To paraphrase the A-1 Steak Sauce commercials, "Vote Republican, it's that important."

In Florida, vote for Katherine Harris to get rid of left luntic Bill Nelson.

"John Paul Stevens is Gerald Ford's biggest mistake."

When Gerald Ford was President, DemocRATS had a 62 to 38 majority in the U.S. Senate. So Ford had no good options.

It's the usual rumor, but who cares? If it gets a few more human conservatives off their behinds on election day to help tthe rest of us save the nation from the scumbag Democrats and their agenda to turn America into a French-style, secular-socialist welfare state, then good.

BUMP!

In that case, it would have been better to have appointed an old liberal who would have had the decency to have died during Ronald Reagan's administration. Yes, I'm sure Ford could not have seen what he was doing at the time, but Stevens longevity and voting record make him Ford's biggest mistake.

Some have ZERO concept of history....DUmocrat majority for 60 years, but Republicans are supposed to turn that around in less than two terms with DU trolls infiltrating the party?

When RINOs like McLame and Goober are no longer sent to congress, then we will have progress.

Personally, after the vomit-inducing statements of John F. Kerry, (D-Hanoi), I do not think many conservatives are thinking of staying home. RINOS or not, just go vote. Damn the lefties!

Ruth "the bird" Ginsburg, matron of the ACLU could be replaced on demerits.
Expect any day now Scalia to suggest her vote be yanked for sleeping during arguments.

Let's hope we don't have a Harriet Meirs redux or a stealth Byers.

I hope if the reps lose the Senate they remember how the minority acted.

"post last week at the liberal Democratic Underground blog says, “Send your good vibes to Justice Stevens. I just got off the phone with a friend of his family and right now he is very ill and at 86 years old that is not good.” "

Could this be the first time something from the real world intruded into DU LOL?

Whatever, there is a good chance there will be an opening on the Supreme Court before the next elections.

I have been saying this was coming down the pike forever. Stevens is more liberal thatn the Republicans that we have now. But regardless Judges and many memebers of the Court respect tradition. He was appointed by a Republican and I ahve thought he would want to go out under Republican

These rumors ALWAYS come from "very reliable sources". ....The same sources, no doubt, who are always saying that the retirement of Ruth Bader Ginsburg is imminent. Like I said, whether or not there is anything to these rumors, they MUST be given the benefit of the doubt and presumed to be true, because they certainly are possible. And that's good enough for me.

I certainly hope this happens while Republicans have a majority in the Senate.
