President Bush has NOT irreparably damaged his base. YOU are doing that, not the President!!

OK, I admit it, I have been calling all the country's conservatives and telling them how bad this is... We didn't need marching orders. Conservatives smelled this one IMMEDIATELY. The President has harmed himself needlessly - because he is so out of touch with true conservativism that he didn't understand the firestorm it would cause. The fact that many here on FR agree with him only proves that there are a lot of people still willing to hold their nose for something.

My question to all people who claim to conservative is this: After we have held our noses with all the massive spending, increased size of government, over-reaching of the central government... what is left except the SCOTUS? And our wait gets us this stinker?

Dear safisoft:

I don't know you, and mean no offense. Yet I must speak frankly.

Your attitude reminds me of that of Christopher Columbus' mutinous crewmen whose patience wore out before land was cited.

Was Columbus perfect? Far from it. Was he correct in his geographical calculations? No. He was wrong.

But he was a man of destiny. Those who trusted him and followed him shared in his glory. Those who heckled him are remembered today only for their weakness and faithlessness.

Without trust, there can be no leadership. Without leadership, nothing gets done.

In voting for George W. Bush, we delegated to him a number of powers, among them the power to act as our representative in the appointment of Supreme Court justices.

I will not micromanage President Bush or second-guess him in his execution of that duty.

Selecting Supreme Court justices is the president’s job, not mine. I trust him to do his job. He has my full confidence. He has earned it.

So, not only did you not respond to my premise of the President appointing strong, conservative judges, who will NOT legislate from the bench, you now claim to speak for ALL conservatives.

Are you always this stubborn and delusional when you are proven wrong??

Can you give me ONE example of President Bush nominating an activist judge??

I didn't hink so...........
