There'll be three or four Supreme Court nominations in the next four years. Won't make a difference if we elect a "true" conservative in 2008 if the Court's packed against us by Kerry nominees.
I don't understand this on many levels.
As political strategy, it doesn't make sense. Bush's administration has been so good at standing up for common sense policies that all the environmental whackos out there who have 'environmentalism' in the top ten issues they vote on will never vote for Bush even if he turned the Rose Garden into a Hemp Garden.
Yikes!
We already know the first nominee will be pure hispandering. We'll probably get David Souters and Sandra Day O'Conners, and be lucky to get one good conservative out of the three or four.
And, where the hell were our mighty heroes in the Republican party when conservative judges were nominated for the bench over the past four years? AWOL?
Anyone that thinks conservatives have been "winning" over the past four years despite a Republican President and Congress is a fool. If we are to win we need Republicans like Reagan that advance a conservative agenda, not largely a left-wing agenda of more spending, wacko environmentalism and amnesty for illegals.
Carl Rove and company, however, apparently know that Bush's following will allow him to do ANYTHING as long as he is a Republican.
