If he actually said this......SCARY

Can you imagine the uproar if obummer said this shit?

Actually, Obama refuses to enforce the Defense of Marriage Act right now, Glass. I don't like federal laws about such things either, but he DID swear to uphold the laws of the United States when elected.

Oh, and let's not forget Eric Holder refusing to put the Panthers in the slammer.

"Oh, and let's not forget Eric Holder refusing to put the Panthers in the slammer."

[snark] A national emergency which requires federal action! [/snark]

Yes, Hans. Actual voter intimidation should be prosecuted, even if you sneer. But Holder looks at asking for identification as intimidation? Get real.

"The Constitution of the United States has absolutely nothing to say about a constitutional right to same-sex marriage. Were the federal courts to recognize such a right, it would be completely without constitutional basis,"

Actually, he's correct on this issue. Nothing in the Constitution talks about a "right" for ANYONE to marry. Think about it, the states all have laws addressing minimum ages for marriage and other requirements. "Marriage" between gays and lesbians is also a matter that should be left to the individual states.

"Actual voter intimidation should be prosecuted..."

Then take it up with the voting/law enforcement officials in Philadelphia.

No argument there, Hans. Having more people vote than are registered is a Philadelphia classic.

"Oh, and let's not forget Eric Holder refusing to put the Panthers in the slammer."

How could you possibly forget?

You know, what with FOX and Rush reminding you every 10 minutes or so for the last 3 years.

Spud'll never forget that particular incident because out of all the many examples of how FOX news went out of it's way to push the bigot button during that election cycle them replaying those 2 morons at that polling station all day while voting was still going on is definitely the clearest and most egregious example of why FOX gets the coveted "Not racist, but #1 with racists" award.

So... yeah, let's never forget THAT.

Thanks for reminding Spud.

So if we prosecute blacks men for voter intimidation, it is 'bigotry,' Spud? C'mon! You're better than that.

NFW Newt - that'd be voting for more Tyranny run by a killer. Better off writing in Gary Johnson, Ron Paul, or Dennis Kusinich.

"So if we prosecute blacks men for voter intimidation, it is 'bigotry,' Spud? C'mon! You're better than that."

Actually...he's not.

So if we prosecute blacks men for voter intimidation, it is 'bigotry,' Spud? C'mon! You're better than that.

FOX putting footage of those two whackjobs on heavy rotation on election day was an obvious, odious, pathetic last ditch last minute attempt to sway the election by playing the race card.

Those two guys prolly intimidated 0 voters that day in Chicago but FOX's footage was prolly good for a 10s if not 100s of thousands of votes against Obama and they've been blowing that dog whistle long and strong ever since.

FOX should be ashamed of itself.

You should be able to see this clearly for yourself but you for some reason you can't or won't.

In fact, you continue to see this crap in a "This is bad news... for Obama" narrative.

That aint Spud's problem.

Be Well.

If this were 2 klan members you would be all over it.

Best part of the article: "But the former House speaker demurred when asked whether President Obama could ignore a high court ruling next year if it declared unconstitutional the new healthcare law and its mandate that all Americans have health insurance by 2014. Gingrich said presidents can ignore court rulings only in "extraordinary" situations."

So he can break the written law, but will have to abide by imaginary standards. Got it.

How the hell is anyone taking this guy seriously in this election?

I believe you are confused on that matter. The administration enforces DOMA but refuse to defend it in court.

Diablo: "Obama refuses to enforce the Defense of Marriage Act right now"

Johnny Hotsauce: I believe you are confused on that matter. The administration enforces DOMA but refuse to defend it in court.

You are correct.

DOMA is a steaming pile of unconstitutional, immoral, regressive shiat.

See also: Anyone who sticks up for it.

Be Well.

Newt Gingrich says as president he would ignore Supreme Court decisions that conflicted with his powers as commander in chief, and he would press for impeaching judges or even abolishing certain courts if he disagreed with their rulings.

"I'm fed up with elitist judges" who seek to impose their "radically un-American" views, Gingrich said Saturday in a conference call with reporters.

In recent weeks, the Republican presidential contender has been telling conservative audiences he is determined to expose the myth of "judicial supremacy" and restrain judges to a more limited role in American government. "The courts have become grotesquely dictatorial and far too powerful," he said in Thursday's Iowa debate.

rofl

Gingrich is as big government as they come. Now watch as all of the small government conservatives nominate him to be their candidate for president.

"Gingrich is as big government as they come. Now watch as all of the small government conservatives nominate him to be their candidate for president."

What the modern GOP admires is someone who promises to break things. Newt is making such promises. I tend to see him as the nominee.

Newt is following in the tradition of George W. Bush who, once given power, broke an awful lot of things.

Now, if Newt can also be as mean as hell while he is breaking things, Republicans are going to think he is a really great man.

I'm not sure why I ever thought Republican politics was very complicated. It has two speeds: selfish and actinic. Once you figure that out, it is all so damned predictable.

Go Newt!

Gingrich would defy GOD if it got him a piece of pussy, a dollar or a public office he wanted.

Question of the Day: What is lower than "shitstain?" I think we're going to need a word for it soon.

THIS is now the leading contender as GOP nominee for President?

What have we become in just a few short years?

The constitution doesn't say anything about airplanes and electricity, either. So therefore we shouldn't have airplanes and electricity.

Gingrich? Gingrich? Really? That dude from the 90's?

Probably damning us all to hell, but I'm voting for Obama again.

We're still way too stupid.

I'm fed up with Gingrich. That asshole was part of the mandatory minimum that resulted in years of jail time for millions - while costing taxpayers billions. He's an elitist tyrant that would kill BILLIONS of people if he got the chance.

If that didn't loose Gingrich support of the Tea Party nothing will.

I agree that a lot of judges need another occupation,all you have to do is review some of the decisions that have been made.Some don't respect the Constitution and from their decisions never have read it.Newt didn't say he would impeach them,he said he would be in favor firing some that could be fired. He cited Thomas Jefferson firing a hundred and three.They are supposed to be the judicial arm of the government not the legislative.

Evidently your IQ is about room temperature!

This old 68 year old fat slob needs to retirer!

The Constitution was wriiten by wealthly white slave owners! Its time for a new one, for all the people!

The Constitution was wriiten by wealthly white slave owners! Its time for a new one, for all the people!

Though discussed while it was being written, there was no provision included in the Constitution to convene another Constitutional Convention.

So don't hold your breath. Amendments are the best we can do.

.... Gingrich: Back Scratcher & Back Stabber!

**** Newt as President would OPERATE as he always has.. heartily embracing a system of BRIBES,KICK BACKS & ASSASSINATIONS!!!

""Marriage" between gays and lesbians is also a matter that should be left to the individual states."

Then so should marriage between men and women. So get rid of DOMA across the land.

"I'm fed up with elitist judges" who seek to impose their "radically un-American" views, Gingrich said Saturday in a conference call with reporters.

What more does Gingrich have to do to let people know that he doesn't want to be president! He, like Cain, signed on for a book tour and now some are seriously considering him for president? He is probably as surprised as most that he has gotten as far as he has.

lol....Insane in the Membrane,

panic trying to find the "great white
conservative hope"....and time

might as well run every
conservative white male in the
country against the O'man...

still they would lose...

Referencing the Dred Scott decision, Gingrich has quoted Lincoln in support of his position that a president could simply ignore Supreme Court precedent on constitutional questions. In point of fact, Lincoln recognized the need to respect the Dred Scott decision, even though he disagreed with it. In his speech on Dred Scott, Lincoln stated as follows: "We believe, as much as Judge Douglas, (perhaps more) in obedience to, and respect for the judicial department of government. We think its decisions on Constitutional questions, when fully settled, should control, not only the particular cases decided, but the general policy of the country, subject to be disturbed only by amendments of the Constitution as provided in that instrument itself. More than this would be revolution."

Exactly

The Federal Government should have no say regarding marraige.

To go a step further, I don't think that government at any level has any business regulating MARRAIGE other than enforcing contract law when and if contracts are signed.

Indeed, it's a freebie for sure. What the hell were they thinking? I think Boehner has been drinking hard (or crying hard) again.

He could only do these things with the Congress--not as POTUS. You have Congress pass a law on any ruling. You have Congress impeach judges--that is their duty in the Constitution. He says things to rile up the base. And there is precendent in history to back him up. But it was all done with Congress.

Yeah, I've heard what the really stupid folks try to pretend but I live in reality which is generally reported in newspapers:

BOTH newspapers include birth announcements, and BOTH newspapers record the August 4th, 1961 birth of Barack Obama."

Sure Murphy, the Keystone Pipeling project is so relevant to an extension of the payroll tax cut. The Republicans are betting that you are too stupid to understand why your pay check will be a little smaller after Jan. 1. Either you are that stupid or you aren't that stupid, you choose.

American citizenship for a black muslim wasn't worth having in 1961?

It's called humor, you humorless dolt.

Here's a really serious question for you Danni. Have you ever had an original thought? Do you do any thinking involving honest, nonpartisan, inquiry?

It's called humor, you humorless dolt.

Yeah, see here's the thing about conservative humor.

It's not funny.

See: 1/2 Hour News Hour, Post 911 Dennis Miller, Free Republic et al if you need any further verification beyond your own posts.

On Topic?

Gingrich didn't really want the nom. He's just in it to make bank and sell books like Cain before him. His unconstitutional SCOTUS musings on MTP this weekend and his "eliminate the 9th" derp was Newt deliberately telegraphing his crazy side in order to lower his numbers. Nobody wants him to win. Members of his own party, people who worked with him back when he was speaker are lining up to sink his nom. Basically he became number one in the polls because the Anybody But Romney crowd like a new flavor of the month but he didn't even last that long. Really don't want to see Santorum become flavor of the month next.

Ew, just ew.

Be Well.

Yeah, see here's the thing about conservative humor.

True. We see it here all the time. They miss the subtly of humor, they miss parody 100% of the time, and don't understand irony. The one thing Conservatives seem to get, love, and understand is slapstick. Something about someone getting hurt makes them hysterical.

Yeah, see here's the thing about conservative humor.

Of course not. It pokes fun at that which you consider sacred. Duh. At least danni is honest enough to admit she endorses censorship to ensure no right wing views are espoused (in fact it's her "finest moment" according to herself). Perhaps you should try a little danni honesty, deth, even if it does force you to admit your weaker and uglier side. I mean, it is apparent enough to those who read your posts. Why not be like danni and be honest and admit it exists?

Not at all. For example, did you know that picture I posted yesterday of Newt and Paul was racist? Me neither, but this was posted on my blog about it:

How is this not racist? If I posted a pic of Obama and compared him to an angry chimp, woe and anger to me. But a white guy compared to a marshmellow man is fine? Strange standards.

That is what they got from it? A total lack of a sense of humor and the ability to understand a joke.

#80 --

As ugly as censorship is, I do give danni credit for being honest enough to admit she endorses it to push her agenda. I'm sure a lot of other lefties endorse it as well, but will never be honest enough to admit it.

You have dishonest idiots like dethspud however who pretend they are all for tolerance, for example, then call you a nazi for disagreeeing with them. Or buffalo bob (and many other members of the "party of tolerance") who claim you hate your country because you disagree with them.

At least danni embraces her demons (proudly!) and doesn't try to pretend they don't exist like dethspud et al.

#81 | Posted by goatman

Agreed, but to be fair, I hear, as I'm sure you do, the same coming from the right leaning folks in my circle of friends, family, colleagues, and clients. They don't realize that if their wishes were powerful enough to become the law of the land, they would (hopefully) realize how un-American they are and promptly grow up.

By the way Danni. Here's a free tip.

Like a poker table, there are reads that exist here. Here's just one read, "the spelling bee".

Spelling critiques belie a weak argument; should be an axiom.

Say, maybe if one were to purposefully mispell, then it might be a used as a technique for spotting the weak argument??

Nah, that'd be stupid and hillarouis.

Then again, you probably suck a poker too.
