What this is about is certain people wanting to prove how superior their principles are.


Consider the possibility that Conservative principles are indeed superior to Washington politics.

I just don't get how people call Frum a Bush hater when the guy wrote a book about how great Bush is?

"They" in the disputed post does not refer to ordinary Freepers, does it?

Sure it does.

I'm with you. It's despicable to stand up for your principles. We need more unprincipled people in government or else this country is going to go down the tubes.

We care, and we will back you when we can, at least I will. But a Supreme Court seat is the most important thing a president does. It lingers decades after his term ends.

Miers is a Souter. We haven't had to look far to find her in favor of affirmative action, world courts, and gay rights. That Bush likes her is admirable. That he would appoint such a woman is an abomination and a betrayal of those of us who voted for him twice, thinking ahead to this very occasion.

If the Dems win next year, so be it. In my neck of the woods the GOP, (Kolbe, McCain, Walkup) are their identical twins.

The people who elected Bill Clinton were Richard Darman, John Sununu, Andy Card, etc., in other words, people staffing the White House of Bush the Elder.

Did you read it? It was condescending as hell.

I will agree that you hyenas are, indeed, extremists.

We are not hyenas. We are elitist, sexist, hateful Nazis. Don't change the talking points.

Rubbish.

Your posts on these threads have done more to divide this forum than anything I've ever seen here in seven years.

IMO, you're a disruptor.

Frum and Chavez.

I don't see the word "disgruntled" in the article, but it's worth thinking about what they have in common.

I wouldn't call Frum a Bush hater. I'd call him an opportunistic a$$kisser. He kiesed Bush's a$$ when it benefited him, and he turns on sush for the same reason.

David Frum and Linda Chavez will be the future stars of MSNBC and CNN to take their place next to the other Bash Bush conservatives like Buchanan, Scarborough, and Carlson.

She cannot gain intelligence

She has more intellectual credentials than anyone ever nominated to the Supreme Court.

Her bachelor's degree was in: Mathematics.

You IQ administrators really hack me off.

So, it's a win/win for the Dems: the GOP destroys itself, and it doesn't cost the Dems a dime.

Do you wear a mask to hide the fact that you cut off your nose as well?

Ah, you've encountered the Sphinx Caucus, have you?

This is going too far. I'm not impressed with Miers, but, a commercial is mean and lowbrow.

There is something wrong with Frum; it is one thing to disagree with a decision a sitting president makes; it is quite another to launch a vendetta that can only be described as a hissy fit.

When I read about him now, I picture him drooling and spinning around in the middle of the room.

He acts like his very existence depends on defeating this woman.

I don't care about muscling the president. I've spent a lot of time defending him in this people's republic I live in.

But he let me down on this one. The ghosts of Earl Warren, Harry Blackmun, William Brennan, Lewis Powell, Potter Stewart, John Paul Stevens, Sandra Day O'Connor, Anthony Kennedy, and above all David Souter are howling in my ears.

This was a bad move by the president. I'm just a semi-retired minister and driver of mental patients. What I think doesn't amount to much in the hallowed halls. But I also don't believe I'm the only one in opposition to this ghastly nomination. Bush has damaged his own side by needlessly fighting with his own base.
