The RINOs have been the weakest link by FAR in our conservative majority, and it's time to deal with that. Cut them off if need be. They are a pox on conservativism and ALL of them need to be replaced. I believe within the next six years, most if not all of hte 11 democrat Senators in firm red States will be defeated or replaced after retirement by real conservative Republicans, and that seat increase for Republicans in the Senate will marginalize the importance of the seven RINOs, and really make it to where they could change parties and become democrats, and it truly would not matter. THAT is what we need to have. The RINOs have had FAR too much say in the consrvative movement than their numbers justify.

[Wolfstar]

You absolutely make my point. When he does something you don't like, the blame is all his. When he does something you like, the credit belongs to you, not the President.

Excellent, Miss Marple! I concur.

Good morning onyx and Miss Marple. Very well stated, indeed. There's a lot of that going on here.

While I'm delighted with the President's nomination of Judge Alito, I'm permanently alienated from the uber Right types.

[American Quilter]

Forget Ginsburg, Stevens is 85. Wonder if Bush is preparing for JRB in 2006.

From your keyboard to God's eyes!

Of course, the Dems will do everything possible to avoid a resignation by one of the hardcore liberals on the SC. Wheelchairs, oxygen tanks, stimulants--anything to keep the oldest justices going until (the Dems hope) a Democrat is elected to the WH in 2008.

Alito and free speech

Wow. Looks even better with the gavel shading. Thanks for all the hard work.

SCOTUS = Supreme Court Of The United States

[JRochelle]

Hey I was there for a little while!

[Allen H]

"I could not agree more! and LET'S DO IT NOW!... WHEN IT'S FRESH... SO THEY get a real picture, real QUICK of what's coming if they do the same little trick of las time"

Right on. The more pressure on RINOs the better. The more the American people speak out against the RINOs the stronger the conservative majority gets. They have to be kept in line until they are replaced, or made irrelevant by more conservative southern seats are added with the defeat of those 11 solid red State democrats. And if on occation, cracking their heads is what it takes to keep them in line, then sobeit.

[Toidylop]

Specter WILL be on board. He's owned by President Bush. I don't worry about McCainiac or Hagel. They know they need to get with the PROGRAM or they'll get ZERO chance for any presidential ambition.

[Cboldt]

I'm going to go against my policy of ignoring you wolfstar.

I just love all the revisionism going on here. Cboldt, it was just a week ago that you and many others were demanding right of first refusal on the President's judicial nominees. Or, to put it another way, you wanted to do the nominating and just have him follow along.

I didn't do any nominating. I didn't suggest Miers, and I didn't suggest Alito. All of my rhetoric followed the nomination made by the President. So your assertion above is flat out false.

What I did was express reasoned objection to the Miers nomination, as is my right. The bases for my objection are preserved in my posting history, and I suspect you are at least vaguely aware of them. My first objection is summarized at "Uncertainty," The Nominee.

Well, you got one of the names on the approved short list handed down from your high priests and priestesses. You're going to have the fight you all claim you wanted. But are you really going to fight or just sit around here on FR revising your own past actions?

The name, Alito, has been forwarde by the President. I support this nomination. I will be urging my Senators to support this nomination, even if faced with stiff opposition. If the opposiion forwards arguments against Alito, I will consider them, and if reasonable counterarguments can be formed, I'll do and express those rationale to my Senators as well.

"Revise my past actions?" Is that supposed to be some sort of insult? You sure haven't substantiated it.

And now a word from our real Sponsors of Free Speech

The Men and Women who serve,
and have served, our country
are the ones who make sure that
the Politicans and Judges are free to do their job.

We would not have a US Supreme Court
without the protection of the Military.

Politicans and Judges are safe
because of the Military who protect them.

TEST : Call your Senator or Congressman's office
AFTER 5 PM, or on the weekend.
IF you speak to an actual person, ask who's in charge today?

Now look up the phone number
of your local military base.
Call that number 24/7
and ask the live voice you get
to speak with the person in charge.

Send a Thank You while you enjoy your Freedom also.

It only takes a simple majority to change floor rules...

Might have to be done. Hope they have the guts to do it.

[Wolfstar]

Not an issue for anyone here.

It's an issue for me, but then I don't count. I'm just a Bushbot.

[AFPhys]

Your toxic posts deserve no response, not even this one.

but but what about the "right to die". Ginsberg is as close to a walking corpse as Ive seen since..Lon Chaney in -"Frankenstein".

[SupplySider]

Thank you thank you thank you, to all the elitists and sexists!!! Pres. Bush will thank you, too, as he looks back on his legacy in the years to come.

[Delphinium]

I sure hope we have a few.

[kabar]

My goal here, BTW, has nothing to do with this one incident. I'm just trying to point out that we need to take the next primary seriously. Bush is the past. And if we keep him on a pedestal, conservatism will never reach JFK levels, because JFK was more conservative than Bush.

You have an odd way of expressing things. I don't understand your statement, "And if we keep him on a pedestal, conservatism will never reach JFK levels, because JFK was more conservative than Bush." What JFK levels are you talking about and why would it be a goal of conservatism to reach them? In what regard was JFK "more conservative than GWB?"

[Allen H]

Yeah putting the squeeze on the 11 firm red State dem Senators is important too. They are in a bad spot so all conservtives need to make that very clear to them. 8)

While I'm delighted with the President's nomination of Judge Alito, I'm permanently alienated from the uber Right types.

I'm not sure what "uber right types" are, but it seems me that the posters who were hysterical about the Miers nomination seem to be more reserved in victory.

Maybe because the hysterical right hasn't won anything in such a long time.
