Bush isn’t running. All of the Republicans that I could stomach are running away from his positions - notably, Fred Thompson.
“If this amnesty bill passes then a Hillary presidency is a fait accompli...” Maybe you’re right - but then the shamnesty bill would also have to get by the House, and it looks like the Republicans there are going to kill it. Please don’t throw the baby out with the bathwater. Please understand that if the Dems win it’ll be FAR, FAR worse.
BTW, here’s some possibly good news on the Court: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/1856014/posts?page=6
While I’m not thrilled with Bush possibly nominating another Justice (I’d rather have Fred do it, or Duncan Hunter), the fact that Janice Rodgers Brown is apparently on the short list simply couldn’t happen in ANY Dem administration (other than a short list for targeted character assassination).
If this amnesty bill fails then I can step back and start looking for a silver lining in the clouds. Not until then.
