For Republicans, Judicial Appointments Matter More Than Iraq
Rasmussen Reports ^ | May 22, 2008

Posted on 05/22/2008 9:26:25 AM PDT by Clintonfatigued

When it comes to how they will vote in November, Republican voters say that the type of Supreme Court Justices a candidate would appoint is more important than the War in Iraq. The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey found that 44% of Republicans pick the economy as the top voting issue, 30% name judicial appointments, and just 19% pick the War in Iraq.

Among all voters, 52% say the economy is the most important of those three issues, 26% name Iraq, and 17% say judicial appointments are the key. Just 7% of Democrats name judicial appointments as the most important of those issues.

By a 69% to 20% margin, voters believe that judges should interpret the law as it is written. Seventy-four percent (74%) of men favor that approach along with 65% of women.

Wrong!...That is not even the tip of the iceberg! :)... The point of the picture was not about ALITO (Sorry :), It is about being a traitor to his own party...

The next president will get ot nominate probably 2 or 3 Supremes.....so that’s the biggest issue for me.

McCain is the only one who will pick someone like Roberts, Alito or Scalia.....

I just don’t see President McCain going the recess appointment route, because McCain is too often a POLITICAL WUSS when it comes to working with Democrats. McCain already doesn’t have a political spine when it comes to true conservatism, but now, we all have got to believe that he will carry a political spine as POTUS that will please conservatives? McCain has often already said that, as POTUS, he wants to seriously work with Democrats, and you will notice that McCain has also not said that he just as equally wants to work with conservatives. McCain is still best of friends with Senator Ted Kennedy (BTW, get well Ted!).
