Pat B summarizes conservative concerns quiete well here

[Huck]

It'll be fun to see the hearings. If she's not qualified, we'll find out.

[Rocko]

Where was Karl Rove in all of this? Is he so distracted by the Valerie Plame investigation he could not warn the president against what he would be doing to his reputation and coalition?

Yeah, sure.

[Irontank]

So cynical...the President said today...she was the best person he could find...and how can you doubt him? After all, she was the head of the Dallas Bar Association...I mean...with credentials like that....

[Rokke]

Well, if Pat still has relevancy on any topic it is the topic of recoiling from greatness. I used to respect him. But that was about 10 years ago...when he had potential to be something almost great...instead or irrelevant.

Last time I checked....W has won two Presidential election, Pat has a nice gig on PBS.

Hmmmmmmmm.

Sour Grapes!!!

Pat has become a Tool of the Media, and the Left who wish to regain power for the Dims. If he supported Bush on anything, they'd ignore him.

The only reason the Media gives him any attention is because he bashes Bush. "Let put on "Crazy Pat" to show the big divide in the Republican party!"

He would rather win his little battles and lose the war. Let him have his moments in the limelight.

Pat, I agree with you on illegal immigration and spending, but you can kiss my hillbilly butt.

You wrote, "Pat B summarizes conservative concerns quiete (sic) well here."

Buchanan doesn't speak for the conservative viewpoint. While talking head cable programs often include him as their idea of a conservative, he quit being conservative several years ago. When not railing against the Israeli lobby, the 'neo-con conspiracy', or the prosecution of ordinary, law-abiding former concentration camp guards, he takes potshots at the President--sour grapes, I think, because the POTUS ignores him, as do most mainstream Republicans.

Bush will be known as tough in war, weak kneed in all else.

[Bommer]

Wow! A whole article from Pat without the mention of "Jews" in it!

[JesseJane]

Deserves to be said again.

Reshaping the Supreme Court is an issue that unites Republicans and conservatives. And with his White House and party on the defensive for months over Cindy Sheehan and Katrina, Iraq and New Orleans, DeLay and Frist, gas prices and immigration, here was the great opportunity to draw all together for a battle of philosophies, by throwing the gauntlet down to the Left, sending up the name of a Luttig and declaring: "Go ahead and do your worst. We shall do our best."

[1Old Pro]

her qualifications for the Supreme Court are nonexistent. She is not a brilliant jurist -- indeed, has never been a judge. She is not a scholar of the law

I think NOT being a judge is just fine. In fact, I think I'd prefer a nominiee who wasn't a lawyer either.

[jdhljc169]

He nailed it for once. Don't agree with him much, but....

By Pat Buchanan

Oh please the idea that Pat B knows greatness is absurd. Pat is a loser never was worshiped by other whiny loser never will bes. Actually WIN an election some day Pat and we MIGHT take you seriously.

[gitmogrunt]

Bush-bot alert, they will be out in force defending their leader on this thread.

Not understanding that the terms "Republican" and "Conservative" are not synonymous.

"meep..meep... up yours, buchanan......meep...meep "

Noitce how good the stock market has been doing since the Miers announcement..meep...meep.

[pollyannaish]

I am going to be snarky and say, I'm sure it does. Sigh.

[TheDon]

It's disheartening to watch conservatives eating their own.

[Revolting cat!]

Oh yeah, let's change the subject again when Buchanan speaks. It's all about how Buchanan is stooooopid! It's not about a mediocre SC nomination, no siree, let's dump on Buchanan. That's gotten tired and predictable ages ago. Yawn!

[cogitator]

She is not a scholar of the law.

That's who I'd really like to have on the Supreme Court, even if the nominee was a cave goblin.
