And the republican joke fest begins
The circus has begun. Soon the infighting will commence and those who are decent among the republicans will be dropping out of the race, leaving us with the typical vermin to choose from. This nations government so desperately needs a colonic that the toxic sludge would likely kill everything in a 1000 mile radius.
Trump? Graham? Huckabee? Rubio? Christie? Pataki? Santorum? BUSH!?
This isn't a game, all the chips are on the table for the future of MY NATION. This is nothing less than disgusting.

I'm beginning to smell blood, fear and above all I smell victory.
I'm suggesting that no one person is likely to be able to use the tools currently available to peacefully change a dysfunctional infrastructure that has been 100+ years in the making.
Being careful not to disturb the sacred cows of retirement pay and social security and medicare of course.
On the other hand weren't all of them going to be investigated?
So if Obama can get away with it to further his purposes whatever they were. Why not Mr. well meaning?
On the other hand we could just roll over and play dead.
Let's see what their next trick might be.
Good post!
It is a sham, it is rigged. Bush and Hillary have already been selected, Hillary will get 4 years because she is a woman. Then, I'm not sure what they will do (or, if the USA will still exist).
As for all those voting for the lesser of two evils....I honestly think that voting for one person so another person doesn't win is the most immoral thing you can do short of physical aggression to get your way. Just think, if all of you (both Dems and Repubs) voted for a third candidate they would win easily. The media has you in a trance called the false left/right paradigm. Both parties are far left of center, both parties are corporatist (i.e. fascist), both parties fit snuggly in the Wesley Mooch mold.
I, personally, am going to grab some popcorn and single malt scotch and enjoy the comedy that is the election cycle. Well.....until I get to the buzzed "I hate my fellow American" stage and cry myself to sleep.
Second are there any in the Republican Party or the Conservative Democrat ranks willing to break free and actually mean it. Not like the clown the Republicans loaned out to destroy the Populists heft campaign fund - second time around?
Rand? Sounds like good news. He's having an operation? He's publicly resigning membership in and offering an apology for being a Republican? Mighty big wart.then running as a what. Centrist, Constitutionalist, Libertarian, Independent?
There is no greater or lesser evil there is only evil. Get behind me.
Sorry, guys.
The Court stated that the right to keep and bear arms is subject to regulation, such as concealed weapons prohibitions, the carrying of weapons in certain locations, laws imposing conditions on commercial sales, and prohibitions on the carrying of dangerous and unusual weapons. (It did not define dangerous and unusual other than of a type similar to those generally in use at the time the Constitution was written (single shot rifles and muskets and pistols)
It stated that this was not an exhaustive list of the regulatory measures that would be presumptively permissible under the Second Amendment. (Left it subject to interpretation.)
The Court found that the D.C. ban on handgun possession violated the Second Amendment right because it prohibited an entire class of arms favored for the lawful purpose of self-defense in the home. It similarly found that the requirement that lawful firearms be disassembled or bound by a trigger lock made it impossible for citizens to effectively use arms for the core lawful purpose of self-defense, and therefore violated the Second Amendment right.
(restricted to in the home)
Because Heller conceded at oral argument that the D. C. licensing law is permissible if it is not enforced arbitrarily and capriciously, the Court assumes that a license will satisfy his prayer for relief and does not address the licensing requirement. Assuming he is not disqualified from exercising Second Amendment rights, the District must permit Heller to register his handgun
(and must issue him a license to carry it in the home. Pp. 56–64.[180])
The Court said it was unnecessary to address the constitutionality of the D.C. licensing requirement.(Thus failed to answer the question but assumed the right and evaded 9th and 10 Amendment issues.)
The outcome of D.C. v. Heller leaves some issues unanswered, including whether the Second Amendment restricts state regulation of firearms, and the standard for evaluating the constitutionality of other laws and regulations that impact the Second Amendment right. These issues will be the subject of future litigation.
Tell me again about no infringement?
Then again there is the habit of ignoring the constitution by current and former Presidents and let us not forget the above majority opinions laid out no less than five plus areas 'not visited by the Supreme Court and restricted the infringement to the home in a sixth.)
The rest was left up to the States and the lower courts although I did find that some states can authorize but not operate private militias.
Bueno. I concede uncoupled from membership in State Militias and do not concede
a. infringements as the plaintiff rights? were clearly infringed to exclude anything outside the home and in other ways
and b. powers not granted though they were granted to the States but not the federal government however they neatly sidestepped they had no power to grant rights to the States - it's the other way around. I think they knew it but did not want to admit it.
then sent it back to the States and lower courts with a clear message to continue infringements in an unexhausted and presumably presumptive list of other areas. Doesn't really meet the test of any definition on no infringement.
As for you lefties (being neither right nor left myself) 9th and 10th Amendments live and not visited by the Supreme Court is not a permission to assume powers not granted. Doing so openly is a Nuremberg Defense and open admission of guilt combined with a plea for clemency or leniency in sentencing. Tell Carville you need a better line of BS.
Simply, I think he would kickass and take names!!!
What do you think?
