You and I aren't all that different, in how and what we'd do, if we were Bush; however, we aren't, he has his own " style ", and no, presidents can't and shouldn't go to states, especially when that person is NOT even running , and talk against them. For crying out loud and then some...Snow et al get elected in states that are NOT " Conservative ". THINK MAN, just think about things and how they really are, before posting vicerally.

Historically, our judicial sytem has never, NEVER been " fair " to all, in every way, shape, manner, and form. Some people has ALWAYS been treated differently ( some better, some worse ) than others. See? You are so a " PURIST ", whose grasp of reality as it is, isn't what it is, or ever has been. Not in colonial times, not as a new nation, not at 100, and certainly NOT now and you and I are NOT going to be able to change that.

" If wishes were horses, than I would be king " and the same is true of the collective wishes of FREEPERS, who refuse to accept reality...daydreams are like soap bubbles; insubstancial but pretty. Reality is something else, no matter how much one might yearn for it to be different.

Oh come on. A president can do anything he wants. It's ridiculous to say he "can't". And what's wrong. Can't take rough and tumble politics. Geez, it was a heck of a lot worse in the old days. They'd threaten to kill each other, just ask Hamilton.

Are you saying Bush hasn't got the right to convince Maine and Rhode Island voters their Senators are morons, cowards, and petty a-holes? That never stopped FDR, Kennedy, or LBJ. They threatened on a daily basis. Oh, I guess we should massage them so they don't Jeffords the GOP.

I'd rather elect more conservative Senators and let the RINOs rot. By you saying "think how things really are" you are pointing out you accept the status quo and are completely convinced it can't be changed.

Who's being a purist in thought now? How cares if they got elected by those voters? Voters are people and a good leader pursues the people using strong arguments. Remember the "Reagan Democrats" the GOP has pissed away?

Amazing, this entire thread for the last couple of hours has been attacking me and SAJ and others who want some principle instead of caving into "compromise" that always benefits the left you think you are opposing. Snowe, Collins and Chaffee are the perfect definition of your philosophy. Three total RINO's that have to be countered by a Zell Miller or John Breaux (or Mary Landrieu when she's not on the rag) to get anything done. I guess since they might vote on a few bills Bush wants, it's okay to let them hold hostage real bills based on principle. You know all three of those jerks aren't helping in the judicial nominee fights.

Gee, let's just put Trent Lott back into the majority position and we can complete the circle of being reamed.
