These debates stop being about "what would I do as president" and then become about bragging and making promises that can't be kept. They all do it. That's why we should always be suspicious about things that sound too good from these candidates:<br /><br />... I'm going to fix marriage.<br />... I'm going to return us to the constitution.<br />... I'm going to oust liberal judges.<br />... I'm going to repeal ___.<br />... I'm going to scrap the tax code!<br /><br />None of these things can be done by a President, yet this is all we hear because it sounds good. And in the process we end up picking the biggest braggart rather than the person best able to achieve the most conservative result.<br /><br />We need to hear them tell us what steps they plan to take to make things better rather than tell us how they plan to fix everything in fell swoop.AndrewPricehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11312364467936820986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4425587034622601550.post-16136491647186417402011-12-16T10:41:27.046-05:002011-12-16T10:41:27.046-05:00Tryanmax: "Elections have turned too much int...Tryanmax: "Elections have turned too much into "What would Candidate X's do if he were king?" rather than "How would Candidate X uphold the law?""<br /><br />Excellent point!!rlaWTXhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09319344164726195144noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4425587034622601550.post-70344151361855102692011-12-16T07:49:22.593-05:002011-12-16T07:49:22.593-05:00I just wish Romney could explain himself better.

But I shouldn't have to make that assumption. <br /><br />Besides, I can totally see Mass. going in for gay marriage and, if that's what they want, and they go about it through proper legislation, give it to them. We don't want an executive that allows things and strikes them down based on his personal predilections. <br /><br />Elections have turned too much into "What would Candidate X's do if he were king?" rather than "How would Candidate X uphold the law?"tryanmaxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09881154741574720094noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4425587034622601550.post-14066372936400644442011-12-16T02:20:14.092-05:002011-12-16T02:20:14.092-05:00Looks like you had fun.

Ug.<br /><br />I have not looked into the gay marriage thing, but the way Santorum described it simply doesn't make sense to me. Governors are not given a choice to follow the law or pick some alternative. My guess is that Romney was right that the court ruled and it was a question of getting the legislature to overturn the court, which ain't gonna happen in Mass.AndrewPricehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11312364467936820986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4425587034622601550.post-4290557081780516382011-12-16T00:16:43.221-05:002011-12-16T00:16:43.221-05:00OT Breaking: Christopher Hitchens has passed away....OT Breaking: Christopher Hitchens has passed away.T-Ravhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10861218035729479354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4425587034622601550.post-21270678313989324422011-12-16T00:15:18.882-05:002011-12-16T00:15:18.882-05:00Don't worry.
