Republican Senators Should Not Rally Around Their President

If only Miers was as reliably conservative as Lenora Fulani, THEN we could trust her!

Good comparison. But you'll still go with Miers because you trust the President, right? Any other reason? I didn't think so.

[CharlesWayneCT]

He would if she was for shutting down trade agreements.

[Dog Gone]

I'm sure the GOP senators are going give a lot of weight to the advice from a embittered former Republican.

It's kind of like Jim Rob taking advice from the various anti-Freeper sites.

Not gonna happen.

[Howlin]

The conservatives are committing suicide. Of course, that might be what you want.

Bingo! And then, the way their thinking goes, we'll go crawling over to Pat and Alan Keyes, et al., and BEG them to save the GOP.

They'd LOVE for the GOP to lose in 2006 and 2008! Teach us a lesson, ya know?

[Howlin]

LOL...........very good point!

[Dane]

Hey Pat your bedfellow, marxist Lenora Fulani is calling.

[Reactionary]

"Withdraw the Miers nomination, before it's voted down."

Miers isn't going anywhere.

[Howlin]

But you'll still go with Miers because you trust the President, right?

I sure as hell trust the president more than I trust Pat Buchanan.

[RepublicanWithIntegrity]

Your position would be tenable had not the same senator who yesterday just about said he will not vote for Miers voted for Ginsburg.

In my humble opinion, any Republican senator who winds up voting against Harriet Miers after having had voted for Ruth Bader Ginsburg should be kicked out of the Republican Party or be stripped of all committee assignments (just like the Democrats did to Traficant).

[sinkspur]

Yeah, looks like you folks have the momentum all right.... [/sarcasm

Well, since you're so confident she's going down, how 'bout a little wager?

[Map Kernow]

The conservatives are committing suicide. Of course, that might be what you want.

Yeah, that's it---"conservatism"....the kind that allows mushrooming deficits, national debt, expanded government, talk of using the military in domestic "emergencies" of the Feds' choosing, open borders, new budget busting entitlements, racial quotas...Have I missed anything...?

Yeah, you're right: I can't wait for that kind of "conservatism" to die. Y'see, it never had the right to "live" in the first place.

[Howlin]

Is there a list of those?

[KingKongCobra]

Oh goody, It's Pat.

[inquest]

Who are more irrelevant, Buchananites or Goldwater Republicans?

People who whine interminably about both.

[LibLieSlayer]

Hey Pat,

How's that reform party thang goin'?

LLS

[Sir Gawain]

Bush isn't going to sign that unconstitutional CFR into law. Trust him!












Oops!

[MikefromOhio]

ya know, now I have TWO reasons to support Meirs, Farah hates her and Buchanan does too. Enough reason for me.

[Betaille]

"Wouldn't it be better for 2006 if the republicans stand up and vote down an unqualified moderate?"

Of course not! That would be totally demoralizing. Conservatives haven't given up, the Republican leadership has. I will still vote and vote Republican (or Conservative since I'm in NY), but alot of people won't turn out and alot of conservative groups are not going to do their traditional leg-work. You take conservatives for granted to your own demise.

[Reactionary]

"Your position would be tenable had not the same senator who yesterday just about said he will not vote for Miers voted for Ginsburg."

It's strange, isn't it, that Ginsburg is still considered "qualified," even though it's perfectly evident to everyone that she hasn't the slightest idea what the Consitution actually means.

No matter. It must be the case that postmodernists and crazy ACLU lawyers deserve republican votes, while Miers doesn't.

[Map Kernow]

Your position would be tenable had not the same senator who yesterday just about said he will not vote for Miers voted for Ginsburg.

So what??? You people carry "party loyalty" to a ridiculous level. That's the whole point of Pat's article. Confirm someone because she's good for the country---not just on one man's say-so.
