...but the fact that the race is even close gives me pause...as a strict constructionist I am used to losing at the polls. Ronald Reagan was the last ray of political hope I have experienced...and now a majority of freepers look at a GWB victory with glee, he who is happy to let Ted Kennedy write the education bill when education is clearly not within federal jurisdiction. (see article 1, section 8 and the 10th amendment) and that is just one example of many.
Look at how far behind,at this stage of the game,candidates who WON were.
Polls mean absolutely NOTHING,at this stage of the game.
Rasmusen is still being touted here,but his polls have never be right.
Just about ALL of the polls we've seen posted here,are blatantly inaccurate.
Reagan was NOT a STRICT CONSTRUCTIONIST at all.And President Bush has done MORE,to forward Conservative goals,in his first term,than Reagan did.Both presidents were/are Conservatives!
If you're yearning for some Constitutional UTOPIA,you're wasting your time and energy.Even the FFs,as president,were NOT strict constructionists. So,you want someone to be president,who not only has never existed,but who will never exist.
Please take reality as it is,rather than mythographized tautology.
