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?
>:-[
Hehe...heck if you can come around, I can sure hang in there a bit longer!
Yep, your right... who would have thought that the internet and all of the current oversight of the MSM would have occurred. Okay, you cheered me up some...thanks... :^)
Third parties have traditionally been a joke in this country for a reason.
Why? Do you think the Dems, if the situation was reversed, would have done the same thing? Arent you tired of getting nothing done? Its political suicide for me to demand just a little accountability from the people I busted my a** to elect? I understand the need for compromise, but I also understand this was not the time for it. Three judges, that is all she wrote, and now the Dems are making noise about holding up Bolton again. (Something about mishandling classified info). I really can't understand all the comments spinning and defending what the republicans have done here..
Bush is the best President in the last 150 years.
:-)
That's an awesome list.
But you left out criminal neglect of our nations border and immigration laws.
One bad decision which is going to haunt Bush and republicans for a long time.
LOL!
Oh, yeah. BJ Clintoon laughed his happy ass into the White House over the punchline.
Henry Ross Perot -- 18.87%

What do you think will happen in '08?
[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.
If I voted for Joseph Stalin, at least I would get exactly what I expected.
I can't take seriously someone who would vote for Joseph Stalin, and I certainly don't appreciate an ex-Republican calling GW the worse president is history. I guess Bill Clinton was a saint after all.
For the record: the problem is not whether I vote; the 'Pubbies have taken away my vote [except for Senate, Gov and Prez]. In this district my vote is of no consequence whatsoever for the U.S. House and state offices.
She's too tall for me...
Now, now, even seasoned Freepers can lose their minds.
You cannot read and are in away over your head.
A one man sleeper cell (Sleeper Freeper).
And he keeps the group together with a common purpose or goal, while he motivates them towards that goal as a group.
And then some fall by the wayside.
Is Wolfowitz going to keep his job at the World Bank?
Okay. last 151 years then..
