Good points.
I never had any confidence in them.
Fence straddlers . . . deserve barbed wire.
It sure cements home some of the points revealed doesn't it?
Let God arise and His enemies be scattered . . . the worst of them . . . in the worst ways.
It may depend on whom? the President believes he must listen to most . . .
the puppet master, or Jesus The Christ.
That's the same choice looming larger and larger for all mankind.
One is sometimes reminded of pharoh's heart being hardened.
Perhaps God is setting the infanticiders; those who throw children in the altar fires of convenience . . . setting them up for a very dramatic fall.
They are likely to learn what's convenient to God may not at all suit their notion of comfort and convenience.
Friends,
We will get a few district and appellate judges out of the Judiciary Committee, but the pace will slow in 07 and grind to a halt in 08. Some conservatives without much of a paper trail will be confirmed.
The RATS will bury in committee the best of the conservative judges. The media will be complicit in not informing the American people of this obstruction. This is exactly what was happening in 01 and 02 (after the Jeffords switch) before the President made judges a huge priority in the 02 midterms.
As to Catholics who did not vote Republican, I don't recall the President making much of a pitch regarding judicial appointments in the '06 elections. It is hard to fault the voter when GOP doesn't even make the case to independents/Catholics.
Now, as to potential Supreme Court vacancies, do not despair. The media cannot cover up a Supreme Court vacancy. Even if the nominee is rejected in the Judiciary Committee, we can win a floor vote for a conservative, strict constructionist judge.
My huge Catholic family has finally seen the light re Dems...they all vote Repub...have since 92
Frist is/was weak... but the gang of seven stabbed us all in the back. And they'll stab us again and again over the next two years by dealing with the Dhimmi's... setting us up for an even bigger loss in '08.
While I don't doubt their inclination to do that, I also think there are going to be some blue dog Democrats that will side with Conservatives on some issues. This may cut both ways for a change.
The D's doth protest too much.
They sold their soul to get back the committee chairs, but the current crop of DINO's are pro-life.
Popcorn time to be sure.
"Hope the Catholics who turned to the rat party of death are pleased."
Sadly, fully 90 percent of American Catholics are cafeteria Catholics and a lot of those probably think abortion is "a woman's right."
An obedient Catholic is a hard thing to come by.
Evangelicals vote majority Republican, but there are still millions of them who, for one reason or another, vote Democrat. Not all of these voters are necessarily among the Reprobate. Some of them are just badly informed or stupid. Same with Catholics.
It's part of the Catholic tradition that goes back to the 1830s -- voting Democrat. The Whigs were seen as anti-Catholic, and the Catholics have never forgotten. Actually, though the Whigs didn't know where they stood other than opposition to Jacksonianism.
GWB should just name recess appointments to the courts for the rest of his term and forget the Senate. And the real court battle can be postponed until 2009, when the terrain may be a little more favorable, but I doubt it would be any better. People don't change that much in two years.
Mr. Bush should ignore the Democrat swine in the Senate.
If "justice" John Paul "Never met a baby killing I didn't love" Stevens retires before the end of Mr. Bush's presidency, or Ms. Ginsburg, too, just rely on recess appointments.
Dear Ivan,
Mr. Webb ran as an open pro-murder candidate.
Mr. Bush can't hold his feet to the fire on the issue of abortion, as Mr. Webb is an all-abortion-all-the-time kinda guy. And he was quite open about it.
It was actually one of the reasons he cited for joining the Party of Satan.

As for Webb, he went down still further in my estimation...if that was possible.
Regards, Ivan
Dear MadIvan,
Messrs. Casey and Tester have six years before standing for election again. They'll vote against pro-life judges for four years, make a couple of token pro-life votes during that time, and then mind their manners carefully for a couple of years.
By then, Mr. Bush will be long-forgotten, along with any threats to hold their feet to the fire come re-election.
Although I understood the frustration of many conservatives who didn't want to vote for folks like Messrs. Allen, Talent, and Santorum, nonetheless, the effect of their abandonment by conservatives (in some cases, a just reward for their abandonment OF conservatives) is that conservative causes will suffer tremendously.
That's why I overcame the stench of folks like RINO Gov. Ehrlich of Maryland, and voted a straight Republican party line.
But hey, that's just me.
