1. This is absolutely ridiculous. What about the GOP and their ADORATION of "States Rights?"

Damn, they're all evil and conniving in the GOP. :nuke:

2. Like everything else with the GOP

It only counts when they're winning. After all, Gore vs. Fla was a states rights issue.

3. Gee, I guess the pukes have abandoned their cherished states' rights meme

Who knew they were secret federal gov't wannabes all along :shrug:

4. McConnell is a big fat jerk..

The repuks get dumber and dumber every day. Norm Coleman got into some trouble during the election season but it got dropped off the radar. Money and clothes from contributors?

5. Because Bush stacked it with conservative ideologists

Whatever happened to the state's rights mantra from the rightwingers?

6. 'States Rights' has always been a smoke screen

First to obscure the desire for continued slavery...
