This writer starts out Sore-Loserman style...

WASHINGTON - President Bush wasn't exactly shy about pushing his agenda when he took office two years ago, even after a disputed election in which he lost the popular vote....etc.

It seems that this David Jackson of the Dallas Mourning News hates President Bush. It seems every article he writes about Bush is always very slanted anti-Bush...

after a disputed election in which he lost the popular vote

Geez... get over it already.

I can't wait until after the 2004 landslide so that these whiners will just shut up!

"After the Democratic Senate confirmed 100 of the president's judicial nominees in just 17 months, I had hoped that the White House would reconsider such a divisive step as this renomination," said Sen. Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., the top Democrat on the Judiciary Committee. "This is a nomination that divides the American people and divides the Senate."

Actually, the Liberal 'RATS will USE this to Divide Amerika and make it sound like Pickering is a racist, etc. If they keep repeating the lie over and over, people will believe it. That's their approach. I hope President Bush stands up to them and exposes their Divide Amerika approach. They think that the GOP won big in 2002? If they keep up their act of the past two year for the NEXT two years, "they ain't seen nothin' yet!" The GOP, with Bush at the wheel, will expand their positions in the House, the Senate and Bush will be re-elected, imho.....

President Bush at the wheel !

[MeekOneGOP]

Amen !!

[George W. Bush]

Bush is right in going for broke. He wouldn't be as free to move forward on all fronts if the likely Demo nominees for 2004 weren't so weak.

It's interesting to watch the WH strategy unfold. They're moving forward on all fronts simultaneously. I think the Democrats are overwhelmed by the Bush offensive.

Analysts said the Pickering revival, as well as the tax cuts, simply reflect the interests of Mr. Bush's conservative supporters and contributors.

No. What Bush is doing now reflects his own core values. He is a man of principle and strong convictions who believes in lower taxes and judges who will interpret the constitution as it is, and not make it up as they go along.

Are these guys ever gonna figure this man out? (rhetorical question......of course not).

[ohioWfan]

I think the Democrats are overwhelmed by the Bush offensive.

.........and their own stupidity.

Seriously, they wouldn't recognize the courage of conviction.......doing what's right, and not what poll results tell you....... if it smacked them in the face.

[prognostigaator]

Note the Dallas Morning New's "focus group".

People for the American Way.

The Americans for Democratic Action

Alan Lichman, professor.

Demo Sen. Conrad.

Other 'regular , ordinary' Sen. Edwards type people.

"They're moving forward on all fronts simultaneously. I think the Democrats are overwhelmed by the Bush offensive."

The dimms are going to be all of the media whining, disappointed and complaining about everything the President says and does. This is going to wear on the public's last nerve rather quickly.

I really hope that Judge Pickering gets throught the judicial committee and out into the full Senate for a vote.
I really want to see him confirmed, but I also want to see which RINOS are with us and which are against us: i.e. Collins Snowe, Chafee, McCain & Specter...if he is not!

~~~Seriously, they wouldn't recognize the courage of conviction.......doing what's right, and not what poll results tell you....... if it smacked them in the face.~~~

Most people who are morally bankrupt and corrupt, believe that all others are as well.

The leaders in the Dem party who are calling the shots (Hill, Bill, McCauliffe and Shrum) have no frame of reference to be able to evaluate someone with integrity, values, honor and a well-centered morality. This type of person is an anomoly to the liars and thieves, and MUST be destroyed. Their methods will become ever more shrill and desperate as they attempt to neutralize President Bush, who is basically, a good man, imo.

Headlines:

The New York Times Slimes Judge Pickering
SENATOR EDWARDS OPPOSES CONFIRMATION OF JUDGE PICKERING. February 26, 2002
ACLJ Calls on Senate to Approve Nomination of Judge Pickering and Urges Senate to Uphold the Constitution and the Democratic Process. ...

There is a "hit memo" prepared by one Ralph Neas that has been lip-synched by the Democrats, and now by the Editors. Mr.Neas makes a thing of such attack pieces, having done so on Judge Bork, Clarence Thomas, and a host of others.

... Democrats Resort to Misrepresentation and Distortion in Rejection of Judge Pickering.
... 5th Circuit, it became clear that the Senator Leahy and his fellow Democrats on the committee had no interest in the facts or Judge Pickering's qualifications. ...

>The far-left's carefully orchestrated attacks on Judge Pickering have been particularly nasty, smearing him as a racist without ever actually mentioning the word. His real record — one of following precedents as a judge, testifying against a leader of the Ku Klux Klan in 1967 and putting his words about racial reconciliation into action — is an inconvenience liberal interest groups have chosen to ignore.......... Exit stage right Senator Byrd....

The Socialist Left’s agenda to keep judges who exclude all conservative rules of law is the intent. Folks, we have a President who respects the Constitution of the United States and the American people he represents...What a breath of Fresh Air!

I dunno, justshe......yesterday lil tommy called the tax plan obscene........how much more shrill can that little twit get?

They look bad to the average American, and IMO, the more they talk, the better the President looks.

I'm so tired of reading "news" articles that contain line after line after line of Democrat responses. Doesn't matter what Bush does, there willbe at least four or five smash-mouth comments from the leftist extremists.

[riversarewet]

"They sort of take the steamroller approach," said presidential scholar Robert Dallek. "It's like, 'We won that election, and we have a mandate, and we're going to follow up on it.' "

And the problem with it is?

Overreach? If President Bush gave the socialist everything they wanted they would still be complaining, because that is what they do.

[Alissa]

This should be on the editorial page, yet it's posted on their web site under Lastest News. YET again another example of media bias.

[Paulus Invictus]

Above all the rest of these leftist groups, the People for the American Way are the worst. It should be People for the Communist Way. That would be far closer to the truth of their goals. Lots of Hollyweirds are on their board.

[Cicero]

When clinton proposed some hairbrained spending plan, these guys would be all over the Republicans for partisan obstructionism if they objected to it. When he proposed some far out Communist for the Supreme Court, they said the Republicans had a duty to confirm her.

I seem to remember that clinton, who was not even elected with a majority vote, came out with five Executive Orders on his first day in office, among them a sweeping bill funding baby-killing overseas with US tax dollars and a new policy (which he was later forced to moderate) forcing gays on the military.

Now the shoe is on the other foot, and their left-wing bias is clear for all to see.

[katana]

Bingo! It doesn't matter one damn bit what the President does or says, he will still be vilified and attacked by these people. So, screw them and the horses they rode in on. May as well be hung for a sheep as for a lamb.
