McCain’s Supreme Court position, in pop-ups
Joe Biden’s ability to out straight talk the faux-maverick is definitely an asset for him. He sees what’s important right now and isn’t afraid to put it plainly.
Biden said U.S. President George W. Bush’s two conservative appointees — Chief Justice John Roberts and Associate Justice Samuel Alito — have pushed the nation’s highest court far to the right.
This, Biden charged, has threatened civil liberties and set back efforts to desegregate schools and obtain equal pay for women.
“Other than ending the war in Iraq, the single most significant thing that Barack Obama can do — and I hope I’ll be able to he help him — will be to determine who the next members of the Supreme Court are going to be.”
… During the next four years, Biden said, citing life expectancy estimates, there may be as many as three vacancies on the nine-member court.
“It’s not merely the woman’s right to choose (to have an abortion) which is at stake,” Biden told a mostly female crowd of several hundred people.
“It’s whether or not you are going to be able to have a fair shot at a fair wage,” Biden said. “It’s whether or not you are going to able to demand that you are treated equally in every aspect of your life.”
Those PUMAs who have said they’ll support McCain would do well to reflect on Biden’s words and McCains.
When National Review’s Ramesh Ponnuru asked McCain whether he admires any Supreme Court justice in particular, he answered “of course, Antonin Scalia…I admire how articulate he is, but I also from everything I’ve seen admire Roberts as well.”
Yep, if they can pull their heads out of the sand and THINK about it.
I’m going to give you guys a hint, not so much as I want to help you as that I just can’t stand to see the same mistake made over and over.
One key problem PUMAs have with the Obama movement is that Obama supporters, by and large, don’t seem to be able to think for themselves. We see them parroting, we see them chanting, and god, we see them quoting. They wail “But Hillary told you to vote for our messiah!”
So given that perception it’s actually going to be counter-productive for you to quote people at PUMAs as you’ll just be reinforcing the image that we find most frightening in the Obama movement.
And Suzi-Q…the whole insulting people thing, not so useful.
RWR:
I can’t speak for everyone who supports Obama but I do know why I support him… and your accusations are beyond silly…
It amazes me that you see the truth as being “insulting people”.
