Hory Clap! Dems just don’t get it at all

60% of Voters Say Supreme Court Should Base Rulings on Constitution

Do I even need to go on? How disgusting, how heart breaking, how utterly skull fucked is that? 4 out of 10 don’t have a SINGLE CLUE what the USA is all about. But yes, I must continue. Let’s see where those 40% live.

During his acceptance speech last night at the Republican National Convention in Minnesota, John McCain told the audience, “We believe in a strong defense, work, faith, service, a culture of life, personal responsibility, the rule of law, and judges who dispense justice impartially and don’t legislate from the bench.” Most American voters (60%) agrees and says the Supreme Court should make decisions based on what is written in the constitution, while 30% say rulings should be guided on the judge’s sense of fairness and justice. The number who agree with McCain is up from 55% in August.

While 82% of voters who support McCain believe the justices should rule on what is in the Constitution, just 29% of Barack Obama’s supporters agree. Just 11% of McCain supporters say judges should rule based on the judge’s sense of fairness, while nearly half (49%) of Obama supporters agree.

Bullseye. The Party of Feeewings, woh woh woh Feewings, woh woh woh Feewings, again in my heart ... . We are DOOMED! But check out those numbers again because it’s EVEN WORSE: 29% of dems want the rule of law, 49% want the rule of emotion, which means 22% - 1 in 5 - don’t even have an opinion. How can you not have an opinion on this? To paraphrase Rachel Ray, “How dumb is that?” (at least the nitwit quotient of the GOP is only 7% on this one in comparison. Phew!)

Agenda Driven?

In terms of how the Supreme Court currently makes decisions, just 42% of voters think the justices rule from what is in the Constitution. Thirty-percent (30%) say they are guided by a sense of fairness and justice. Democrats are more likely than Republicans and unaffiliated voters to believe the justices base rulings on the Constitution.

The survey also found that 65% of voters think the Supreme Court justices have their own political agendas. That number has changed little over the past month. Just 18% believe the judges remain impartial when making decisions.

Ok, so overall Americans aren’t TOTALLY stupid. Should have been a party breakdown on these percents too. But did you catch the previous line? Given such recent decisions like Kelo, the watered down Heller decision, and quite a number of others that were obviously activist and/or just plain WRONG, the Dems think the SCOTUS is sticking to the Constitution. In that case, what do they think ACTUAL judicial activism would look like? Hory Clap on a silver platter.

Polling data brought to you by Rasmussen Reports, “the most compromised comprehensive public opinion coverage ever provided for a presidential election.”

Not that very many people ever read this far down, but this blog was the creation of Allan Kelly and his friend Vilmar. Vilmar moved on to his own blog some time ago, and Allan ran this place alone until his sudden and unexpected death partway through 2006. We all miss him. A lot. Even though he is gone this site will always still be more than a little bit his. We who are left to carry on the BMEWS tradition owe him a great debt of gratitude, and we hope to be able to pay that back by following his last advice to us all:

1. Keep a firm grasp of Right and Wrong
2. Stay involved with government on every level and don't let those bastards get away with a thing
3. Use every legal means to defend yourself in the event of real internal trouble, and, most importantly:
4. Keep talking to each other, whether here or elsewhere

It's been a long strange trip without you Skipper, but thanks for pointing us in the right direction and giving us a swift kick in the behind to get us going. Keep lookin' down on us, will ya? Thanks.
