Republican Senators Should Not Rally Around Their President

Human Events ^ | Oct. 6, 2005 | Pat Buchanan

No, he summed it up pretty well, uncomfortable as that may be for you to hear.

[Chicha Kazembe]

True, but I think he sees a fruitcake every morning when he shaves.

[Earthdweller]

I'm a conservative and you don't speak for me

Bahahaha!! Can I use that for my new tagline?

Oops it's already there somehow.....how did that happen?

[Dont_Tread_On_Me_888]

My tagline is stating that I am outraged at the global welfare by the president while we scale back military weapon platforms. I am outraged at the president's fixation on global welfare while we are nearing $8 trillion in debt and the administration claims we can't afford to police the border.

I am outraged we are giving $15 billion to Africa to maintain their bad sex practices but the USA can't afford to have flu vaccines for Americans.

You have an arguement with that??????????????

[Republican Wildcat]

The Miers SCOTUS pick is a disaster by a president with the letter "R" after his name who is not a conservative fiscally, and by his picking of Roberts and Miers, is not a conservative judicially.

Yadda, yadda, yadda.

[Dont_Tread_On_Me_888]

. . . and you have no answer!

[Republican Wildcat]

Roberts wasn't qualified either, according to him. There's no use wasting time. He's long gone.

[Right_in_Virginia]

Pat, you are a loser so just shut the heck up.

Now is exactly the time to rally around our President.

[Coldwater Creek]

No use arguing with a ranting fool!!!!!!!!

[Salvation]

Why are you giving the dims their talking points? (I realize you are but the messenger.)

[Chicha Kazembe]

"I am outraged we are giving $15 billion to Africa to maintain their bad sex practices but the USA can't afford to have flu vaccines for Americans."

You are a real twister, aren't you? As I recall, the reason there was a shortage of flu vaccines for Americans was that the huge batch made for the last flu season was declared to be bad by the British government right before the vaccine was needed and too late to make another batch.

Anyone who thinks that Africa is the #1 priority of the President is delusional.

LOL!

[CBart95]

Lets be sure the Dems and the disloyal Conservative GOP reads this:
"no distinction between those who commit acts of terror and those who support and harbour them because they are equally guilty of murder."
We have you locked in on our radar,Scum.

[dawn53]

Howlin,

You're on a roll! You go girl!

[ElPatriota]

After all, we have a president who professes to be “pro-life,” yet cannot bring himself to say that Roe v. Wade was an abomination he hopes will go the way of Dred Scott.

Boy to talk about nailing it!

Friends, I don't mean to pile it on... that is not my style but I am extremely dissapointed, almust "hurt," with presidents choice and the whole thing (I don't like the choice and the whole way it was done). I am begining to hope she will recuse herself to avoid further damage to the president. She should. And to all those who think this story/issue will go away... don't count on it. I don't want to argue, I respect your views, you have as much right to be passionate on your views, as I with mine. Everybody should have the right to express their views within the rules of this forum. Would not be absurd in everyone here had accepted this as the BEST! possible choice, and we were all similing and singing like "cheer leaders," :) Would not that be creepy? Yeaacchhh... Luckily we are not... our views differ and yet I can be civil to one another.

Now that you mentioned the flu, it didn't escape my notice how eager Bush is to trample Posse Comitatus using a flu epidemic as an excuse. Wonder how Justice Miers would rule in a case challenging Bush's use of the military in such a contingency? I think Bush is nominating Miers for reasons that have NOTHING to do with constitutionalism or conservatism.

[Right_in_Virginia]

If no one cares, why do you care whether or not he shuts up?

I want Buchanan to shut up because he's a loser who left the Republican Party to advance his own ambitions for a second unsuccessful run for the WH...after his hate filled rhetoric against Bush 41 helped give us the "Clinton era".

How many times does this fool need to be told Americans do not want him?

Buchanan is an embarrassment not only to himself, but to the conservative movement. I don't want his self-serving idiotic rants associated with the Republican Party.

Clear enough for you?

[Alberta's Child]

If you or Pat Buchanan (or anyone else) thinks the country would be well-served by having the Senate reject the Miers nomination, consider this: If a GOP Senate that couldn't even muster a single vote against an avowed Communist like Ruth Bader Ginsburg rejects Miers for the Supreme Court, you might as well run the Republican Party and the conservative movement out of business -- because I would vote for Osama bin Laden before I ever cast another vote for a Republican candidate.

And I'm not even thrilled with the Miers nomination, for heaven's sake. But I find it preposterous that limp-wristed Republican Senators are now going to be asked to stand up to a Republican president on a nomination like this when they've never had the b@lls to do it when a Democrat was in the White House.

Looks like time for somebody's meds.

[Map Kernow]

Why are you giving the dims their talking points? (I realize you are but the messenger.)

Why are you pretending to be a conservative? Why not simply acknowledge that there's nothing Bush can do, or not do, that you wouldn't defend against all criticism or assertion of principle?
