   What happens if the McCain camp catches the Obama camp in a lie? Would the prosecutor do his job and prosecute? The Show me State has been rather revealing the past few days. This partisan rancor needs to stop.

   He used the example of the sex education for kindergartners. He believes that Barack Obama supported legislation that would protect kindergartners from inappropriate touching and not a wide spectrum of sex education in that age group.

   So, um… Am I the only person that sees a public official or two openly threatening the public they are supposed to serve? You know, the TAXPAYERS? Is that not at least a little bit of a conflict of interest when they have come out and said they favor BHO? Perhaps just a smidgen over the line of fair and balanced, equal enforcement and equal protection under the law?

   Nah, must just be me…

    Well, when the “Fairness Doctrine” becomes law, at least Rush can afford to put some barges outside the territorial waters from which to broadcast Radio Free Rush.

    There’s yer basic po-mo denial of objectivity, right there.

    If “anyone” can analyze any way they want, then why do we need lawyers to do what anyone can do?

    How can a prosecutor say he will prosecute based on AN interpretation, when anyone can interpret any way they want? What makes HIS interpretation the “correct” one?

    We’re dealing with a dangerously stupid man here. Dangerous, since he has the power of the state to back him up. So stupid it’s hard to see how he ever graduated law school or passed a bar exam.

    But that’s what we get for letting Crit-Lit and Multi-culti and all the other crap the leftist academicians have been shoving down our throats.

    The MO goon squads are afraid of 527s tying Obama in with William Ayres, the full monty sex ed for kindergarten kids, and voting against the Born Alive Act. There are a lot of socially-conservative, religious people in Missouri (I know, I went to school there) and those kinds of ads can be devastating.

    So wait, if we can interpret legislation many ways, does that mean it’s a free-for-all as far as laws are concerned? Do we now get to pick and choose what legislation we obey, based upon our interpretation of it?

    All that “living, breathing” Constitution crap has really polluted this lefty’s thinking. Now laws are subject to personal interpretation? I think most judges, and most non-fascist law enforcement officers, would beg to differ.

    In Obama’s world the government gets to tell us what to think, why to think it and when to think. And most importantly, Obama gets to tell us when to shut up and stop asking questions.

    I mean do I call St Louis 911 and tell them that Obamma is a lair.
    Since the Dist attn. has stated it’s a crime to do so, I don’t think they could prosecute me for a frivolous 911 call.

    And if he/she doesn’t arrest me then I ought to be able to file a complaint with with the stae that they are not doing their job.

    All kidding aside, this exchange is a perfect example of what is wrong with the whole idea of getting law enforcement and the DA’s office involved as arbiters of truth in campaign advertising.

    “I asked if he read the legislation. He said “no.”

    Why would anyone in their right mind take a strong stand, rouse his followers, threaten lawsuits, without even reading the document he plans to defend?

    Let’s take this to a higher level. Suppose this guy decides to put together a bicycle for his kid for Christmas, but does not read the instructions. When the bicycle is finished, a bunch of loose parts are on the floor. This is what happens when you move forward with a plan without doing the homework.

    If these Dems are truly post-modernists…then they cannot prosecute or condemn anyone for telling a lie since truth is relative.

    To condemn anyone for defending what they believe to be truth is fascist.

    I thought they were anti-fascists?? So, what they will be against is anyone who does not support their idea of what truth is….and that sounds eerily close to absolute truth.

    And only a Sith thinks in absolutes!!

    LOL Vickisoup, It would be great if some real news broke about Odumbo and Rezko but I think the one that needs to worry the most is Gov. Bag-o-chips. Then he’ll turn on what he knows about Obambi. Hell, they might even be able to take down Daley.

    Of course. Any interpretation of legislation is automatically grounds for a suit if it differs from a moonbat view.

    Even if the moonbat changes its mind from day to day, Republicans would still be wrong, just because.
