Freepmail.
besides that!
I will answer my own hypothetical with a scary idea:
I think if Bush got a third pick, he would put Gonzales in.
Fair enough. Like I said to oceanview, I haven't made up my mind yet and won't until I see how she performs in the hearings.
And you know this because ....
Can you provide a link or a source that will confirm this?
>Q. How many Democrats does it take to screw in a light bulb?
>A. Just one, but it really gets screwed.
Another answer is:
None. They can't tell the light's burned out.........
If Bush has the stones to take it to the terrorists, why doesn't he have the stones to take it to the Democrats? They are one in the same. Bush doesn't get it.
This is nothing - have you ever been involved in a major fight within the GOP as in 1976? The people criticizing this decision are loyal Republicans and conservatives who are not out to hurt the president. And too many folks see them as the same as Moveon.org, and treat them that way. But thoughtful conservatives who need more than "trust" aren't going to go away because some become rude or misstate their views. They ARE the heart of the party, and will remain so. I don't take a few nasty emailers here to represent very muich. You don't necessarily agree with me and others, but you show thoughtfulness, which is much appreciated.
He won't put up Gonzales
If he wanted him .. he would have made him the pick this time
In all honesty .. I have no idea who he would pick
But I do know it will suprise us :0)
The fact is (and I believe you are aware of this) Susan Collins and some other senators asked him to send someone they could vote for, that wouldn't be too controversial. I posted the numbers above, and I don't think they can be disputed.
Now, if the President hadn't been attacked for two weeks over hurricane Katrina, resulting in lowered poll numbers (and conservative pundits chimed right in on that, including Krauthammer, Gingrich, Ingraham, Cal Thomas, and others) maybe he could cow those RINOS. But with his approval ratings where they are right now, the RINOS are NOT going to go with someone like Janice Rogers Brown.
I do not want a defeat, with the press going on and on about how "conservatism is dead." I do not want Janice Rogers Brown subjected to virulent attacks and rejected.
I can't help it that all Republicans senators don't have stiff spines. I wish that some of these RINOS were more afraid of the President. Part of that is his fault; part is the fault of the media, including a whole lot of shoot-from-the-hip conservative pundits.
1. Was a woman nominated for the sole fact she is a woman?
2. My mother always taught me to raise a red flag when a man said any of these 3 things,
I know what I'm doing
I know where I'm going
Trust me.
Thank you and take care.
OK, I guess you're not interested but for those that are Harriet Miers interpretation of the second amendment is the correct one, an indivdual right. Judge Borks opinion resides in the ether, And Judge Bork was vetted.
LOLOL......so Levin can't take any criticism? He needs you to fight his battle. LOL......kewl!!!
We've debated before and it's pointless. But go for it. If you can convince people to your viewpoint by the force of your argument, power to you. I am not one of them.
And I've got the scars to prove it. (g)
Bush knows that is one of his father's failures and he is doing his darndest to avoid it. He decided to go with someone he knew for sure wouldn't pull a Souter. I guess he could have gone with someone else, but I understand why he went with Miers.
Don't worry about Oldfriend. She gets very personal and nasty. Can you tell?
She would have been truly terrific. Every bit as smart as Roberts.
The flaw in your strategy is that the GOP needs the base to win. So what if Bush's numbers go down ... he can't run for a 3rd term. You don't get people to fight for you by selling them out to the enemy. You get them to fight by energizing them. This is pouring cold water on a fire.
we could not have gotten a vote for Jones or Batchelder (sp?).
