I agree with Howlin.

One of the few she was referring to. Cool...its still a quasi-free country. Enjoy.

You are being a bit over the top to suggest, only on emotions I suppose, that Howlin is in a minority at FR....she is, in fact, in the majority...a large majority at FR believe that having a president who is at least on the same page, although not in agreement with every bullet point on the page, is preferable to having any leftist democrat in office.....it is called being practical...living in the REAL world....We do not subscribe to a "cut off our noses to spite our face" mentality of the "purist", and we tire of being labeled as unprincipled because we take a practical (what can be done) approach.

Having said that...I voted for Bush and will do so again, HOWEVER, he made a TERRIBLE mistake in signing this bill, and far too much of what he has done runs against my strongly social and economic conservative views....but, he is still the ONLY man with a chance to win that can assure that a Howard Dean from becoming president...and Dean would not ONLY allow further chipping away at the Constitution, he would SUBVERT it to the United Nations.

You know, I stood up for Howlin and you enjoyed slinging a remark my way.

I have news for you--those of us who realized WAY BACK WHEN that this was bad law were overruled by CONGRESS. President Bush gave the country what it had asked for, in my opinion, when he signed a bill that the MAJORITY had approved.

So if we can't be bothered to elect people who will uphold the Constitution, and then vigorously lobby those same people to keep a watch on the laws they create (over 13,000,000 laws at last count) we don't want the Constitution very badly, do we?

In my opinion, here's what will happen: The DEMOCRATS will break the hell out of this law, figuring they'll sort it out AFTER they win the election.

I think the Republicans should be prepared to immediately follow their example post-haste should that occur. That should tie up the USSC for a good four to five years.

My suggestion to you: get an education first, then post. You are embarrassing yourself. Not only can you not think; you cannot write.
