Peach, there are two issues right now that are important to me as a conservative:
1) President Bush fulfilling his PROMISE to appoint a strict constructionist
2) The administration closing the borders for national security
If we don't know for certain the nominee is a strict conservative, then we can't know whether President Bush has kept his promise. A stealth nominee = a broken promise until proven otherwise. It doesn't swing the other way.
You "moderates" either don't understand, or don't care, about these two vital issues.
I am far from alone is deciding that if these two issues are not being serviced, then it gives me less than sufficient reason to vote Republican next time. I and many others are willing to accept the consequences of voting conscience rather than party, regardless of how many names you call me, or how much you malign my character or political intelligence.
OMG. You sound hysterical.
#1. I'm not a moderate.
#2. Please show me where I maligned your character.
#3. Please show me where I called you names.
I'll wait.
