[George W. Bush]

So all you guys (about 8% as polls have it) who are GOP and not supporting Bush because he's not conservative enough -- make your choice. Kerry's move to the middle and right has what value of credibility? Right, zero. You will have 5 additional staunchly pro Choice Justices replacing the retirees if Kerry is elected. With Bush, far fewer.

We heard this "It's the judges, stupid" mantra in 2000.

I've yet to see any staunchly conservative jurist placed on high courts, let alone a Supreme.

I don't think anyone who was paying attention since 2000 is going to buy your line of reasoning. Although some of these justices are pretty old, they might hang on for a very long time. Stevens is, what, 127 years old or something? He's not planning to retire.

Even granting your premise that Bush will nominate conservative and pro-life judges, there's still the problem of a gutless/RINO GOP Senate majority that lets the Dims shoot down any judge they don't happen to like. Not a promising record so far.

As far as the supposed 8% of disaffected GOP voters, it might be exaggerated. I'd say that, if true, it has more to do with the long-term garrison of Iraq (never popular in America) and with traditional conservative issues like smaller government and less regulation. Since Bush is president, they're taking it out on him but the real blame is with your Congressrino, not Bush.

What's worse is they let about 10 neobolshevik fascists (the left-wing extremists on the J-Committee) shoot down good people the President nominates.
