Where is the Constitution?

Have you heard much about the Constitution from any of the presidential canditates? I haven't. Has anybody questioned them about their understanding of the Constitution? If so, please direct me to it because I would like to know what they think about that fine document.

We've heard about health care, tax cuts for the rich, gas prices, wages, race, Iraq, hope, change and who is a bigger liar thousands of times. We'll hear all that and more from now until November. It's getting old.

I know, if you're a liberal you think conservatives are a bunch of idiots that lack the intellect to understand the Constitution. I say that's bunk. If you can read you can understand what they wrote. Maybe we are just so honest that we are incapable of twisting logic in order to read into the Constitution what isn't there.

Politicians for years have passed unconstitutional legislation, over and over again. Does that make it right? If people do the wrong thing over and over, does that mean the next guy should do more wrong things? I don't think so.

In his piece titled Political Loathsomeness, Walter Williams said we should replace the oath of office with "I accept the office of president". That pretty well sums up the current political atmosphere.

It would be cool to have the authors of the constitution here for a day of debate with the candidates.

It's probably just as well. When the libs use the constitution, they misuse and misquote it. Like "The separation of church and state clause" in the constitution. I can't find it in the document. The right to bear arms means that the government can take away your guns. Go figure.

If the liberals debated the founders, the libs would try to convince them that they thought what they didn't think and meant what they didn't mean. It would be hilarious.
