Knee Jerk Reactions

Just my thoughts.

Bush says "trust me."

Those defending the Prez's pick are beginning to remind me of C3P0 in Return of the Jedi, as Chewie strangles Lando "TRUST HIM! TRUST HIM!"

[dagnabbit]

In this nomination, I sense a little of that Harvard MBA business strategy coming in to play.

Pathetic.

[Not A Snowbird]

Well said.

[Raycpa]

the biggest negative in this choice is that it was not an energizing choice,

I believe that if she is in fact an Evangelistic Christian, this will show clearly enough that she will be attacked. This will provide plenty of energy to many on the right and we will be surprised that many on this side object because of her faith.

"Usually it is the far left that provides the knee jerk reactions, in this instance, the far right has emulated the far left."

It's not a knee jerk reaction. Nobody is saying that she's a liberal. What we are saying is that nobody (probably including Bush) really knows where she stands, and that means she should not have been picked over young, well qualified, conservative candidates.

Uh, whatever.

And there in lies the crux of the matter. Usually it is the far left that provides the knee jerk reactions, in this instance, the far right has emulated the far left.

Such is what happens 99.943% of the time.

You are just doing the opposite. You are supporting her with nothing other than her faith. By the way, anybody who thinks that "she's an evangelical" is sufficient reasoning to support her nomination should then reconcile the fact that she never got married or had children.

OMG,are you talking about the trifecta,the grand triumvirate,the impenetrable quadalageral!

President Bush,misunderestimated by both sides.

[BigSkyFreeper]

I've been thinking about that angle ever since Rush mentioned this on his show today. It's not out of the realm of possibility that the Democrats will attack her on just the Evangelical Christian credentials alone.

I sense faux praise from the Democrats. They've been gearing up for a tooth-and-nail fight over the next selection for about a week or better now.

[diverteach]

KMAJ2, you took all the words right outta my head. I was thinking exactly the same things.

[VRWCTexan]

Ok - I'll bite why pray tell does the fact that she chose to remain "single" and pursue an aggressive legal career make her less of a so called "evangelical Christian"??

Her Dad died when she was a freshman in college and she choose to stay single and continue to support her Mother who is now 93 years old.

Also she started life as a nominal "Catholic" and in 1980 sought out other spiritual meaning that, in turn, led her to the church to which she has been an active member for 25 years.

[Raycpa]

Do you understand the word IF? It is usually included in most dictionaries.

[Raycpa]

It's not out of the realm of possibility that the Democrats will attack her on just the Evangelical Christian credentials alone.

Satan works both sides of the street. Don't underestimate his power with both conservatives and liberals.

My guess is if she is a genuine biblical based Christian, she will be attacked like none has been before.

[EllaMinnow]

By the way, anybody who thinks that "she's an evangelical" is sufficient reasoning to support her nomination should then reconcile the fact that she never got married or had children.

Neither did Ann Coulter.

[Raycpa]

is sufficient reasoning to support her nomination should then reconcile the fact that she never got married or had children.

In addition to Jesus many who have followed God laws lived unmarried and without children.

Ann C. is just waiting for my divorce to become final.....

Just curious...How did you come to that conclusion?

Do you know what I know about my lawyer...? My MOL? My best friend? My dogs?

LOL...but IF you DO know what I know about the above..for some weird FReeper voodoo-like powers...please tell me where the DEC Crude Oil futures are going to peak at.

Is that within your scope?
