A lot of people said that in 2000 and 2002. Go for everything right now so moderate voters are shocked into voting for rats and we lose everything and more ground in the backlash. Not one of these people could predict what they would eat tommorow much less what the future had in store.

I disagree. I think we are where we are because of what Bush has done (his conservative agenda), and I don't think the so called moderates are going to fault Bush or the Republicans for doing whatever it takes to get Bush's judges through. I would be willing to bet anything on that.
That is the Republican's problem; they are too worried about backlash. There won't be any backlash, except from the media.
So when are they supposed to "go for everything?" 2006? After 2008?
I'm sick of hearing how conservatives need to worry about one more election or one more appointment. There is no better time than the present to get those appointments through, and no more important time than now to ensure they are Constitutional conservatives.
