It would be a terrible idea. Exploitation of a woman's death, a transparent political ploy -- and it would be called that, loudly.
That's something only a Democrat would be praised for.
Not at all. It would be a perfect, smooth way to show continutity.
"It would be a terrible idea. Exploitation of a woman's death, a transparent political ploy -- and it would be called that, loudly."
Only by the despicable and digusting democrats which is their standard modus operandi.
But it would be amusing to see the Dems twist themselves into knots over JRB, wouldn't it? I'd love for her to be nominated, proudly as a fellow Californian. Because she's well qualified. Not nominated for gender. Not nominated for skin color.
Oh yeah, by who? The useless, POS loser MSM/dems!
Who cares, go for it Mr. President!
Of course it's exploitation of the highest degree and the dems will shout it from the rooftops. So what? Play the game by the rules the other team plays by or lose. Not every time mind you, but the proper spin would make the nomination a shoe in.
No matter what the dems will pitch a fit over whoever the nominee is, so I say go for the touchdown instead of playing for the field goal this time.
Not to mention a pander.
And, in truth, it would be all of those things.
Please, Mr. President, don't go there.
Put aside ethical question for a while, politically, if people play the card correctly, it works. Ask Mel Carnahan's wife, Jean. Of course, it could also be overplayed, like the famous Wellstone's funeral.
Rosa Parks lived a very long life. It would be inappropriate to exploit a tragedy like 9/11 that involved the sudden violent murder of innocents taken in their prime of life, but that is not the case here. This would be more a way to honor her time on this earth.
Best thing for President Bush to do would be to nominate her, because she's the best candidate, but not even bring up her sex or race, since that should be irrelevant.
Leave it to others in the next couple of days to point out how far we've come since Rosa Parks fought for the changes necessary to get to the point that a black woman can be on the Supreme Court.
I would call it a wonderful celebration of Rosa Parks' life. I don't care what the leftist say. Janice Rogers Brown has been on President Bush's short list since the beginning. LET THE FOOLS RANT AND RAVE.
