If you are ashamed of Frum's petition...
You would really be ashamed of Ann Coulter's appearance on Hannity and Colmes tonight....jeez louise...talk about over the top!!!!
She is honest though...she made it known that Miers could
give a virtuoso performance in the hearings...and answer every question "correctly" and she will still be embarressed that she is on the Supreme Court...
What makes be embarrassed for Coulter is...she said that she is "mad at President Bush for MAKING HER have to say bad things about Miers"...and that she is starting to feel sorry for Miers, because they "have to say bad things" about her.
THAT sounds like a bunch democrat crapola that she spewed! Blaming Bush for making her do something that she is CHOOSING to do!!
I have NOT even taken a side on this....I don't know...BUT, I will say this much.
The over the top Conservatives are losing me...fast!!!!
Maybe GW ought to invite Teddy to the Whitehouse to watch a movie and ask him what he would do? It worked before with education reform and the 'no child left behind' act? (sarc/off)
It's time for GW to be a leader IMHO........
" I haven't seen any dissent stifled."
perhaps not by yourself but there are people here on hte pro miers side that have said "STFU, STHU, you're a communist, you're hurting the war," and on and on and on.
"Has it stifled you?""
of course not, but others may not be so forceful in making their opinions known after being browbeat with attacks similar to those i named above. things like that only encourage me to speak out more, but i cant speak for others.
"All you geniuses who have the Supreme Court pick all figured out have a very strange sense of reaching judgment."
perhaps your criticism would be warranted if it were limited to a small minority, but our feelings are echoed by numerous pundits/legal minds/etc mark levin, rush limbaugh, ann coulter, laura ingraham, david frum, george will, robert bork etc etc etc
they're all a bunch of "dummies" who know nothing about conservatism
You're like a judge who decides the case based on what he reads in the newspaper. Never mind waiting until the evidence is presented in the courtroom."
since she has no record to go on we're left to our own devices in determining her overall philosophy--the main points that are cause for concern are the support of affirmative action for dallas fire department and the creation of a womens studies (read feminist) lecture series at SMU in the late 90s with such speakers as steinem and pat schroeder (who tried to weaken our military with tailhook).
anyone who has taken women's studies courses at a university know how they're filled with marxist feminist thought, hate men, hate marraige, "keep your laws off my body" , "its a woman's right to choose". my girlfriend in college was required to take a "women's studies" course and we laughed at some of the propaganda they tried to shove down her throat.
Maybe Moveon.org can give him some pointers on petitions
I'm sure they are enjoying this borking of meirs that they would be glad to help them
None of us can possibly know that for several years. Even O'Conner was a reliably conservative vote early on in her tenure on the bench.
William Rehnquist had never been a judge before his appointment.
Everyone here who is drawing lines in the sand and saying definitive things about Miers is just full of it. History has proven repeatedly that supposedly "safe" choices turned out the opposite, and that relative unknowns have turned out to be great selections.
Any declaration today is pure conjecture, and the only mistake might have been assuming that conservatives would wait until enough facts were known to make an educated guess.
So then what exactly do you expect to accomplish by "waiting for the hearings"?
It happens every time. And they wonder why they win no elections.
If Miers withdraws, he will probably nominate Alberto Gonzalez...than make ya'll do this all over again...lol
Bears repeating...
Another reason to refrain from subscribing to National Review ubtil David Frum is gone. Surely WFB would never do something like this, and he ought to have this clown fired.
LOL
"Nowhere remotely close to as dire as $3/gallon gas or a 60% rise in heating costs..."
I'm sorry, but I don't think you can blame those two on this White House. We should have become energy independent a long time ago. Secondly, the projections are a 50% rise in heating cost; that you can lay at the feet of Katrina and Rita.
BTW, George Bush was not responsible for the earthqake in Pakistan either.
Oh, jeez, save me from someone who is analyzing Harriet Miers' handwriting!!!
For goodness sakes....if you want ego...you should watch Ann Coulter...who feels like you do!!
She is a bundle full of the most ego-filled BS, I have ever seen..
She just said on Hannity and Colmes that she is "embarrassed that President Bush has put US in the position the WE HAVE to say bad things about Miers"!!....
IOW..she is blaming Bush for making her do something that she is CHOOSING TO DO...and quite childishly, also.
When Hannity asked her if there is ANYTHING that Miers could/should say that would even give her a nanteenth of a chance of being acceptable in Coulter's eyes...Coulter said NO..nothing, I am ashamed of the pick!!!
No, you're not, at least not limited to the stuff that's been revealed so far. You'll get to hear her answer live questions, many of them posed by people who will vote against her no matter what, on live television. That will be far more revealing than what contributing a few bucks to a lecture series at her alma mater indicates.
I think most conservatives wanted a bloodbath on the senate floor as we did an anti-Bork on the Democrats. I know I did.
That's probably not going to happen unless the Democrats fear the confirmation of an evangelical Christian. But they won't have to do that if they can be content in the knowledge that conservatives will self-destruct without much evidence to support her confirmation one way or the other prior to the hearings.
Whoa...wouldn't want to mess with this one...
A CONSULTANT.... you know what "they" say consultants are good for, don't you???? LOL
It's Bush's Fault !!!
can ya see me rolling my eye?
My educated guess will be considerably more educated.
Ann Coulter can drive the bus!!!!
Where is Frumkin, where is Frumkin??? LOL
