This dude is completely opposite of Barack Obama! This guy has little experience in politics, much like Obama, and doesn’t really shore up any loose ends, which makes VP’s so valuable during a presidential race. What does this tell me?

First thing is first, Kaine is in the lead because Obama has a very strong chance of winning Virginia which hasn’t been carried by a democrat since 1964. Virginia is obviously a conservative state and a conservative-democrat governor from that state on the ticket gives Obama a really strong chance to secure those 13 electoral votes.

Second, and maybe the most serious and real reason is that the swing or independent voters who are currently up in the air about the ‘08 race will look at Kaine and see a more balanced ticket. Whereas Barack Obama is for abortions, some ignorant voter will see that Kaine isn’t and think that actually matters. Or gun control, or taxes, etc, etc, etc. This would be purely a political pick, not based on Kaine’s actual views or positions, but based on the fact that he can get Obama some votes.

Mitt Romney is currently in the lead as the VP nod for McCain because he actually brings some added meat to the ticket. Romney is obviously very strong in economics which shores up a McCain weak point. Romney doesn’t differ with McCain on virtually every issue like Kain does with Obama. Obama is once again showing how abhorrently pathetic and weak he is in politics, and is even more showing that he will do virtually anything possible to get elected. Change and hope? Sounds like the same old Washington politics to me Obama.

The “militia” comprised all males physically capable of acting in concert for the common defense. The Antifederalists feared that the Federal Government would disarm the people in order to disable this citizens’ militia, enabling a politicized standing army or a select militia to rule. The response was to deny Congress power to abridge the ancient right of individuals to keep and bear arms, so that the ideal of a citizens’ militia would be preserved.

…Similarly, the requirement that any lawful firearm in the home be disassembled or bound by a trigger lock makes it impossible for citizens to use arms for the core lawful purpose of self-defense and is hence unconstitutional.

This is absolutely outstanding and I appreciate the court accurately interpreting the Second Amendment. But it makes me wonder where the values of our Supreme Court Justices really are, after their ban of allowing states to propose the death penalty for child rapists? Where are the “individual rights” of children who have been physically and mentally tortured by bottom feeding scum bags?

Oh well, all in all, it’s a good day so far.
