The Clintons were MAJOR targets of hatred and fear by these individuals.

(Incidentally, I think the majority decision is little more than an example of right-wing “judicial activism”. The Constitution–AS WRITTEN BY THE FOUNDING FATHERS–states, quite clearly, that “a well-regulated militia” is the sole basis of the 2nd Amendment. There quite simply is NO guarantee–outside of the militia clause–for an individual’s right to bear arms. The Court’s majority decision relies on an INTERPRETATION that doesn’t exist in the Constitution’s WORDS, and, according to the philosophy of “judicial activism”, a judge rules NOT on the actual words but an interpretation. Obviously, when it’s something that the right-wing supports, it’s not “judicial activism”.)

How Hillary can stomach BO is beyond me.

BO really stinks, doesn’t it, I mean doesn’t he?

PUMA.

Over at S.D. Watch, Todd Epp has reported a truly breath-taking story that has the potential to derail Barack Obama’s and Hillary Clinton’s big Unity push just as it’s beginning.

… the Clinton campaign offered a major fundraiser to the state (SD Dem) party in exchange for two superdelegate votes …

Todd promises more details, and I, for one, am waiting at the edge of my seat. Given what he’s reported so far, this seems to be an ongoing offer from Clinton rather than something that faded away after the June 3 primary.

An intra-party dispute erupted Thursday during the SD Dem Convention in Oacoma. Clinton delegate and Rapid City alderman Malcom Chapman – who introduced Hillary at many of her SD appearances – became angry with SD Dem party chairman Jack Billion for resisting Clinton’s offer. This says to me that Chapman is still trying to proffer such a deal. Indeed, Epp quotes Chapman as saying he has “almost cut the deal” with the Clinton campaign.

Nevermind, I guess, that Chapman almost certainly lacks authority within the SD Dem Party to strike such a deal.

This revelation raises a lot of questions. Here’s what I think they are. Please write in with more analysis.

**Do super-delegates Cheryl Kandaras Chapman (Malcom’s wife & the SD Dem Party’s vice chair) and Sen. Tim Johnson, count as the 2 super-dels sought by Clinton? Or is she seeking 2 additional? (While Johnson endorsed Obama, he has pledged to cast his vote for whomever won SD’s primary, and that’s Hillary, as we all remember well.)

**Are the Clintons mounting a 50-state strategy of their own, seeking similar deals across the nation? If so, does that mean that she’s still aiming for her party’s nomination? What else could it mean?

**Now that word is out about this little escapade, on the eve of the Dems’ big Unity push, how quickly will it sour already fragile relations between Obama and Clinton?

**If you’re Tom Daschle, are you furious or bemused? (Tom, feel free to answer this one directly.)

**If you’re Stephanie Herseth, is this why you skipped the party convention? (It would scare me away were I in her shoes.)

**If you’re Tom Daschle, does this prompt you to make any additional efforts to retire the SD Dem Party’s notorious and seemingly endless debt?

I went to the NRA’s website after the Supremes’ ruling yesterday and Obama’s vote on that 2004 bill was mentioned during one of their radio shows.

Obama was one of the VERY FEW who voted in favor of prosecuting a Chicago man for using his legally registered gun on a thief who broke into the man’s home trying to rob him (and God knows what else.)

Now Obama doesn’t know which side to pick.

His judgment is WAY too unstable to be President.

In the locker room, cross-dressing for the general election, that’s where. He’ll come out with a tough on crime, moderate pro-gun costume.

Or as I call him, Foxy Reagan…
