"But this talk of the President as an enemy of the Constitution is cheap, lousy character assassination of the most Michael Mooresque description." On that, we agree.

[indcons]

Well said. We may all be at fault. However, the pro-Miers crowd uses names like DUmmie, etc. because others disagree with the president's crony choice. That said, the speculation about Miers being a lesbian and similar "below the belt" attacks are unacceptable as well.

Seminar poster or Uber-Con, you decide.

I wish more dissenters on your side had your insight and class. This is how Freepers should think. Character assassination of our President is intolerable when done by those we have fought next to (brother and sister Conservatives), for so long. I expect it out of jerks like carville and begala... not fellow Conservatives.

Thank you for your statement.

Okay. For whatever reason, mrustow was stuck on this guy. That's how I remembered the name (although the name Nicholas Stix is very close to Nikki Sixx from Motley Crue).

You're welcome, LLS. I appreciate your kind comments. There is always a place for civilized debate. Sometimes, emotions tend to run high (and I've been guilty of the same as well).

This whole debate is getting silly now. P*ssed at GWB? Dont vote for him!

Around here? :)

I think much of the "outrage" is just trolling for dissent. We have a Senate that goes along to get along, we have the cowardly cabal of RINOs.

I think those who are "outraged" are just jockeying for position for the next presidential race.

Stix and his buddies have one goal - to destroy the conservative movement with their carping since they cannot gain control of it.

I see your ad-hominem gun is locked and loaded, and your powder's all wet.

He instead says she is an originalist - which means he says that she will faithfully interpret the Constitution.

The article happens to answer that point very well: the one thing we know for darn sure is that Bush is no originalist. He said she's an originalist... and he also said she shares his views. Both of those statements can't be true at the same time.

[Don'tMessWithTexas]

If you want a return to a civil debate, you should apologize for your role in enflaming the debate and set an example.

[wideawake]

I see your ad-hominem gun is locked and loaded, and your powder's all wet.

Seeing as how the thread begins with a nasty unsubstantiated ad hominem directed at the President, your post is laughable.

I am responding to the slander of the President by pointing out exactly who his self-righteous accuser is and what circle he moves in.

I admit that I find it amusing that someone with your screenname is leaping to the defense of these slimy Israel-haters.

Seeing as how the thread begins with a nasty unsubstantiated ad hominem directed at the President, your post is laughable.

When you use words like "ad hominem" without knowing what they mean, you make yourself look dumb. The article argues why Bush's word shouldn't be taken at face value; there's nothing ad hominem about that. Answer the arguments.

I admit that I find it amusing that someone with your screenname is leaping to the defense of these slimy Israel-haters.

That's a textbook example of ad hominem attack, for example.
