President George Bush has not distinguished himself by fighting for his judicial nominees. Indeed, the way he treated Miguel Estrada, he is arguably worse than the Democrats in the Senate.
Now seven Senators have made a deal to run the Senate, and they claim that it would be best for the President to get in his Presidential Yugo and drive down to the Senate Building carrying his hat in his hand to get his judicial nominees pre-approved.
If President George Bush accedes to this power grab, he will go down as the worst President in history.
The United States Senate gave up its legislative power to the federal courts; now the Senate proposes to usurp Presidential powers. Where is our Constitutional Republic in all this?
Previous Presidents have called Senators over to the White House and 'jawboned' them with political goodies to get them to support their agenda. George Bush, instead, called Ted Kennedy over to the White House and allowed him to write the Education Bill. Kennedy responded by saying that Bush had woefully underfunded education, and iced it by calling the President a murderer and a war criminal. Bush does not jawbone Olympia Snowe or Lincoln Chaffee; instead, he closes military bases in Trent Lott's Senatorial District.
It is impossible to be a Republican today because as a voter you send representatives to Washington who BETRAY you repeatedly. Even when the majority of the country votes for Republicans and traditional values, 'Republicans' tell us that it is important to let the minority rule the country, and traditional values are trashed.
I AM NOT A REPUBLICAN
Well, I used to be a Republican. I have been betrayed so many times I have lost count. The Republican Party of Florida re-districted me out of the Congressional District in West Orlando [where I live] and placed me in WEST JACKSONVILLE - nearly 100 miles away. There are three Congressional Districts in West Orlando, but I am assigned to West Jacksonville... a district so gerrymandered that some portions are only as wide as the center line in the middle of the highway.
There is no good reason for me to be a Republican; there is no good reason for me to vote any longer. All my votes, all my campaigning for traditional values, all my fighting against the Democratic oligarchy siezing power in this country has resulted in my own people disenfranchising me by gerrymandering me out of representation in Washington [Well, true, I have Bill Nelson... I remember Bill Nelson: about 1983 he said on local radio that Christians should not be allowed to vote since they are incapable of thinking for themselves, that they must be told how to think.]
Yep - that is what all my voting for 40 years has netted me.
If I voted for Joseph Stalin, at least I would get exactly what I expected. At least if the Democraps win, we know they will finalize the overthrow of the Constitution and set up their socialist tyrannical dictatorship. If that does not motivate Americans to do what is necessary to re-establish freedom, then what have I been fighting for anyway?
>:-[
Bwahahaha, I remember that graphic!
Who was it that was originally made for, again? Was it churchillbuff?
I never use the term except at AA meetings. :):)
You and Bob should get along just fine with that kind of rant. Bush is importing Mexicans?
"Bush is not as coniving as Stalin or as smart as Mao, or as good looking as Alfred E. Neuman "
Not the worst thing I have ever read, but then again I browse the garbage at DU and Michaelmoore.com on occasion. Trust me, you would not be doing Bush or the Republican party a favor by voting 'R'. Go play with your other self important wanna bees in the Reform/Constitution sand box and leave the heavy lifting to the adults.
Yeah, so? I found only one that agrees with my views an nearly everything. The Constitution Party.
What's your point?
Thanks... I wasn't nearly depressed enough... ;-)
Your points are dead on!
My name's Blackie and I'm a newbie.
Hi Blackie!
I was waiting for someone to pick up on that. LOL
You are a Floridian!

I'm agree with you, Homeland Security is a farce!
What do you think Bush's motivation was in allowing Estrada to get trashed. Inattention...wanting to get along...a trade for other nominees in the future...?
BTW, I think that Bush was deeply involved with Frist on this filibuster thing. But they both got their legs cut out from under them by McCain and Graham. I heard Frist on the radio yesterday and while he was diplomatic, the man was very angry. You could hear it in his voice. There's more there than we know.
But Bush now has a much better picture of "who is with us and who is against us" here. While I don't believe that was the original aim, I'll bet we see that information used to our advantage from here on out. I may be wrong, but I'm not ready to take my anger at the Seven Smurfs out on the President just yet.
McCain's drawn a distinct line in the sand. It will be interesting to see what Bush does about it.
If President George Bush accedes to this power grab, he will go down as the worst President in history.
I can understand your trepidation of this scenario playing out, and make no mistake, a power grab is absolutely what occurred yesterday, but I think it's an exaggeration to say this President would ever be ranked near the bottom.
FTR...As of yesterday I am no longer a Republican. The heart and soul of the G.O.P. was interred out in Simi Valley, Calif. last June.
Bush has done some very good things for America and for Americans. But his significant contribution to perpetuate an ever-growing federal intrusion on our sovereignty is inexcusable.
The United States Senate gave up its legislative power to the federal courts; now the Senate proposes to usurp Presidential powers. Where is our Constitutional Republic in all this?
This is the saddest part about the entire episode. Our founders feared this, though it appears too many of our current leaders fail to heed, purposely or not, the warning echoed from over two centuries ago.
hehe! :)
Hehe, yep! I love that commercial!
Bob does indeed make several valid points.
I'd call Dubya's complete and intentional inaction on the border and illegal alien problem criminal. Yes, criminal. Whoring out the US economy, jobs, and security to prop up a failing socialistic state is going to be Dubya's legacy.
The sky IS falling. Dubya's great on some things, war on terror and taxes, and horrid on others, education, medicine, and spending, along with that horrid CFR.
Hi Najida.
Perhaps you are referring to my own ageless gif:
Yeah, it seems the Troll Invasion started in the year or so before last years election.I thought after the election, they would let up. They seem to keep on a-comin', though.
Im trying to come up with a good analogy. Sort of like an ant on a NASCAR track screaming "you're all doomed!" to the cars about to squash him into irrelevancy.
Or maybe it's sort of like a yappy little pink haired poodle dog trying to talk smack to a 500lb hungy lion.
