Thanks for the vodka on my monitor and a good laugh, but not in that order.
or how Ford gave us carter.
Or how Ohio bacame a swing state because a rino like Taft was running it, along with the senate rinos.
Or countless other examples from around the country.
The thing is they will campaign like conservatives and govern like RINOs. They know that campaigning that way will get them votes, but make excuses as to why they can't actually govern that way once in power.
"That is baloney. Everyone knew Thomas was a conservative. Why in the hell do you think the democrats dredged Anita Hill up out of the sewer to attack him?"
OH really....here's a quote from NRO in 1991 on Thomas
"Truth be told, however, his public record on issues other than civil rights is still more Souteresque than Borkian"

here's the article if you choose to verify:

Stiffed?
Not yet...unless you have a crystall ball in your pocket.
Hang tough...the bulldog in size 6 shoes has not had a chance to apeak to us. She may politely wipe the floor with some of the senators who regularly lead with the BUTT in the air.
The Prez may have picked a ringer...time will tell.
Yeah. I'll just bet he's laying awake at night, worrying about what you constipationists think.
Sheesh.
Taft had more to do with it than Voinowimp and DeWhine combined....
That is absolutely right. Bush should have known better. He must think all of us are idiots. I cringe when I hear him say "I found the most qualified nominee in the whole nation, and golly, she just happened to be working for me right in my own office."
"I could accept .... I could accept .... But I can't accept ...."
Luckily, no one who matters really gives a ratsass what you can accept.
Although it sounds like alot of fun.
I tend to agree with you. No guarantees that Bush will have another seat to fill. In fact, I suspect Stevens and Ginsburg will do all they can to hold on until after 2008.
I am taking a wait and see attitude on Ms. Miers for now, and will be following the committee hearings with interest. She may well be qualified for the court, but there is no doubt that cronyism played a role in her selection. I am dismayed, though, at the signal it sends to young conservative judges/attorneys who aspire to be on the court someday. That to be considered by a Republican president (with a Republican senate majority!) you have to be fly under the radar, keeping your strong conservative credentials as low profile as possible.
While I supported Roberts going on the court, I would have preferred that Bush not move him into Rehnquist's position as CJ, and promoted Scalia instead to CJ. At this point in time, it seems that replacing Renhquist and O'Connor with Roberts and Miers will have little impact on the overall makeup of the court, while promoting Scalia to Chief, replacing O'Connor with Roberts, and selecting a solid proven conservative (JRB, Owen, Luttig) to fill the open seat would have definitely moved the court to the right. This was one big reason why I voted for Bush, because he promised to appoint judges in the Scalia/Thomas mold. Miers may or may not be in that mold, but we shouldn't have to wait ten years to find out.
Yes. Please see my post #244.
Ann has pretty much distilled my frustration into this article.
It hurts to hear her talk about the President like this but the President doesn't care and now that my two favorite conservative 'babes' [Peggy Noonan & Ann Coulter] have ripped him to shreds I guess I will have to get used to home team slapping the coach.
Yeah.....just put some ice on it!!
Good Lord! Did Coulter really make that comparison?
Coulter only knows how to "march" from her stool at the bar to the cigarette machine, and back.
Go ahead and edit it, Wikipedia is a user-edited encyclopedia, so if you see something wrong change it.
Just an aside on Sandy Berger... it just came across on local radio here in the DC area that he was cited for reckless driving in Fairfax County today, ninety in a fifty-five mph zone, and will have to go back before the Judge!
Please clarify....just WHY should Conservatives have to be Miss Cleo to KNOW WHAT THEY ARE GETTING for all their hard work?
Sorry, a wink and a nod from ANY politician, and I start counting the silver!
"Read my lips...she's another Scalia/Thomas!"
Does THIS make you feel comfortable?
What will happen?...My guess they will find a home somewhere and be devoid of power for eternity.
So he called the press conference today out of fondness for the press?
