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?

That is the truth, and they also turn on conservatives who don't go for the hero worship bit.
I understand that many are thrilled that clinton is no longer POTUS. He was a disgrace. He was a horrible man -- maybe the worse man ever to be president, but disliking or hating clinton does not a conservative/constitutionalist make.
Now, if you'll slip on your New Worlds Order conspiracy hat with me . . . .
Who better to do the work of the NWO than a man like Bush who from all appearances IS a decent man?
How better to keep him in office to get more done than run a POS like John Kerry?
How better to get a so called moderate Republican to continue 'uniting the country' (read opening the borders, undermining our sovereignty, and destroying the Bill of Rights and the Constitution) than to run the super witch, Hillary?
If we weren't in the middle of all that right now, I'd say that I was crazy for even thinking it. Hmmmm.
Personally, I'd rather that the left would push too hard with Hillary driving the train than slowly walk us down the track with another nice guy.
I voted for GWB in 2000, though I didn't like him much, but thought he might be OK, and better than Gore. I was sadly disappointed in Bush, and changed to the Constitution Party 2 years ago. I hope more people will do that, because it might be the last hope we have to restore America.
Why more people can't see what's happening is a mystery to me. It might take a good dose of Hillary to wake America up.
Why?
Because they'd have to come out from behind their keyboards and actually do something.
If I didn't try to effect some real and lasting change, I couldn't look my kids or grandkids in the eye. I have no delusions that I can change the drift of this nation, but I know that I have to try.
Either way, you and Bob are still going to be pitching fits.
Voting Constitution Party just might make your nightmare come true.
Oh, come now. Give it a try, write what you really think "we should do." Really.
Come on, do it.
Well... As I said above, first, I would mine the borders...
per request
Wish to join he ranks of Durbin do you?
