ParticipantI would rather spend $30 billion to help out the FBs in America and 10 times more, each year, to continue the war in Iraq.
Doug Kmiec endorsed Obama.
http://online.wsj.com/article/SB120641048754261255.htmlOn Sunday, Mr. Obama was also endorsed by a lesser-known but more surprising figure — a constitutional law professor who headed the Office of Legal Counsel for both Presidents Ronald Reagan and George H. W. Bush.
Doug Kmiec is a respected professor at Pepperdine Law School, where Ken Starr serves as dean. He certainly hasn’t shown much previous inclination towards political apostasy — earlier this month he was still serving as co-chair of the Mitt Romney campaign’s Committee on the Courts and the Constitution.Then he moves to the crux of his decision, which comes down to the Iraq War: “Our president has involved our nation in a military engagement without sufficient justification or clear objective. In so doing, he has incurred both tragic loss of life and extraordinary debt jeopardizing the economy and the well-being of the average American citizen.”
Mr. Kmiec then goes on to assert: “The office of the presidency, which it was once my privilege to defend… has been distorted beyond its constitutional assignment.”

ParticipantGood for McCain. No permanent bailout! It sounds like he is getting up to speed on this issue: “ ‘We must have greater transparency in the lending process so that every borrower knows exactly what he is agreeing to and where every lender is required to meet the highest standards of ethical behavior,’ he said.
Mr. McCain did not rule out a bailout, instead saying any such aid should be temporary and ‘no assistance should be given to speculators.’
‘Any assistance for borrowers should be focused solely on homeowners, not people who bought houses for speculative purposes, to rent or as second homes,’ he said.”

ParticipantOf course you would PW, but you’re the sort with no skin in the game. Thus, easily drawn into lawyerly dithering. We’re in the process of unscrewing something another nitwit democrat foolishly created thirty years ago. Some of us are unwilling to accept the head-in-the-sand approach of the Clinton years.
McCain is wrong about a lot of things, but not on these two subjects, and not nearly as wrong in general as the opposition.
