Yeah, what's the White House and Congress done to fight Islamofascism? What have they done to cut taxes?
If we could selectively have the RINOs targetted, particularly in the Senate, and we retained sufficient numbers to thwart an impeachment over the war (which remains uncertain)...or to filibuster the Law of the Sea Treaty or other insanity such as the Illegal Alien Amnesty bill Bush will get through a suddenly-agreeable Congress otherwise...
This is why I have been openly warning people just how unconcerned W appears to be at the prospect of losing the Republican House. Which has proven to be the more conservative of the bodies. The White House must have calculated they can get more of their REAL AGENDA through with DemocRATs than with conservatives. And why do you think that would be...?
The question is..who is kicking Rick Santorum out? President Bush? I don't think so! The only way Rick will lose is if the conservatives and republicans stay home.
If the Dems get back the House and Senate, forget getting ANYONE on our side into power for a long time. Listen to what they say. They will do all they can to investigate Bush and impeach him; they will de-fund Iraq and we will lose there with terrorists feeling emboldened. The Republicans will get the message if they lose seats...but if they lose power, we all lose. The Dems will make sure via election laws...fair doctrine (to get rid of talk radio) and other means to make sure they never lose again.
Stay home and you WILL regret it.
Damn near wound up with Harriet Meiers, and only a huge groundswell of conservatives and our folks in Congress got W to turn tail and get her to withdraw.
Remember, the dems over-sampled their polls by 9-10% in the last election .. this year they're having to use 16% - I sincerely hope that tells you something .. Hmmmm ..??
- I sincerely hope that you're right...and they are confounded.
What makes you think she was a liberal?
Our own Dr Deb points out all these numbers to those of us who gather at the "Daily Dose" thread.
In one of the latest polls about the public wanting dems to take over the House - 53% - that was with 16% more dems, not to mention an abundantly equal supply of independents - which is all out of proportion. Independents only account for 2-5% - not 1/3 of the electorate. Looks like a lot-a-skewin' goin' on!
...and prosecution of the war on terror. Sorry that's not good enough for you. Hope you enjoy Rat rule.
Harry Reid supported her nomination, so she's not a justice I would want. Besides, she wasn't qualified, just a Bush crony.
Sixty years, not forty. People forget the period starting 1931 through to 1953 (excluding 1947-49), and again after 1955.
The time to do that is in the primaries. Did you campaign for GOPers in the primaries?
Do you know the differences in issues between the GOP & Dem candidates in your state? Do you really support the Dem platform? If so, then vote Dem or stay home.
Complaining about the GOP *is* the Dem platform, so maybe you are a Dem.
Is that the best we can hope for? Expecting the courts to legislate? That used to be anathem to conservatives.
What she said to the Texas Bar Women's association about Roe v. Wade, and her whole course of conduct while running the White House Counsel's Office, interfering with Ted Olson in both the Michigan Law School affirmative action case debacle and the Texas Sodomy law case defeat. And scads of other misfires. Can you say, Kelo?
From the conservative standpoint she has been given enough rope to evaluate her. She has been a Fifth Columnist. And W took her back to her old job. Where she continues to be a plague on the Conservative house.
We got tax cuts and conservatives on the Supreme Court just to name a couple.
"They are all a disgraceful and embarrassing bunch of reprobates who deserve neither our respect, nor our vote."
You know better than that.
I should also add the additional factor of her perhaps remarks to Arlen Specter over her support of Roe v. Wade...then subsequently denied by her, claiming she was "misunderstood."
Oh, if only we could all be principled and perfect like you.
True enough, but who would a Dim president and Dim senate have placed on the court? I know your sense of betrayal and anger. But for the sake of our country it is not the time to indulge it.
