[George W. Bush]

One of the talking heads(maybe Fred Barnes) said that there were more offers, Judge Pickering was the only taker.

Well, inasmuch as I can determine, you seem to be citing this post as your evidence:

You know, this isn't even worth the time to demolish. I recognize that there was one recess appointment offered and one accepted. Freddy Barnes can manufacture any rumor he likes and I'll take it about as seriously as the same kind of stuff that the libmedia whores and Klinton spokesmen used to spin about how Clinton wanted to be more liberal but just couldn't be.

That Fred Barnes, a party-aligned journalist and GOP media fixture, may (or may not) have hinted that more recess-appointments were offered is completely irrelevant. Apologists and do can float all sorts of rumors.

Were you here in 2000 when we were told so many times how, if for no other reason, we should vote Bush if only for the judicial appointments? Well, okay, fine. Many of us bit on that one. But when we get right down to it, Pickering is the only Scalia-style judge we've gotten. The rest are shot down. Of the other 170 confirmed appointments, the Dims liked them just fine.

The judges we need are the ones the Dims won't approve.

I want my judges. And I ain't gonna shut up about it. Bush still has time to do it, right now. If he wants my vote, give me the damned judges.

One Scalia-style judge isn't a good enough reason to vote for Bush again. Let alone his lovely speeches about how much he wants to renew the assault weapons ban. Or his big domestic spending agenda to fund exactly those things that I have personally fought against for years.

Diaper full?

I am glad to hear that President Bush might still get your vote, but it should not even be in question. You should vent your anger at the obstructionist dims. (ie Shumer et al!)

Actually, Brit Hume reported it in The Grapevine.

Is he an apologist, too?

But you managed to spend some words on it....... LOL..

Now I'll ask you again: What are you going to do if they don't want the recess appointments? So far you've not answered that but ranted on about what you want.... and not what the nominees want? You want to stomp your feet some to?

I don't care what you believe.... I didn't see it so I can't say it's true or not... I've seen it posted several places around the forum.

I'd be surprised if any other the others would have taken a part time appointment and give up their permanent positions.... All except Pickering who is 67 or so years old.
