Based on the polling I don't think Patrick had that good a chance of being elected Lt Governor prior to this tweet. Though I believe there will be a runoff election in May to determine the GOP candidate.

The University of Texas/Texas Tribune poll shows Dewhurst leads three Republican challengers with 37 percent of likely GOP voters saying they support him, and 31 percent saying they support Patrick. The primary is March 4.

Yes - change, update, etc.

The fall back from the courts has always been the constitution. Especially on these issues. And, any issue frankly.

Where the constitution did NOT spell out what is/isn't constitutional, the bill of rights sprung from them. I look at the bill of rights as leaves from a tree - and, they constantly get trimmed and cut - especially when there this country is less than 300 years old.

Falling back on the constitution is the final say.

Apologies for the comments I made towards you. Especially since my issue with you was flying off the handle - I clearly am guilty of that, more so actually.

You have a fundamental misunderstanding of what the constitutional amendments are and how they are legally interpreted.

What do you care about due process and citizens' rights? You were calling for the murder of medical doctors performing legal procedures.

If you are so pissed off about that abortion dr thread go post there.

Once case we have a person who is plotting to kill americans. In the other case we have someone who has killed dozens, maybe hundreds, maybe even thousands of babies.

Is obama going to uphold the right of an infant to live until it has its day in court and been convicted of a crime by its peers? Of course not.

Is obama going to uphold our right to life and a jury of our peers? Of course not.

Is obama going to be transparent so we know all the facts about Benghazi? Of course not.

I have to give the devil his due. :beer:

Would be more fitting if you called him stupid however. I guess you only reserve that privileged for those you really respect. :colbert:

I generally only call people stupid if they show a pattern of behavior, haha. Don't worry, there is still time. Still, everyone gets things wrong now and then.

Moonbeam doesn't mind that you are stupid. I am not very smart myself. What I find troubling is how deeply you believe in yourself when in fact you are usually always wrong about everything. It's a profound talent, as if you actually knew what the right answer is and are perverse in some why like maybe a secret self hate.

You realize Obama has endorsed gun ownership, right? He is on the record saying that he believes the second amendment confers an individual right to own a gun.

And he is on the record saying Marriage should be between a man and a woman, but we all know how Obama being on the record goes.
