Perkins praises McCain remarks
Family Research Council President Tony Perkins, a leader of the social conservative community, is a fan of today’s remarks:
From a release….
“Senator McCain’s speech will be well- received by millions of Americans alarmed by activist judges who undermine the rule of law by legislating from the bench.
“We applaud Senator McCain for his support of federal judges who will apply the U.S. Constitution. He is correct in criticizing both federal judges who presume to ‘make law instead of apply it’ and the obstructionist Senate Democratic leaders who continue to deny hearings to well-qualified judicial nominees.
“The Senate Democratic leadership views the judiciary as a tool to dictate social policy. If they can’t pass a hate-crimes law, they will support judges who will install one from the bench. If they can’t overturn the Defense of Marriage Act, they will find a judge to declare it unconstitutional.
“Essentially, the Democrats in the Senate have committed themselves to obstruct and pervert the judicial process until the time, they hope, when a liberal president can nominate judicial activists to reshape the social policy landscape of America.
“I thank Senator McCain for the commitment he made today to ‘restore the standards and spirit that give the judicial branch its place of honor in our government…. Every federal court should be a refuge from abuses of power, and not the source’ of them.”

this article touches on one of the two reasons i am voting for mccain…i really am ron paul supporte but hey…i take what is given to me…and hopefully we can get a more conservative judiciary.
i really hope that the one or all of the three liberal supremes calls it quit during mccains presidency(..that’s right you libs, neither one of your candidates is electable!)
so it was said here…so it shall come to pass!

If you think the Democratic Heavily Stocked Congress and the growing Majority in the senate would allow one of your wacko right wing, middle class hating, judges, you are dreaming. McCain will consult and capiculate as he always has and always will. This is just some smoke he needs to blow before he is able to take stock of the Hillary Democratic he will need to beat Obama. They are more than willing to vote McCain but he has to promise no more Bush.
keep drinking your kool-aid clownboy…we’ll see
oh…and no one hates the middle class more than democrats…i mean losers…like yourself

Throw B.O. ‘Under the Bus” before he does it to You …
Let me spit in your face.
Let me poke you in the eye.
Let me call your mama names.
Let me be the president. B.O. approves of this message.
McCain is fine.
He will win due to democrats befriending terrorists and americans see through
Global Warming Hoax and democrats ENEMYS of ENERGY production in our own country.
Let me spit in your face.
Let me poke you in the eye.
Let me call your mama names.
Let me throw you under the bus.
Let me be the president.
B.O. approves of this message.
If you cannot see that Democrats are the Global Warming Party (False Religion)
And you don’t see the connection between environmental extremism and a lack of energy
development in the U.S.A and resultant high fuel prices then you cannot be helped and you
cannot help to solve the problem.
Global warming a Hoax, next you will try to convince me there were weapons of mass destruction in Iraq and the Dems managed to move them out prior to invasion..
Yee-hah! That’s it guys - today was as close to a Presidential election as you are going to get this year and now there ain’t no doubt about it!
Hail to the new Commander-in-Chief - Barack Obama!!!!!!
DEMOCRATS WANT IT BOTH WAYS: THEY WANT LIBERAL JUDGES ON THE BENCH SO THEY WILL LEGISLATE FROM THE BENCH ON SOCIAL ISSUES WHEN THEY CANNOT GET THEM PASSED IN CONGRESS!!!!! MCCAIN IS ABSOLUTELY RIGHT!!!!
JUDGES ARE SUPPOSE TO RULE ON THE EXISTING LAW AND NOT DECIDE CASES BASED ON THEIR
PERSONAL ATTITUDES AND BELIEVES!!!!! THIS IS WHY WE HAVE SEPARATE BRANCHES OF GOVERNMENT!!!!!
I can’t tell you how much I am enjoying tonight - watching the sad racist inbreds slide around in their own hateful vomit and bile as it slowly sinks in that an uppity ni*ger is going to be the boss. The rest of the civilised world is so far past the race-and-religion backwardness of redneck America, Fox is actually a comedy programme for us.
Unfair. Unbalanced. Not even news.
Senator John McCain will certainly get our votes for President of the United States of America. No one else is qualified to occupy the highest office in the land. We are proud Americans and love our country. Hillary nor Obama are qualified and the Clintons certainly do not need to re-enter the Oval Office in Washington, DC
McKeebop,
You must be able to hire a house full of employees to do all you housecleaning, cooking, and entertaining for you. Not to mention your luxury automobiles! Yaught and airplanes!
You don’t sound as if you have to contemplate how you are going to live, so you are anxious to give all your income in taxes to others the next 4 years.
Some of us “red necks” aren’t so Well Off. Never have been and probably never will be!
We don’t worship the “God” of greed which allows some people to be so LIBERAL.
Instead we worship the true God of LOVE and are all for helping people, but not keeping them on welfare for life–paid for by more and more taxes (for stuff from the cradle to the grave) in the future by both LIberal Dems–IF they are elected!
However, it is my openion neither Dem. shall make it into the Oval Office in 08!
They make us vomit and sick to our stomachs with Lies, Fighting, and the truth coming out about their Friends, Family and Associates! No matter their race– they can’t stick to business, have extremely poor judgement, and can’t speak or write worth anything more than a 3rd grade level. If it weren’t for teleprompters they both would really STINK! This is the Change Your kind wants now, but IF you get it you will see it’s not all it was cracked up to be!!! We may be rural, people of Faith, and average good people, but additionally we can “READ people”—an art you PHD. MA. & other Degreed people know nothing about–because you have no common sense! So when & IF Obama or Clinton get in the White House –you will have made your bed and can lay in it!!!
I’d like to move out of the country If that happens, but will just stop purchasing anything new for the next 4 yrs. And will enourage all of my friends to do the same. Then we’ll see how well the economy is with all of the increased TAXES added to the money problems!!!
Thank you very much! Good night, Daddy Warbucks!

So McKeebop, what are you going to do after Obama finally gets the DEM nomination and the old term “Reagan Democrats” now becomes “McCain Democrats”? Guaranteed you’ll hear THAT term by October from the media.
You can’t win without them..and many of those people would rather vote Republican or stay home in November.
The biggest winner last night was John McCain. It erks me that we will get 4 more years of Bush.
Howard Dean is an idiot and appears to be working for the GOP.
How many times can Americans get it wrong? It appears that this country is just determined to self-destruct. I guess it’s true, what goes up must come down. This has happened with every great society in history.
Again, the DNC is pushing to put the weakest candidate they can find to run against the republicans.
mccain will by far win over obama in the general.the republicans and the hillarys supporters will vote mccain.even the votes that obama has gotten that are republicans will vote mccain, because they register dem , for a day just to knock out hillary, but they will vote mccain for the big day.so no matter what obama will not be president.
i am a hillary supporter, but would vote mccain, because i am strongly against rev. wright ,william ayers, redzko,frank davis,we turn to guns and religion,we are just jelious so obama says,obama would be by far worse than bush. besides mccain is showing that he is a little different than bush.
McCain’s appeal is that he embraces America’s core values and has done so throughout his career. He doesn’t want to change the foundation of the country, he wants to mold the government to better meet our needs. His remarks about the courts and their responsibility to interpret the law, not influence it is both profound and appealing to the general electorate.
Unfortunately, McCain doesn’t get a lot of press coverage in the popular media but he has the opportunity to make small impacts in a lot of places this summer while the Democrats battle each other.
Right now he looks very much like he did a year ago when no one thought he had a chance. When he came out of nowhere and outperformed Giuliani, Thompson, Romney and Huckabee he stunned the nation. Let’s see if he can make a splash the same way he did this spring during the general election.
