Both parties also have people worthy of their positions. Virginia's senators, for example, Webb and Warner. I have no complaints with either. And there is a good chance that John Warner will be replaced by Mark Warner, a man of amazing skill and accomplishment. So, it's not all bad.

I think I heard an Obama quote on the 2nd Amendment and the DC gun ban. If I heard him correctly, he said that the Constitution granted the right to bears arms, and so it could be taken away...
Hold the phone. That is one gigantic "if" at the front of that last sentence. Lets see his quote. I will bet dollars to donuts that his meaning wasn't remotely what you have implied here.

I was shocked--the very reason that some of the Founders opposed the Bill of Rights was their fear that someday, someone might actually think that the government granted Rights. Now we have a presidential candidate who does not even understand that the Rights were unalienable--NOT granted by governments--but endowed by their Creator.
If he understands so little of the Constitution how in the world will he " uphold and defend" it from all enemies foreign and domestic?
He is a domestic enemy of the Constitution, as are also McCain, and Clinton. Yet one of these three WILL be President. God save the Republic.
Like I said, lets see the quote. There is no way you have stated his opinion accurately. No way.
