See you have done it again - I don't want the first, last or anything on the court except a qualified person - I don't care what color, what age, what sex, how tall, how short, how fat, how anything. And I do not want them nominated or touted for anything but qualifications. Now you cannot say that is the case.
America should see plain and simple the racist double standard the Democrats use with minorities...liberal good, conservative, bad minority.
That is their political philosophy - not racial politics - it really shows a non racial bias in this instance. No President Bush is playing to the HIspanics - you know that - Goodness I have heard nothing but since he came into office - not from him but from the people posting here. He is playing a race card and the democrats are practicing their usual political philosophy of liberal vs. conservative - can't you see that doesn't put us on moral ground at all. Just the opposite. If we nominate someone for a position based on race - that is racism.
President Bush is doing the nation by showing minorities you can be conservative and succeed. Of course, this helps the GOP, as well...
Do we nominate someone to send a message to others of his/her color - or do we nominate or hire someone because they are the best for the job. You see that thinking is what got us in the quagmire we are in with this racial thing.
This is not the first time President Bush has used race for his own agenda - but I will say this - it is not only despicable - but the Democrats are much better at it than we are. We should keep some since of dignity and not dabble in that kind of slime.
Let me suggest something just totally off the wall - why doesn't the President nominate someone who is qualified, doesn't matter. Nominate that person because he is a qualifed American who loves this country and wants to do what is right for it. Tout that person as a good American Then maybe we could inspire all AMERICANS to be better people - gee that is a radical idea.
