Seconded.

I believe him to be a person of integrity, intelligence and genuine good will. I take him at his word that he wants to move the nation beyond its religious and racial divides and to return United States to that company of nations committed to human rights.

Wow. That's good kool aid, ain't it? Obama is the magical Grand Pooh Bah that is going to kiss America's boo-boos away.

Guy endorses Obama, then gives a list of reasons why he shouldn't endorse Obama.

So, one of Mitt's gang refuses to support McCain because those guys really hate McCain, and that is what this is. You can expect to see more, so it's not really news. You can also expect to see some Clinton people endorsing McCain if things continue along as they are now.

Our dear leader truly is great.

Prosperity is just around the corner.

in other words, "he says one thing about what he's doing, but i know better because i say so."

I wonder if Obama should reject his teachings.

Translation: I don't have the good sense to know a strong leader when I see one, so I'd prefer to just piss my pants in sweaty anticipation.

Even beyond the Romney campaign, this guy was legal counsel to both president Reagan and the first president Bush. WTF?

Wow.

These racists sure stick together.

/I keed!

I doubt this will get much play on the 24/7's, but I think it's a pretty significant endorsement personally.

Hmmm, did not expect this. But, hey, it doesn't make it suck.

The koolaid stuff? Not so much. Stop being jealous that our candidate is more likable than yours.

Gonna snare a lot with this one.

Well, from his past posts I would say he believes his own BS.

Typical white person?

This gives some credence to the claim that the people who rallied around Romney in the dying weeks of his campaign weren't nearly as conservative as they were anti-McCain.

Hillary vs. McCain? I am confused since it will be rainbows and puppydogs vs. turd sandwich in '08.

Yes we can (stick with whatever we percieve to be the strongest position)!

Oh wait, it's not Romney personally? Darn, I love taunting that flip-floppy bastard.

Seriously though, anybody know how barneyfifesbullet types with his fingers in his ears? I'm genuinely curious. Was there a mental breakdown when all those teeny states that don't matter canceled out Hillary's HUGE win in Ohio? Did the cool-aid start tasting funny and suddenly it's kind of hard to focus?

This guy was the legal counsel for Reagan and GHW Bush, and dean of the Catholic University law school. That would seem to give him pretty strong conservative cred.

Not to thread jack but...

Edsel: This guy was the legal counsel for Reagan and GHW Bush, and dean of the Catholic University law school. That would seem to give him pretty strong conservative cred

That's not the point I was making. He went with a less "conservative" candidate rather than McCain.

"conservative" and "liberal" are such bastardized words these days anyway, though.

This is the first "important fundamental" that he mentions:
As a Republican, I strongly wish to preserve traditional marriage...

As a conservative/libertarian who normally supports Republicans, I hope this guy and everyone who thinks that "defending marriage" is an important value would go ahead and leave the party.

/wishful thinking

niiiiiiice

Don't worry, someone has flooded TF with 10 of the same headline. I actually hope the mods don't greenlight any just to spite the asshole.

Amen, brother, in a totally non-religious way. Why is it that these same dickheads that think they need to defend marriage will be caught with their peepee's in the va-jayjay of someone not their wife? Tell you what... you look after your marriage, I'll look after mine, and if Bruce and Kevin want to shack up and call themselves married, let's let them look after their situation.

Shouldn't real Republicans be keeping their noses out of the business of the citizens? When did we get taken over by liberals? Go back to the Democrats.

I don't think it's a matter of liberals taking over; I think it's a matter of people petrified of change (being perceived or real) taking over.

Well, if there's one campaign that could sympathize with the idea that someone's choice of church might cost them the nomination....

Rodeodoc: Shouldn't real Republicans be keeping their noses out of the business of the citizens? When did we get taken over by liberals? Go back to the Democrats.

You're not the real Republicans any more. Welcome to your new party.

Also, they aren't liberals. They're religious nutjobs--the same people that the Republicans knew would make or break them in every Presidential election for the last 30 years. After that amount of pandering, is it any suprise that they turned into what they were pretending to be?

Doug Kmiec forgot to add that President Bush is also the most incompetent commander in chief since President Madison allowed the British to burn Washington DC in the War of 1812. If a President is going to engage in a war of choice, then he should at least be willing to prosecute it like a war instead of a peace corps mission.

However, Mr. Kmiec is being intellectually dishonest with himself by endorsing Barack Hussein Obama who is probably the most unpatriotic candidate for President since Aaron Burr and who is likely a closet Jihadist sympathizer. Furthermore, Barack Hussein Obama a/k/a "Nat Turner" has failed to disavow Reverend Wright's racist and hateful remarks toward our fellow Americans who happen to be Caucasion by accident of birth.

I skimmed it and saw the Hussein. Not point in reading that type of post.

for all the complaining people do about how one man (bush) screwed up our country in the world, not many of these folks seem to think one man (obama) can restore our nation...

Back when I was at Pepperdine, Doug Kmiec was a guest speaker at one of our College Republican meetings. Back then I had the feeling that he wasn't a conservative at all, so this comes as no surprise to me.

Sabyen91: I skimmed it and saw the Hussein. Not point in reading that type of post.

The fact that he took time to say Aaron Burr and Nat Turner earned the mocking sarcasm from me.

Bull/Chinashop 08!

Are we talking social conservatism, or fiscal?

Bush has been a social conservative, but fiscally very un-conservative, expanding government and generally spending gobs of money he hasn't got.

McCain may or may not be more socially liberal, but committing to continuing the war in Iraq makes it clear he's not going to be one to tighten the belt fiscally.

Obama has actually made noise about balancing the budget and stuff like that, so support from fiscal conservatives isn't shocking.
