While 82% of voters who support McCain believe the justices should rule on what is in the Constitution, just 29% of Barack Obama’s supporters agree. Just 11% of McCain supporters say judges should rule based on the judge’s sense of fairness, while nearly half (49%) of Obama supporters agree.

This sheds alot of light on things!

HOLY CRAP

[lookout88]

Oprahfication of the American public

[EyeGuy]

I’ll bet many of them couldn’t tell the Constitution from the Declaration of Independence, The Federalist Papers, the Emancipation Proclaimation or the warranty on their new flat-screen TV.

[freespirited]

Nothing surprising here. Obama has essentially said the same thing about fairness.

[Crazieman]

This should go into some sort of news category with sidebar status. Perhaps front page news. Its important.

[Shqipo]

Three reasons for any stragglers to bite the bullet and vote McCain/Palin: Ginsburg, Souter, Stevens. They need proper replacing.

I hope all the Bobby Barr and Ronnie Paul supporters read this! If Obammie gets elected, you can forget about the U.S. Constitution. Like Obammie, it will be “history.”

I remember a project I had to do for home schooling - I took the Bill Of Rights (the first ten amendments)and went door to door in a neighborhood several blocks over from me. I read them to whoever would open the door and let me read it. You have no idea of how many thought it was some communist propaganda.

[Reagan Man]

Liberals and socialists want to trample on the Constitution at every opportunity.

Conservatives respect the Constitution and want to uphold its concepts following the Founding Fathers original intent.

Nothing new here.

judges should rule based on the judge’s sense of fairness

WTF does that even mean anyway? Somebody should forward this to Justices Scalia and Thomas since I'm pretty sure they need a good laugh or two.

[Congressman Billybob]

Absolutely. That's exactly why I think the longterm safety of the Constitution is the most important to me (and a small fraction of other voters who are equally focused on the Constitution). The only surprise in these figures is how huge the differences are between the McCain people and the Obama people.

Scary, huh?

[taraytarah]

Obama supporters: Convicted felons, mindless idiots, media socialists, and druggies. No surprise here.

[Vision]

Proof that Obama supporters are unAmerican.

[Reily]

To all

They won't even care if Obama is constitutionally qualified to be President!

[Kellykoop]

Wow! So most of them think that unelected officials should make their own decisions as opposed to following the Constitution? I’m just speechless...and very afraid for the future of this country.

[38special]

you forgot rascists and union hacks

[markedmannerf]

My thoughts exactly!
