History will judge whether these 2 new Justices are what we hope and pray they are.
My question is this: How far do we slide down the slippery slope accepting candidates that only hold some of our values some of the time before there is no difference in electing commies and liberals?
Do you really think that CFR would have passed Congress when clinton was POTUS? The Greedy Geezer Drug Bill?
Hell No. We would have all recognized them for what they were -- unconstitutional and socialist in nature and the product of a leftist -- and they would have never passed.
Everyone thinks that Rick Santorum is Mr Conservative. He proclaims that he is pro life, but helps pro aborts win election. He claims that he is pro gun, but his voting record is barely distinquishable from Arlen Specter's on the issue and Arlen is a known gun grabber.
He claimed (used to, not any longer) to be a fiscal conservative. Now he brags about the pork that he brings home. He just voted for another $7 Billion spending bill at a time when we have already busted the budget. He also voted against the cuts that Coburn tried to push through in the wake of Katrina.
This is a guy that everyone thought was on our side all the time and his record is atrocious. Why start with someone who is already a RINO?
It's better to fight the known enemy than to be stabbed in the back by one who is thought to be an ally.

Well getting mad or disgusted and quitting is not the solution.

Yes, plus it was a big mistake for Bush to sign it. This was a case of the Repubs bowing to media pressure to solve a problem. Bad solution either way. He too probably thought it would have been overturned as un constitutional, but liberal judges put there by liberal presidents did the damage.
>>>>>>>>>>>>The Greedy Geezer Drug Bill
Would have probably been worse......
