Most of the Senate Republicans are not RINO's. Even most RINO's will not vote to reject one of Bush's nominees. Bush's court nominees have been conservative as proven by the fact that Leahy is keeping virtually all of them bottled up in committee and Thomas Pickering was shot down after a huge smear campaign. Do you know who Thomas Pickering is? I find that people like you usually have no idea what Bush's court nominees are. You just speak in ignorant generalities. OK, give me a list of non-RINO senate pubbies, then I'll keep my "ignorant generalities" to myself. I can't wait to be educated by the great politico called "lasereye". So I guess you consider Dole to be conservative? Just exactly what are her views, on any topic? Your going to help elect her, what are her views? Blackbird.

I don't consider Dole a conservative. My (rather simple) point went completely over your head. The Federal Judiciary is currently dominated by Clinton appointees. Bush's court nominees are mostly conservative. The Senate Judiciary committee has been keeping his nominees from even coming to the Senate floor for a vote. The committee votes have virtually all been straight party line. So even if you consider every GOP Senator a RINO, which I don't, they've been voting to push his nominees through. The problem is they're in the minority. Electing Dole would help to restore the Senate to Republican control.

If the GOP doesn't retake the Senate, his entire term will go by with either very few judicial nominees being approved or Bush will have to start nominating more liberal judges to get them through. I don't understand why this is so incredibly difficult for people like you to understand.
