This deserves some reflection and analysis.
Money talks, Sarah Palin talked for McCain and the Arizona GOP insiders like Jan Brewer and John McCain hooked onto the murder of Robert Krentz.
They hyped the law that was a very modest response to the murder, but PO’ed the lefties to start a fight.
Talk radio and Fox News reported it all to the conservative grassroots in Arizona and across the nation.
Obama got into it with a lawsuit and a court injunction to render the law meaningless anyway.
But the fight was started and emotions raised at grassroots level with McCain and Brewer riding it for election year success.
McCain upped the ante by suggesting some constitutional amendment idea for children of illegals to not become automatic citizens when born in the US.
A prop to suck in conservatives again that will go nowhere with the Dems blocking it and the courts probably becoming a vehicle to create amnesty for illegals.
That game was played by GOP insiders who will suggest a marriage constitutional amendment that is going nowhere with Dems against it while gay marriage goes forward in the courts.
The reason the gay-marriage thing will eventually win out is because the government gives monetary goodies to married couples. Probably what was an honest attempt by a few Congress Critters way back when to help the American Family a little will end up destroying the institution of marriage. When you start handing out government money (or giving a break on taxes) you set up a situation that will lead to rulings handed down from SCOTUS based on "Equal Protection".
Its the logical result of any attempt by the government to engage in social justice no matter which side of the political spectrum said social justice attempt falls to.
