In fact, as the Rethugs' Big Guns expectorated in Obama's general direction at their convention, the word "Consitution" was notably absent from their stated reasons why they want to retain control of the presidency. Bush didn't mention the word. Palin didn't mention the word. Thompson didn't mention the word. Giuliani didn't mention the word. Romney referred to the Constitution as a basis for attacking a "liberal" Supreme Court.
Obama went on record at the DNC in his speech, accepting the challenge of the Oath of Office to "protect and defend the Constitituion." The Rethugs have completely ignored that one, singular, constitutionally-mandated cornerstone of the President's oath to the nation. Seems marginally relevant to me.
And it isn't accidental. The Rethugs hate the Constitution, consider it inconvenient, quaint and irrelevant, and they are asking us to agree with them.
The media outlet's use of Bush euphemisms sparks a much-needed debate on journalistic standards.
