What are your thoughts about potential judicial nominations?

What I've seen lately on FR are people who will skewer GW Bush on federal spending, and then will sniff at issues like the character of his judicial appointments, or his defense of American values in the world. These people are not conservatives. They are cranks who have adopted a lazy form of "conservatism", namely, "keep your hand out of my pocket!" All they care about is "their money," and their perception of what the government does with it. Have you folks ever talked about the importance of judicial nominations, or the culture wars, or the defense of American ideals in a dangerous and hostile world? No. That is because they are not really conservatives. Frankly, I am very suspect of anyone who bitches about government spending, but then shows no alarm at the possibility of electing a John Kerry and giving him the ability to appoint up to perhaps four Supreme Court justices between 2005 and 2008. Anyone who shows no concern over this possibility isn't a "pure" conservative at all.

So sit out the election. I'm not impressed with your threats, and you're clearly not part of the solution.

Some people talk about the importance of judicial nominations, or the culture wars, or the defense of American ideals. What could be more important than ProLife. Is the president accepting ProChoice people into the republican party, how about homosexuals? Yes he is. Are these the type of people that uphold American Culture? Are they the ones who will insure prolife nominations? Does Abortion and homosexuality = American ideals?

No.
