I think that W has learned from his mistakes, such as Charles Pickering. You won't get a self-proclaimed conservative past the likes of Specter, Chaffee, and Collins. You need to give the RINO's, as well as some democrats cover in voting for judicial nominations. As Sun Tzu says, if you can win the war without a battle, that is the best. I like the fact that she is an evangelical Christian with a long history with W. That's good enough for me at this point.

I respectfully disagree. The American public wants a justice who believes "homosexual marriage" should not be imposed by judges, for example. If Bush took his case to the public, a majority would back him, and he would have the 51 senate votes he needs. He's shown he's not willing to make the case to the public, and that makes him look "weak," as Rush says.

Listen RINO, it was probably people like you who convinced some PA conservatives to vote for Arlen Specter last year. Bush pledged his support in the primaries, and also in the election.

IF god-damned RINOs like you didn't help to push Specter over a principled conservative like Toomey, then obviously Bush wouldn't need to worry about Specter's support. It is these watered down compromises that will destroy the base.

Conservatives are not in love with big spending, and legislating from the bench. If Bush can't get the important things right, there will be a major fallout. For *MANY* people - ie. enough people to determine whether Republicans win or lose elections - judicial nomination is the *ONLY* reason they have stuck with the Party.

Bush is the unholy love child of Lyndon Johnson and Richard Nixon. God damned RINO tory.

I think you are right, Jimmygrace. Bush may not be a lot of things but he is politically astute.

My gut is that the RINOs in the Senate would stab us in the back on this one. This lady will be hard for them to fight. He thinks he knows her. I hope he is right, and she isn't another "Putin".

My thought is that any of these people would say anything for a chance at a SC seat. I would. Once you are on it, you are immune.
