Correction: He seeks to make it more difficult to appoint judges that will respect the Constitution, rather then have judges appointed that will strike down his UNconstitutional legislation.

PLUS...he said there are a lot of pictures of him in dresses for some kind of functions...and pictures of him in the Gay Day parade in New York...etc...that the dems would exploit to the hilt...

The rats would NEVER exploit those things openly - - they would use their operatives to stir things up among conservatives by descending on places like Free Republic, Rush, etc. You know the routine: "I am a lifelong conservative Republican, but....."

Oh...I see what you mean...because if they exploited them...then it would backfire on them with their constituents...

Good point...and good thinking about using Republican "surrogates" to try to smear him.

Say what you want about his perceived "negatives"...like Bush, a lot of people are willing to overlook those, because we all know that he is great at dealing with "the bad guys"...which is what most of America is most worried about right now.

President Bush delivers his State of the Union address Tuesday to outline his policy objectives for the year ahead. But at the moment, there appears to be a great deal of disunity between Republicans and Democrats.

Democrats complain that the president may have broken the law when he bypassed a 1978 statute that requires a court warrant before the government can engage in domestic spying.

With all the Dim lawyers in the Senate they should be able to come to a convolution one way or the other. "He may...is just Dim propaganda and smearing. They know full well he isn't breaking the law.

"In his speech, the president needs to tell the American people what he is going to do to end the culture of corruption and lay out solutions that will make America stronger," said Harry Reid of Nevada, the Senate Democratic leader.

If President Bush wanted any advice from this little man he would ask for it. Until then Senator Reid, just shutup. Remember the last advice you gave him? Nominate Harriett Miers for the Supreme Court. He took your advice on that and got his behind raked over the coals from his own base. Doubt President Bush will take your advice again.

I don't recall Giuliani being real strident about his liberal social positions - - more like, "Okay. I'm running for Mayor of friggin' New York City - - so what're my positions on these idiotic issues I never gave three seconds thought about?" I mean, he'll have to stick to those positions he originally staked out for political purposes, but I doubt he'll jump up and down about any of it or have any "litmus test" for abortion, etc.

The only thing I would worry about is...that Bush has already come out in favor of a constitutional amendment making marriage between one man and one woman...

And, if we don't get it done before he leaves office...could we count on Guilini to pick up the fight until it is accomplished??

THAT is where his liberal social leanings could present a problem for him.

Having said that...if the alternative is McCain, I doubt that his liberal social views would hurt him.

I will never vote for McCain. Period.
I have always said that the worst possible damage that the GOP can do to itself (and the nation) is inflicted by "moving to the center" (a little bit of cancer, the theory goes, is okay). I will never again vote for my Congressman, Mike Fitzpatrick. As with his predecessor, Jim Greenwood, I voted for him the first time and then discovered what he was.

Was there ever a time when a president gave the State of the Union in front of a non-partisan Congress?

I don't like to say how I'll vote till all the candidates are known and vetting through the debate process

But a McCain candidate would definitely be off my list

NSA - the public is on the President's side.

Alito - the public is on the President's side.

Abramhoff - the public couldn't care less, and those that think about it, think it affects both parties.

You hit it out of the park, Seeker.

By the time Bush gives the SOTU speech, Alito will be sworn in, and the Dems will be nursing a fresh bruise.

Justice Alito would get a front row seat during Dubya's speech. If you heard popping sounds, that'll be leftist heads exploding...
