Huckster And McCain Actually Think They Are Federalists
I am watching the debate right now and can’t believe the BS I’m hearing. Huckabee says he supports a federal abortion amendment, a gay marriage amendment, and then in the very next sentence says he is a small government conservative.
Then later He and McCain, the two most anti-federalist candidates ever, both claim to be federalists. Huckabee even went as far as to say that Hamilton was wrong and Jefferson was right.
What a joke! Compared to the Huckster, Alexander Hamilton was a damn Confederate!
More from:
Rob Huddleston- “It’s ironic that the debate last night was held in the Reagan Library, because the Republican establishment has turned its back on Reagan conservatism and this general election is going to have Reagan-like results. Only it won’t be the Republicans who are celebrating.”
Sean Braisted- “I don’t care all that much about the Republicans race, but I do have to say one thing. Even though I think McCain is the best of the GOP candidates, I do think he is wrong about Romney’s position on the Iraq war.”
Sadcox- “Seriously, are these ass clowns the best we can muster up to represent us?“

The whole Federalism argument didn’t work for ol’ Fred, I don’t know why they are bothering with it. While the Conservative Inteligensia might care about it…does the average blue-collar Conservative care all that much about 220 year old arguments like Federalism vs Anti-Federalism.
Oh, and btw, I know I’m showing my ignorance here, but could someone help me out. Aren’t so-called “Federalists” more or less anti-National Government? And weren’t the Federalist papers written by Hamilton, et al, who were more in favor of a stronger centralised Government than the anti-Federalists? Its something that has always puzzled me a bit.
I believe in federalism, but you will never hear me bash Hamilton. He was truly a great American. I think they were all federalists to a certain extent, even Hamilton and Washington and Adams and all of those guys. They just differed in their interpretation of how much power should and should not be centralized. If Hamilton were alive today, he would probably be labeled an extreme federalist kook and laughed at. He believed in a central govt. powerful enough to hold together the union, but he wasn’t for the behemoth we have now.
If they were alive today, Hamilton would line up pretty well with Ron Paul.
Jefferson would be blogging under an assumed name, slamming Paul and Hamilton daily for wanting such a strong central government.
My screen name comes from Federalist Paper #9.
