Sorry to mis-read your comments, but Mr. Cheney defers to the Constitution on any and all issues the Constitution leaves to the States. Regretably for you homosexuals marrying is one and other than Roe vs Wade abortion is another States’ Rights issues.
When you have enemies at our door, it is the greater importance to defend as well as getting the government out of our businesss and lives.
I think I am being realistic in considering that us getting a strong leader who is everything to everyone that is highly unlikely. Even the Founding Fathers may not have met your criteria.
My “best pick” for 2012 would be the Grand Team of CHENEY-PALIN. Even in my admittedly limited scope of influence, I will do whatever I can to make it happen.
Palin-Cheney is not too bad.
One can defer to the Constitution and still believe that Roe v. Wade should be overturned as a badly written, poorly thought out decision (as do most conservatives and even a number of pro-choice liberal scholars).
Fighting homosexual marriage does not have to override or flout the Constitution. The Constitution allows for amendments. There is nothing unconstitutional about an amendment for traditional marriage. Leaving that aside, there are many ways to protect traditional marriage without violating conservative states rights. But most conservative policians — George W. — barely mention the issue.
Cheney obviously doesn’t feel comfortable talking about abortion and homosexual marriage. So he uses the Constitution argument as an excuse. He is perfectly willing to discuss murder and theft (other social issues) but plainly does not wish to go up against the liberal intelligentsia on marriage and abortion.
Meanwhile,our civilization continues to decay.
