Bush Judicial Nominees Withdraw
AP via SFGate ^ | 1/9/7 | David Espo

WASHINGTON (AP) --

In a concession to the Senate's new Democratic majority, four of President Bush's appeals court appointees have asked to have their nominations withdrawn, Republican officials said Tuesday.

These officials said that William Haynes, William Myers and Terrence Boyle had all decided to abandon their quest for confirmation. Another nominee, Mike Wallace, let it be known last month that he, too, had asked Bush to withdraw his nomination.

Reading posts that now say "Your side" this and "My side" that is disturbing, when all along I thought we were all on the same side.

I disagree, and I think this is healthy.

We do have 2 sides here. To one side, politics is just a team sport. They aren't serious about policy. They believes in voting for Rs even when they're liberal. As long as their 'team' wins. Party above policy.

The other side has a vision for how America should be run, and is fighting for that vision. We're serious about policy.

I'd say the single biggest danger any elected govt faces is people becoming blindly loyal to a political party regardless of the party's behavior. That's what we always razz Ds about, after all . . .

I don't think Kasich belongs on your list. I think he opposes the war. Most on your list are great but not electable. Bush 3 would be fine.

Actually, there is a perfect way to satisfy the people here that look at a politician's party registration rather than what they believe...Hitliary should just declare herself to be a Republican, then they'd all feel comfortable voting for her, because she'll have an "R" by her name!

These were my words, Howlin?

FGS, were you crying when you posted that? You sound like Anderson Cooper.

Once again, please do not post to me further. We had a fairly civil thread until you came in with your attacks.

Abortion & Traditional Values

1. Banned Partial Birth Abortion — by far the most significant roll-back of abortion on demand since Roe v. Wade.
2. Reversed Clinton's move to strike Reagan's anti-abortion Mexico Policy.
3. By Executive Order (EO), reversed Clinton's policy of not requiring parental consent for abortions under the Medical Privacy Act.
4. By EO, prohibited federal funds for international family planning groups that provide abortions and related services.
5. Upheld the ban on abortions at military hospitals.




Interesting. What according to the Rudy Guiliani fan club, the President can't do anything about abortion expect for appointing judges. Could the Guiliani supporters be lying to Freepers in the same manner Rudy lied to his ex-wives?

Anyway, you should add:

Bush reaffirmed the Hyde Amendement, a federal law which bars federal funds for abortion services.

Well, things are just Peachy, ain't they? Vote for the Party and not for issues and principles. Well, quess what? In countries which have multiple political parties, membership paying party members expect and get 100% adherence to principles, or else the legislator is kicked out, yes, kicked out of the party. And parties come and go as issues and principles change. Here in Paradise, where principles mean squat, the RAT party was able to run on a platform that was more conservative that what their opposition was doing in Congress! Principles? Don't kid me, kid!

My representation is a damn liberal because good conservatives like you wouldn't support his opposer because he wasn't PURE ENOUGH for them.

These weren't YOUR WORDS?

So since you lie about me, and are now an obstructionist to trying to fix what is wrong with the GOP, please - continue not to ping me or FYI me. You can continue to working within your ever-shrinking circle of GOP denialists.

Somebody's posting with your nick then.

And I'll post to you any time you post to me, bud, which you just did.

It all depends on if a person is a conservative first, or a Republican first.

A Republican first will vote for anyone with an "R" by their name, whether it is the tyrannical Mike Bloomberg or the bloated plutocrat Geroge Putaki.

A conservative, on the other hand, will look at someone who wants to ban guns, believes in abortion without restraints, wants to increase government control over our lives, and votes for massive increases in the size and scope of government, and they say "eh, what's the difference?"

I do see what you're saying about all the interlopers, but I look at it from the opposite viewpoint, I see all the conservatives being drowned out by the "moderate" Republicans...

Our movement

Since you joined just two days ago, you have a limited number of posts to this point for us to go through and get a handle on your thinking. So, I have a question:

What and who is "Our movement"?
