I just saw this great article on Huffington Post titled Iowa Republicans To Choose Their Favorite Fearmonger
It's concise (read:short and easy to read) and well worth a few minutes. I especially liked this:
It's concise (read:short and easy to read) and well worth a few minutes. I especially liked this:
"...You can choose Mike Huckabee, who said to Tim Russert on Sunday:
"But remember that [the president's] most single -- critical job is that of preserving and protecting the American people."
Huckabee is clearly referring to the Presidential Oath of Office here. Of course he totally misquoted the thing with phrasing that awkwardly reminded me of "putting food on your family." The oath says nothing about protecting and preserving the people, but rather:
"I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States."
The Constitution, it says. The president swears (or affirms) to preserve, protect and defend the Constitution. Not the people. Huckabee's stated goal, rather, is to preserve the people first and worry about the Constitution later because the evildoers will kill us otherwise..."
For the rest, click the link I provided above.
