The constitution is an old document that spoke to the people of its time- the ideas and intent may well be timeless but strict application and interpretation is as misguided as those who deny evolution because of their strict interpretation of an other famous document written almost two thousand years age.

I agree that both parties have ignore the people and that lobbyist are a cancer to a democracy, but you will not change the situation by sending a constitutional fundamentalist to the white any more that we would change a religion by resorting to fundamentalism. The future must be changed by visionaries who understand the subtleties and nuances of today and are prepared to shape the future with a clears understanding of the present.]]> Comment on Immigration increases cause load on resources tag:rant.wyattcox.net,2007-12-22:723424 Wyatt Cox 2007-12-22T12:22:58Z 2007-12-22T12:22:58Z
It's this pesky piece of paper called the Constitution.

Both parties have made a practice to ignore it regularly.  Mr Paul has consistently applied the test of constitutionality to every vote.

EVERY candidate in BOTH parties panders to special interests touting unconstitutional measures.  Paul doesn't.

I recognize that it is highly unlikely that he will win.  However, if he can bring issues to the table that the "Neo con machine" won't mention (and the average Joe Sixpack won't hear from his nightly dose of misinformation) then it's totally worth it.

The point is a stand for principles.  Something that few if any elected politician in Washington has today.  I know, principles, just like morals and honesty, are outdated in this "screw everone else, gimme mine" world today...but I remember a quote by Alexander Hamilton...

Those who stand for nothing fall for anything...
