Not QUITE right, but close.

From a story on the potential for third-parties to affect the presidential election in certain key states:
 
''The discontented voters, who are in the mood to punish the incumbent, are thinking about casting votes for Nader and Badnarik,'' Jacobs said.
 
Well, no, not exactly.  For me, it's more a matter of not rewarding Bush than a matter of punishing him.
 
There are lots of "threats" to the foundations of society that Bush could have proposed addressing through a Constitutional amendment -- eminent domain, for one.  Private property is as much a foundation of American society as "family" is.
 
And addressing eminent domain through a Constitutional amendment would use the document to curb government powers, not individual liberties.  This would be a more appropriate use of the document.
 
But Bush didn't propose amending the Constitution to curb or end the practice of eminent domain.  No, he proposed amending it to dictate the sexes of the participants in a private contract.
 
And I'm not going to reward him for doing so.
