The issue of a gay divorce being invalid (eventhough it was legit in the State it took place in) beginning consider invalid against public policy at divorce time is bound to hit the supreme court. Then the Supreme Court will have to decide whether gay marriage is against public policy an considered an invalid marriage outside of the State the marriage took place in.
Nor am I. I see the growing of government, social programs, welfare and tax increase as socialism.
The Latinos will still vote Democratic, I wasn't disputing that. Latinos are huge receipts of welfare, state provided healthcare and a good chunk are at the bottom tax level, so increase in taxes mean nothing to them. However, McCain will get more Latino votes then other Republican candidate and that was what I was trying to state. Also never under-estimate the CA Latino hatred for the black man.
Unfortunately that is a true statement, most Jews are blind Democrats. With PA over and Clinton not making a real dent into Obama's lead, Obama looks like he is the candidate. The Jewish voters in NJ, NY and FL will be hestiate of him. I predict they go with McCain. Obviously I fall outside of that since I prefer fiscal conservatism and responsibility over socialism.
LOL, WHAT? Ron Paul was a non-factor he barely got any vote regard of the hoopla. The news credited his win in NH and FL to the independent votes. It is well known that he has a favorable standing with the independents.
McCain is seen as a more left leaning Republican. He will still some more moderate Democrats.
Please! That is a typical unsubstantiated leftist attack.
Obama has a lot to prove to be in half of what MLK was. MLK was arguably the best American in US history. Putting Obama in the same phrase at this point in disingenious. Obama has done nothing to warrant it.
Read up a little, before you make arrogant attacks on the man. The right-wing talk radio hates him because of his going against the party. McCain will decrease taxes and spending 10 fold, that hasn't been the trend for Democrats or Republicans since Reagan! |
That is okay, a liberal judge would be fair but would remain within the limits of the Consitution. So no big deal. A conservative judge would not be as fair because they are not into equal rights but prefer religious domination. The lower courts would no doubt be able to deal with a simple divorse case.
Spending too much to maintain military control over all the other countries is not viewed by you as socialism none the less it is costing much more then any of the domestic needs in our society. The Democrats would downsize that expendature, they would make the rich people pay their fair share of taxes (not a raise in taxes but the removal of unjust deductions) and they have a solid plan to create many new domestic jobs that will not be outsourced and which are not governmental jobs. They will spearhead a program to get the run-away costs of healthcare and energy back into balance with the wages of the average and low income citizens. And effect a better way to mangage our current systems of education. Those are all good things no matter what kind of name tag you wish to hang on it.
I agree with your opinon about the Mexican-American vote, but in the Southwestern USA they hold many of the good and average paying jobs and most of our businesses out here are geared to attract that group because they maintain good credit and pay their bills. They are the hard working section of our communities and that is why they are advancing and why the African Americans resent them which resulted in conflicts between the two races. That voting block is hugh. But they are made up of a diversity of opinons and a number of them do favor the Republican objectives, especially because the Pope does not like abortions, which McCain is also outspoken about.
Some Jewish people are very wealthy and would side with you viewpoints that favor the freedoms that rich people want and which they do not want poor workers to share. Hillary won the Jewish block in Penn according to exit polls and she has a good network within that community already established. The Democrats were the first party to seclect a Jewish person to be a VP before he double-crossed the party.
But he is an odd-ball and is more interested in the middle-east then he is in the concerns of the Jewish community here in the USA. Making things worse in the middle-east is not really in the best interest of Israel even if their own leadership in Israel is unable to realize that, and that is the missguided goal of the Republicans. Those who favor peace over religion are going to vote Democratic. Obama has too many childhood connections with Islamic teachings to get them excited about his message.
He is a tiny bit more liberal then President Bush who is nearly a dictator but he does not even come close to being in the middle. Although Hillary said she and he were friends and visted many countries together and she feels she can work with him to get things done once she is elected as President. She knows this guy and how he thinks which gives her a big advantage over what Obama knows about him. So far McCain has dodged every attempt made by her to have a debate, McCain feels only at ease debating Obama but he knows better then to take on Hillary Clinton, as he does not want a knock out in the first round.
He might send in some hatchet men to cut the budgets of many programs that the voters want, such as education and emergency health care, but he still supports massive military expendatures and that is eating away at the flesh and bones of our domestic economy, along with the high costs of medicene and energy, which problem he wants to ignore in favor of the total distruction of Iraq and Iran, and do doubt the West Bank. He is making a tour trying to imitate Hillary in order the "feel the pain" of the struggles of the poor people but frankly I do not see him "feeling" anything at all. If he does not like her why is he following in her footsteps - it was clear he is a duck out of water when it came to dancing to the gospel music in that recent news clip. Even Al Gore can dance better then he did. Although his ship will not come in during this election he will not be underestimated by the Hillary camp. He might be an old cat but he was re-elected a lot of times from his state, and what he lacks in good judgement he can make up for in "below the belt" advertising.
