Bush the anti-states rights states rightster
Just thought it might be interesting to compile the areas in which bushco pushes states rights vs federal rule over states. Put all together might be a handly list to refer to when discusssing bush with undecided folks... not just due to his inconsistency... but the the general pattern of political opportunism - indicating he is neither - just looking for the most quick mileage.

States Rights....
-The right to fly the confederate flag

Federal Dominance.....
-Energy Regulations - take away from states (and a bonus - give the fed. gov. the right to "take property" (imenent domain)... on behalf of energy companies for energy transmission.
-FMA


What say you - care to brainstorm a couple of lists up?

1. Hypocrites.
All I heard growing up was 'states' rights, states' rights!" But when it comes to telling us who to marry ... then they want to use the Constitution to force their beliefs on us.
