And?

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?

Hi Meek. I am very, very sorry to be on the other side from you on this one.
It's the old political science dictum from the 50s thru 70s till David Nolan's diamond chart.
Think: Skinner or Weber
Neither can I. I have no idea how these random words come out of my keyboard. LOL.
"I have learned not to judge President Bush's actions when I don't know what he knows."
The Republic is has been Fast Tracked by both parties to "One World Government of Socialism". Tough one to swallow. I'll be dead 20 years or so it won't hurt that bad.
LOL!!!
And?
Yes. Bush needs to get involved more. I want him to work for getting rid of the filibuster. Otherwise, we will never get another Pro Life Judge on the SCOTUS. If we do nuke the filibuster we can seat our nominee with 51 votes. With the filibuster we will need 60.
See what I mean?!?!
I guess you didn't realize that half of that list was socialism-lite?
You seem to be defending Bush from the charge of a "do-nothing" President. But that's an argument for the Dems; this is a "conservative" forum. It's not what he's "not doing" (except for the border); it's what he has done.
Besides that, much of your list was filled with empty platitudes and mindless cheerleading.
OLL, I what know mean you.
The GOP picked a bad time to engage in telemarketing, very bad timing. What did the rinos do with the real republicans?
BTTT
bttt
Just beware of NICE JEB. If he gets anywhere near the white house, he'll make Dubya's nice look like a cheap imitation.
NICE is cowardly and weak.
And I agree with your fast track comment. Right on the money.
If the only thing we get is a conservative majority on the SC, it will have been worth it.
I know, I can't quite believe what I just read! Well, Well, Congratulations Bob, now you've got the "Murry Mom" on your side!
I have to get to bed now, so I'll be signing off until tomorrow evening.
Have a great day tomorrow!
Sweet dreams, AC. See you tomorrow.
