I just saw an amazing Mitt Romney commercial...
"I believe our laws out to be written by the people, not by unelected judges!"

Uh...Der Mitten...uh...laws should be written by, like, by the same people who voted for Sanjaya on American Idol?

By the same people who can't tell Jay Leno the name of a country whose name starts with the letter U?

By the same people who for years thought Jim Crow laws were hunky dory?

Tell me, Mitt...do you believe airplanes should be designed and built by people who like birds, instead of by engineers?

Do you believe wars should be run by civilians who've never fired a gun (except to shoot their friends in the face), instead of by experienced veterans and tacticians?

Hmmm.

Mittler, I believe you're one of the most shameless pandering whores in the current race for the White House...tied with McCain and Gulianni, of course.

1. He has such a wimpy voice--it turns me off, before I even register
what he's saying.

2. Well, I for one demand that unelected judges have special license plates
Edited on Wed Apr-25-07 07:35 PM by Old Crusoe
to identify them and to distinguish them from the general population.

That way if they try to make any laws, the rest of us can wrestle them to the ground.

Those unelected judges. You can't let 'em out of your sight for a minute!

3. Laws should be written by elected representatives
not lobbists or industry interests.

Judges don't write laws.

6. They are so full of it when they say Judges write the laws!
I wish someone would challenge them on that statement. Force them to take a government class.

But when a judge throws something out or changes the meaning of a law that supports their view they are behind that judge 100%.

5. Hmmm...Then I wonder what kind of judges...
"Multiple-choice Mitt" would appoint to the Federal bench? To the Supreme Court? "Strict constructionists"? They revel at making laws from the bench. And revel even more at the prospect of re-writing current law from the bench. The last thing we need is dozens more Scalias, Thomases, and Alitos sitting on a life appointment as a Federal judge.

Plus, if Mitt feels so strongly about "laws written by the people", just who does he want to write those laws--the president, or Congress, or at the least, both? Does he favor the "unitary executive" concept in vogue with Dub & Co.--which was previously known as the "Nixon Doctrine"?

Sounds as though he's trying hard to have it more than both ways again!:eyes:

B-)

7. Did I miss something - they aren't written by judges, but by legislators.

How can he be considered a serious candidate for President if he couldn't pass a high school civics course?
