scouting now, and I’m aghast at the attempt here to make a mountain out of a molehill. Romney said that he supports the Boy Scouts right to make their own decisions, and that’s all there is to it. The rest is trivia.
Like I said previously:
The debate tonight talked about big issues like Iran, terrorism, taxes, economy, immigration, ... big issues. And this is a flyspeck on a pimple on a flea of an issue.
Romney is being ruthlessly and mercilessly attacked here because he is not a gay basher. Even though he is consistently against gay marriage, even though the log cabin crowd hates Romney now for his vehement opposition to gay marriage and support of FMA, even though driving this and other issues is helping an opponent of FMA and friend of log cabin - McCain ...
Romney is one candidate who has been out in front defending traditional marriage. Divorced and remarried guys cant do it as convincingly perhaps, but its an important thing to do.
“We the People” in the preamble is a “big P”.
In section 2, the house of representatives is a “big P”.
Section 6, second paragraph, “any Person” is a “big P” referring to office holders.
Section 7, refers to congressmen as “big P’ “People”.
You get the idea.
in the second amendment,and in the bill of rights, “people” is “little P”.
Two different “people”.

That was my opinion. Also, it would make one wonder why all the other 9 amendments were directed at the individual’s rights, and this one gave a collective right.

“...his detractors insist on taking an answer where he took great pains NOT TO SAY scoutmasters...”
Charles, please explain the supernatural powers by which you know that Mitt “took great pains” not to say the word “Scoutmasters.”
Simply amazing.
Why should he? He said the word “all,” which everyone on the planet knows the meaning of. Except you, apparently.
.
Now this is interesting news for Scouters for the Primary and the General Election.
Put the truth out there! Thank you!
My Constitution has it as a capital P, though there may be different versions floating around.
