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new Democratic majority, four of President Bush's appeals court appointees have asked to have their nominations withdrawn, Republican officials said Tuesday.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

And they still haven't Peach, nor will they ever. There's a number of reasons for this, starting with the fact that such people are not conservatives at all despite their bleating to the contrary.
What a fabulous list, Southack. Thank you so much for your hard work on this.
"Asinine?
You want to name call, how about this: you're points are stupid, and so are you.
I say the threats we face from the Islamo-fascists and their fellow terror travelers and enablers is as big a threat to Western Civilization as Nazism and the Japanese were back in the 40's.
And I say in the days it required a far bigger military response than George Bush and our nation engaged in. The days after 9-11 were the time to rally Americans to affort. Bush need not have re-instituted the draft. But he COULD have gotten Congress to help authorize very visible, high level recruitment efforts in colleges, high schools and workplaces.
I already presented you the fact that we were similarly unprepared to fight WWII in the early days. But the difference there was the entire society, galvanized and led by a President willing to take steps to censor media, commandeer our industry to the cause, etc., ensured that our military met the challenges.
George Bush's failure to engage in a more brutal all-out war is now leading to possible defeat in Iraq, Iran with nukes, and MUCH more trouble down the road.
You haven't responded substantively to my opinions. So I assume you can't.
Otherwise, try again.
Thanks, Peach. Wise words that ALL Republicans need to read, and heed.
Maybe up north and west, but not down here. In my area, Democrat turnout was lower than last midterm election, but much larger amounts of Republicans didn't come out to vote.
Sorry i dont buy into that
do i like Rinos - nope not in the slightest, i judge each person by their record. That being said at least a portion of the overall conservative agenda was in play when the GOP had majority control - judges, lower taxes, upholding gun rights. True i did not like the overspending or the lack of any cohesive illegal immigrant control but do you really think these will IMPROVE with dems in control. Nope now everything else that i care about is going to go right down the toilet. so again i thank you and anyone else who sat on their thumbs whining that their rep was onle 65% conservate better than the 0% we have now
cheers
Sorry your son died, I respect his service and sacrifice.
But you didn't answer my arguments, you're a name caller and not worth arguing with.
And by the way--I served in the 1980's, and am probably younger than you.
