So the question then is, if Clinton is more of a conservative at heart, how come his Supreme Court nominees were Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Steven Breyer? Because quite frankly, until we reign in judicial activism, the positions on legislative matters mean very little. The judges just impose what they want-- case in point, the Lawrence decision and the Massachusettes decision.

This is about much more than just abortion. This is about our entire system of government. And Bush wants to conserve the system of checks and balances including a restrained judiciary, and the Democrats want to install liberal activist judges who will impose the portions of their agenda that they can't get the public to support legislatively.

Anyone who thinks Clinton, at heart, was more of a conservative than Bush is missing the forest for the trees.

Good answer, WIlliam. I won't debate with this person at this time because it will ruin the integrity of the thread and then I can't "hear" what the president is saying.

Campbell Brown on MTP introduces a clip from MTP. President explaining Saddam was dangerous. Tim had framed the question "since there were no WMDs". President carefully choosing his words explaining the danger.

Campbell says TIME mag asking tough questions "Does Bush have a credibility gap" and off she goes to interview a TIME reporter. Matt Cooper. Bush is on the hot seat. (Yes they are both using "Bush", not President).

Perhaps you can give me a short list of the conservative accomplishments manifested by the George Bush White House
or the Republican Congress?

With our current general (lack of) understanding, and the total media left bias, a conservative agenda is UN-ELECTABLE! To be elected President you have to get the majority of the idiot middle, and they have been poisoned by the (liberal) public school "education" and the crap that masquerades as news; print and b'cast. Our only hope (IMHO) is to obtain powerful majorities in both Houses and then (and NOT before the election) POUND them all to move back to the Constitutional definition of the U.S.
