Guns at Miller Campaign Rally

Via Paddy: Tea Party supporters of Alaska Senate candidate Joe Miller march with automatic weapons at a rally.

Another fun fact about Miller: he declared that extending unemployment benefits is unconstitutional.

“The unemployment compensation benefits have gotten -- first of all, it's not constitutionally authorized,” Miller, R-Alaska, said on ABC/Washington Post’s “Top Line.” “I think that’s the first thing that's gotta be looked at, so I do not favor their extension.”

It wasn't declared in the Constitution that Alaska is a state. By your logic Mr. Miller that would mean Alaska isn't a state. If Miller bothered to read the Constitution he would know Congress has the power of the purse. His conservative views may disagree with unemployment benefits. Saying Congress authorizing unemployment benefits is unconstitutional is not founded in fact. If the requirement for any Congressional legislation is it must be inexplicably stated in the Constitution then it would be impossible to pass legislation. Conservatives may think that is grand until airplanes don't fly, highways don't get repaired and things start shutting down. Miller's argument is profoundly stupid and should be treated as such.
