Remember the controversey; took a look back:
excerpt:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Souter
The nine senators voting against Souter included Ted Kennedy and John Kerry from Souter's neighboring state of Massachusetts. These senators, along with seven others, painted Souter as a right-winger in the mold of Robert Bork. They based their claim on Souter's friendships with many conservative politicians in New Hampshire.
An opinion article by The Wall Street Journal some ten years after the Souter nomination called Souter a "liberal jurist" and said that Rudman took "pride in recounting how he sold Mr. Souter to gullible White House Chief of Staff John Sununu as a confirmable conservative. Then they both sold the judge to President Bush, who wanted above all else to avoid a confirmation battle."[20] Rudman wrote in his memoir that he had "suspected all along" that Souter would not "overturn activist liberal precedents."[7] Sununu later said that he had "a lot of disappointment" about Souter's positions on the court and would have preferred him to be more similar to Justice Antonin Scalia.[7]
Only a Liberal could call a friend and peer; 'gullible' because that Liberal was 'taken at his word' by his friend. And yes, mistakes happen; certainly if you trust a Liberal.
John Sununu would make a great president. How is it; we get the Massachussets Rino. . .stuffed down our throats. Sununu; with fewer generations behind him; nonetheless; certainly passes the 'North Eastern' test; and more; because of his talent and history.
Yeah...absolutely. The NE “Republican party” sold out to the FDR view of history, culture, and economics generations ago. Most thought they died when Goldwater got the nomination in ‘64, they didn’t, they just got a lot smaller. Rudman, Chaffee, Snow, etc...they are still about 20% of the party with 60% of the influence when it comes to presidential nominations.
One of these years...the party faithful is going to figure this out. The Northeast GOP liberal, media complex is still very, very important when deciding POTUS’ nominees. Most of these people vote Democrat in the end...but still have tremendous financial/political power in the GOP.
I’m ready to bolt...When the Whigs fractured and died over the Kansas-Nebraska Act of 1854, the Republicans replaced them. We are a modern Kan/Neb Act from the same result.
Past time to look at building a third party.
