And your criminal comment doesn't hold alot of water either. Gun shows, stores regularly ignore rules and since the NRA and their minions say no background check, yes to immediate purchase, there are a lot of guns that should not be out there but are. When I talk about competition I mean the oil companies obscene profits and drug and health insurance companies always RAISING $ while denying the admission of cheaper substitutes. There are certainly democrats that won't do anything about it but the GOP has the lock. As for prayer, just what was the religious make-up of this country at it's onset? How many buddhists, jews, muslims were here? NONE of any consequential amount, if any. Therefore the founders could put in their own prayers and it wouldn't matter. Two hundred + years later this country is NOT all christian and therefore having preacher Clem say "Bow down to Jesus your lord and savior" at the ball game is not only ridiculous but discriminatory. UNLESS you allow all the other groups that attend these events to say their own. OK? Let's let the Iman, the Rabbi and the Monk get up in some Texas/Alabama/Idaho town and say something. You'll surely see a sight as BillyBob, Brandine and the rest of the kin raise h#$* I noticed that you did not address my no contract, no accountability job award comment.

McCain a 'moderate' ... please look at his voting record. He is a hard core conservative and, worse, a neoconservative in foreign policy. The writer who suggested that Alioto is not a conservative ... absurd, because he is also hard core. One thing is clear ... if McCain appoints the next two Supreme Court judges, women can kiss their reproductive rights goodbye. As a former GOP leader who has been forced to change parties because of the takeover of the GOP by the Religious Right and Neocons, I hope people will look at the facts, real issues, and actual records of the candidates. McCain is Bush Redux. And Bush is surely the worst president in our history. The amount of misunderstanding and misinformation in this blog is truly amazing!

Both justices have established solidly conservative records since President Bush appointed them to the court, and the appointment of just one more conservative on the Supreme Court could tip the balance on questions such as abortion, civil rights, civil liberties and private property.
