I just heard/read about his passing. My prayers and condolences to his loved ones and for his soul. He is a great man who will be missed and not easy to replace.

Dear Deo volente,

"This will be the most important nomination in the last fifty years, at least."

Until the next one.

I'm losing hope, that we can avoid CWII,,,

The other side clearly wants to fight.

Their rhetoric is preparing their young men for war.

We shall see.

President Bush will have a difficult time pushing through Judge Roberts and an actual conservative appointment, simultaneously, especially in that his political capital is low right now, for a variety of reasons including the recent hurricane.

Don't buy media lies. The bush job approval rating of 40 percent is based on polls paid for by CNN. They surveyed on 29 percent Republicans and 39 percent Democrats.

Bush's real numbers are about 50 percent approval rating. The support for the war in Iraq is at 58 percent.

The 8 percent that support the war and yet don't approve of bush are those that want Bush to Nuke all Muslims until the middle east glows 24 hours a say. Those people do not support the Democrats.

They hope to use New Orleans to take down the president the way they used Watergate to take down Nixon. Vietnam gave Nixon the second biggest presidential victory of the 20th century. The media took Nixon by making a majority think he was a crook.

It was Barry Goldwater's jealousy of Nixon's success and the presidential ambition of Howard Baker that got Republicans to turn on Nixon.

Nixon had no real following. He was not liked.

But people like Dubya.. they like his as much as they liked his mother. They like him more than they liked Clinton. They will not be able to take President Bush down.

They are going to go after Bush just as they did with Cindy Shaheen. It will backfire in their face. Just as Cindy backfired.

Lisa Malia and I canvased the bellwether county in Ohio for Bush in the 2004 campaign. I know for a fact.. that the winning margin in the state of Ohio was registered Democrats voting for President Bush.

The issues that brought Democrats to vote for A Republican president were the war, the gay agenda, and abortion. As we interviewed registered democrats we learned that those that supported Bush were very concerned about the Supreme court.

That is not an Ohio situation. It is a nationwide situation. There is not a Democratic Senator in a state that Bush won, that is not aware that if he is wrong on Gay rights and abortion.. ie supreme court nominees, his days in office are numbered. He knows he can be defeated by a pro life anti gay Republican. Those democrats will think long and hard before they go after Bush on a supreme court nominee.

The media and the democrats are aware that for several Democratic Senators a vote against a pro life anti gay Bush nominee will result in their political death.

Democrats will kill unborn babies without blinking an eye.. but they will not do anything that might kill their career.

President Bush MUST NOT name Rehnquist's replacement nominee until after Robert's is confirmed. The Dems will press hard for this but the President cannot cave.

The more confirmation hearings we can have, the more the dems will shoot their stupid mouths off.

Very good for our side.

RIP Justice Rehnqist. God bless him.

CWII is already here. It's just a cold war (yet). BTW Im glad we don't have the ability to shoot bullets over the internet, otherwise the war would have been started long ago.

Doesn't pay to read stuff over there, it makes you think the world is going crazy!!

Poor Bush, another ordeal to go through now but it will be great if we can get two good conservative judges put in.

Nuclear Option on the second if needed!

Yup.
His bio page said "I am in love with Bush.."
As if his posts would be ignored due to his bio page.

Absolutely...

One last campaign for Carl Rove to run.

Janice Rogers Brown to the SC
Clarence Thomas as CJ

One steady drumbeat that if you are black you can do anything in this country. It will stop the left's playing of the race card absolutely dead.

Two more words to keep handy:
