I know. It's almost like they said "What can we do to depress the wages of American citizens?"
This is Bush's first throw of the dice. I honestly don't think he expects confirmation but the muddied waters may make the next nomination look a bit better. Just my musing.
Well said.
I've had enough "Brownie Moments" to fill 2 or 3 deli trays in the last 5 years. I like the term though.
"cronyism" is the favorite talking point for liberal moonbats and the LSM (lame stream media.) GWB will be President for three years and three months longer and in case you didn't know it, he is not running again. ;)
So all of you that are whining "he shoulda, coulda, woulda, if he'd only" crowd better get use to it and learn to enjoy your misery! ;)
I don't understand. Even the conservatives are complaining about cronyism. The reason it's a Dem talking point is because it gets them traction. Not the other way around.
"Why didn't President Bush nominate her late Friday instead of 8:00 AM on Monday?"
Because Bush and Cheney wanted to rest over the weekend.
Then on the day of the announcement, Cheney is doing Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity radio shows.
"show us the part of the constitution that gives him the power to "fix" the budget"
It gives him the power to veto. He hasn't used it one single time.
Ugh...
Congress would have to override the veto w/ a 2/3 majority.
"Another 'Brownie Moment';
T E M P O R A R Y - - - G U E S T - W O R K E R S
"
Vigilantes
Amen!
So?? They aren't allowed to rest??
Don't sit it out. Vote your conscience - whatever that might be. I voted Libertarian last time. Are they gonna win? 'Course not. But if they start to poll high enough it might eventually cause a shift in the platforms of one of the major parties (ie. they'll be forced to pander to get the votes).
What else can you do?
I'm hopeful that Bush and his advisers appreciated that fact and that this nominee is a sacrifice fly.
Food for thought.
Personally, I think Brown did the best he could with what he had to work with.
I would rather refer to these moments as "rude awakening" moments, like, the billions of $$$$ proposed to rebuild that cesspool down south, the nomination of Miers, the Gonzales thing, and OMG, the "temporary guest workers" thing, I'm sure there are more of these moments, maybe too numerous to list. Bush is beginning to lose his nerve, I'm beginning to think he just doesn't care because he doesn't have to worry about re-election.
I can't bring myself to vote Libertarian...not even as a protest vote. Those chumps are more for leaving the border wide open than the current administration.
"His selection of Roberts was criticized by conservatives as "not conservative enough". Now he is hailed as the perfect candidate"
By who? Are you saying someone who said he wasn't conservative enough has changed his mind?
What are you doing on this thread using reason and logic? Trying to get flamed? ;)
Yep. Brown did do a heck of a job.
