"And President Bush picked (someone) who is also NOT a proven conservative."

True, factual. Agree 100%. A conservative Democrat (what she appeared to be circa 1988) is far from a conservative Republican. Need more than just "trust" to support this nominee.

Amen. Well, she did vote for Reagan in '84. However, "EVERYONE" voted for Reagan in '84!!!!!
