I think GHW Bush appointed Ruth Bader Ginsburg. I wonder whether or not Barbara Bush may have encouraged that piece of nonsense. BB was pro “choice”. Ginsburg strikes me as a rather silly, privileged woman.

Uh, no. She was a Clinton pick. Dad Bush did put Souter on the court, though. Yeah, that was a mistake.

Your link doesn't support your assertion.
“I don’t want any kid doing what I tried to do 30 years ago,” Bush said in recordings made when he was governor of Texas and aired Monday on ABC’s “Good Morning America.” “And I mean that. It doesn’t matter if it’s LSD, cocaine, pot, any of those things, because if I answer one, then there will be another one..."

You're busted.

What are you talking about? Let's be honest.

He said he doesn't want kids doing what he tried to do 30 years ago. If he hadn't used these things, he would have said so.

You're busted.

Why jump to assuming cocaine when pot is far more likely? Heck, Palin admits to toking up in the past. It seems the difference between Republican and Democrats when it comes to past drug use is Republicans just admit their past mistakes, while ‘Rats feel the need to make up ridiculous excuses.

This is just another reason to vote for McCain. Obama will appoint the most radical judges ever in the history of the United States. If you think Clinton appointments are bad you haven't seen anything yet. The average knuckle dragging Democrats or others who support Obama don't have a clue of what's in store in the judiciary. And the effects of the types he appoints will last a very long time. So many of the American public are staggeringly stupid that it depresses me to think about it. God help us.

Dear Sarah,

It’s obvious that your partner is not going to go after this guy...And let’s face it... this is your shining moment, as I doubt you’ll ever resurface if your team loses...

So, please. Please for all of us here at FR who have pulled our hairs out, agoninizing over McCain’s passivity.

GO AFTER THESE PEOPLE!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ask him about his foreign donors...his ties to radicals...his plan to increase our taxes...his association with Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac...

Have someone ask you if you use an ear piece during debates. And then answer that you don’t, but you know that it’s used and you see nothing against it...

Tell the media about Obama’s tax returns...where he’s heavily invested in Oil companies who do business in Iran...

Have someone ask you about Obama’s birth certificate...PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And say that you’re SURE that the FBI has vetted ALL the candidates....

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE....!!!

If you’re in this to win...then let’s win...

nikos

Obammy will find something to the left of Ginsburg, and the spineless Repubs will probably roll over for it.

Yeah, regulator, I do think we have a better chance at a conservative judge with McCain than we do with Hussein.

Reagan gave us O’Connor and Kennedy (sadly) but he also gave us Scalia.

GHW Bush gave us Souter (sadly) but also gave us Thomas.

GW Bush gave us Roberts and Alito, both have turned out to be good.

Can you name a good justice appointed by any recent Democrat President? Nope.

Wow, really? Boy, what a rousing endorsement...

Forget it, MegBot. He'll dump another Souter on us. McJerk has been screwing Republicans (um, you know, us "bigots") for Oh, 'bout 25 years now.

No reason to believe he'll stop. It's part of his shtick.

It is my opinion that McCain’s choices will be more conservative than Obama’s..given their histories and voting records.
Of course a dem senate would make it very difficult to get a conservative confirmed.

The first guy was planned and the second was rammed down his throat after his office lady, Ms. Miers, was laughed out of the room.

McNutjob is a '70s liberal. Another O'Connor is about the best you can expect from him. If you think Cindy McCain and her friends are rabidly against Roe, then you know nothing about upper class Phoenix.

Right now there is an email running around Arizona. It castigates Palin's daughter for not running to Planned Parenthood to "learn about her body". I got it from the registered Republican females in my family, who actually side with that notion (and um, they are all in Arizona). they aren't atypical.

Maricopa County may be a Republican stronghold, but its not religious conservatives - more economic, libertarian conservatives. Tucson is actually quite a bit to the Left of that. It's no accident that Sandra Day O'Connor or her sister Ann Day think the way they do - that's the norm there, actually. Sandy Babee went even further left when she hit DC; must be impressionable.

So that is the mindset of the place where he allegedly comes from.

If Here's Johnny appoints any one to the right of Souter, it will be because he's blackmailed into it by the remaining Republicans in the House. But don't worry, there won't be many of them, and he doesn't mind that in any event. The other side is where his heart is.

BTW, Mr. Recovering, whadja think of Loserman making a speech at the RINO-vention? That give you any clue about his "reach across the aisle" appointments strategy?

Believe what you want.

That's easy. You come off as a martinet, parroting the party line. In the vernacular, a "bot". Your homepage reinforces that notion to me.

Sorry if you're offended. I'm offended that this back-stabbing cretin is the so-called nominee, and I don't trust him at all. He's a vain nut who just wants to win so he can finally be a Big Man, which is the story with his predecessor. And one of the reasons most of the people in the Republican Party are suffering from a political version of Beaten Wife Syndrome.

Personally I'm not drinking the Kool-Aid. Maybe Charlie Brown never figured out that Lucy wasn't ever going to stop pulling away the football, but the rest of us can take the hint.

Right now, I'm looking forward to Palin-Bachmann 2012. Maybe we can rebuild from the wreckage.

Yeah, I know what you say is true. And I also am aware you never were able to name ONE good SCOTUS appointment from Clinton.

And there were few good district/circuit judges added by Carter.

So yes, I’ll believe history: Republicans have a better record at appointing SCOTUS justices than ‘rats.
