The best results, of course, would be that Harriet Miers is who the President says she is and the type of judge we want, and that confirmation is quick enough to allow her to vote (correctly, and maybe decisively) on the 2 pending abortion cases.

The outrage that would come forth would target those RINOs for defeat, even if it meant losing to the Dems. The very real possibility is that Republicans could lose the Senate and possibly the House, which of course, would be a disaster from which we might not be able to recover.

So be it. The GOP has proven that they are unfit to govern.

Dang, I was just going to post one myself. Maybe I will call my vanity "Why NOT Harriet Miers"?

LOL, Maybe I'll post a "Harriet Miers, Why wasn't I consulted?"

How many GOP senators does it take to seat a openly Pro Life nominee on the Supreme Court? 55, 60, 65, 70? How many stinking senators do we need?

I suppose you'd be PRAISING his nominations about now if history was just a bit different. I suppose you will be voting Hitlery in 2008?

"Harriet Miers, Why wasn't I consulted?"

Now that's funny. I think that title was implicit in about 98% of the posts today.

Define "GOP Senators".....if you count the LIEberal RINOs, it's pretty evenly split. Start with your own local/state elections and purge all out of the party who don't support your ideology, that's where to begin.

Nope. Shillary will not be getting my vote; but neither will the GOP if the don't get a REAL conservative to run.

I'll probably vote third party for POTUS, or not at all for the top of the ticket, considering that the GOP has NO b@lls and doesn't care about conservatives.

You ain't kidding, I was lurking on the main thread and couldn't believe my eyes. It was an advertisement for the need of Ritalin.

I didn't know anything about her until today and so far the Christian Groups are all lining up behind her, and I would challenge anyone to post all the names of the Liberals Bush has appointed to the Courts............ crickets chirping....... but he waits until the most important nomination to pick one...... I don't think so!

Thanks - err, uh, I think.  ;^D

Actually, I thought my point was to long to post on one of the other threads and would really be sort of off topic.  I just wanted to look at the nomination from a strategy standpoint, not debate the qualifications of the nominee.  IMHO, we don't yet have enough factual information to form conclusions about her qualifications or views.  Sorry if the post irritated you, but I hope that others might find it worthwhile to consider.

A vote for third party is same as a throw away or an extra vote for Hitlery. Guess you weren't around when Perot cost the GOP a few votes, huh?

"So be it. The GOP has proven that they are unfit to govern."

You've made my point - if many start to feel that way, then the GOP will suffer the results and that will not be pretty.   The thought of a Gore/Kerry/Hillary or  another Clinton type administration along with a Dem Congress is just too horrible to consider, a nightmare which might never end.

Yes I was, and the Nation suffered as a result.

Apparently, the lesson didn't sink in to our GOP political masters.

As far as I'm concerned, a Hillary presidency might spark a sorely needed revolution, and our Nation would then be better off.

"No offense."

None taken.  There have been a huge number of posts on this nomination - lots of emotion there.

There is one good thing about it all, though.  I don't think one could call us the 'silent' majority anymore, heheh.

Agreed, but apparently the GOP didn't learn anything from the LAST Bush presidency.

a nightmare which might never end.

Oh, it would end; even if it took an armed revolution.
