I for one will not flame you I totally agree but in a way I do not count coming from England. On the other hand I can sit back and look from a more objective point of view and also put in a good word of support for your President and country in my neck of the woods.

[RasterMaster]

The DUmocrat bobble heads are hammering on Miers, but ignore terror threats. No bias there, right?

[Afronaut]

I take it that you are against Roberts being on the Court also?

You are incorrect, from what I have read, I like Roberts. But I did not form my opinions from his performance in front of the committee. And his answers were scripted. He was well prepared and his delivery (performance) was well rehearsed.

[hgro]

Gary Bauer! It's the revenge of rat boy.

Today was just another stage to fall off of for the runt.

[Morgan in Denver]

I agree with you on many events FNC has covered lately, but not the election. FOX was the first to stop the hype once they realized they were being duped. Hume gave credit to their research people who were telling them the hype had to be wrong and to not believe the exit polling, if I remember it correctly.

[snugs]

As my dad says Buchanan is an isolationist in this day and age I think this is dangerous.

[Pharmboy]

Thank you for your kind words. As Richard Viguerie says (paraphrasing):"We've been waiting 40 years for this. Why not someone who's got the track record and experience?"

[Afronaut]

"He (the President) would be both ashamed and afraid to bring forward, for the most distinguished or lucrative stations, candidates who had no other merit than that of coming from the same State to which he particularly belonged, or of being in some way or other personally allied to him, or of possessing the necessary insignificance and pliancy to render them the obsequious instruments of his pleasure."

FEDERALIST No. 76 Tuesday, April 1, 1788

[MNJohnnie]

GRAHAM: Just shut up for a few minutes and just give the lady a chance to find out who she is. You know, people are not really -- people want their 15 minutes of fame. This ain't about Harriet. It's about them

Graham just won a LOT of respect back with me for that. NOT telling people to support her just cause she is "Bush's choice" AM saying they should find OUT something about her before they go freaking out. So far they are freaking cause they WANT to be freaked, NOT because they have any real legitimate concerns. They want to scream "what if she is a SOUTER." Yeah, what if she is a Thomas? That was ALSO a Bush SR pick. Funny how so many "Conservative" Pundits forget that.

[Miss Marple]

No, I don't watch "This Week." I would be interested in knowing what she said.

[CedarDave]

"Miers qualifications for the Supreme Court are nonexistent"

**snort**...yeah, what does the SCOTUS need with a woman who specializes in Constitutional law, anyway?

Buchanan is so passe and irrelevant that he will take any opportunity to get on TV and gladly follow the Rat MSM script to bash true conservatives. My only hope is that Kristol soon follows him to the realm of irrelevancy.

[MNJohnnie]

really enjoyed his grating, irritating voice when he was slamming dems, but it has become grating and irritating to me lately. I've turned him off, along with the two blondes (Laura and Ann)

Me too. My problem with Levin is always he is too much a Lawyer. He keeps telling people to "Let me finish" then talks the whole segment. Anyone he is on with spends the whole time being accused of things with no chance to response. He does not want to debate, he wants to fillibuster. Real turn off.

[chiller]

Agreed, MM....if we had a Rush Limbaugh boldly leading the fight we'd win. There's no one in the Senate who remotely has the balls or the confidence to pull if off.

Aren't politicians insecure by nature? They seek public acceptance, which is why they lie to your face....tell everyone what they want to hear. Not very many have the courage of their convictions.

I do NOT put W in that category.

[snugs]

Thanks for that info.

[GOPJ]

My concern with Harriet Miers is a fear she's telling everyone what they want to hear.

When a person speaks publicly, goes on the record so to speak, we know where they stand. And some will stand with that person and some against that person.

But that isn't what's happening. What's happening is a pattern that's associated with a highly manipulative person is emerging. People are told what they want to hear, privately. Privately.

Every person so far who knows Harriet Miers has had an almost identical reaction - smugness. The Cheshire cat look ... they know she'll be great. And why the smugness? She agrees with them. Each and every one of them. Even when they don't agree with each other...

[Morgan in Denver]

Your dad is right. Isolationism is just one of the paleo-con positions. It's in addition to a militant nationalism mindset and why so many US conservatives reject Buchanan today.

[MNJohnnie]

Isn't it amazing all these Anti-Miers types keep saying "But what if she is a...." Yeah, and what if she is NOT? Funny how all the "Conservative" pundits want to impose their OWN litmus test after spending the last 3 decades whining about the Dems doing that. Maybe we should actually find OUT somethings before freaking out.

[not-alone]

You are expressing what I believe much better than I can,thanks. I wonder how Miguel Estrada,Janice Rogers Brown etc, must feel after all they went through. I have been such a Bushbot and now a lot of my trust in the President is gone.

[CedarDave]

Didn't the back stabbing, Scottish law Specter say he wouldn't support any nominee who had been filibustered? If that is true, then what good would a huge fight over this have accomplished? It would have gone on for months and months.....weasley RINOS would never pull the nuclear option trigger.....and there would sit old swinging O'Conner, still mucking up decisions on the SC. A big fight would make for good theater, but I have a feeling that Bush is one step ahead of all the drama queens.

Bush is President for three more years. It's hard to believe he won't get at least one more swing at bat.
