"... fearful of alienating the Democrats, whom, they thought, would soon be back in power, lest they be punished as a consequence."

Forgive me for reposting something that I wrote earlier on another thread. It is a concept that I would like to see have more discussion. ---

The unwillingness of Republicans to stand by 'our warriors' shows me that we have a lot of appeaseniks in our own party.

These appeaseniks keep thinking that if we are 'nice' to the dems, if we apologize profusely every time a Republican opens their mouth 'insensitively', we can get the Dems to go along with programs and bills in Congress.

GOP appeaseniks are treating the Dems like the left treated the USSR. We have to start treating the obstructionist party for what they are in reality --a virtual fifth column that would rather see our country sink than to remain out of power.

• The Senate has a majority of Republicans
• The leader of the Republican Party is BUSH.
• The judicial nominees are BUSH'S.
• The filibuster of HIS nominees is in violation of the Constitution and the Senate oath of Office.
• President Bush's Judicial Nominees Represent A Legacy Worth Fighting ForTo be honest about it, President Bush's nominees for the federal bench have been better than either those nominated by Reagan or his father. They are extraordinary. If Bush can fill all the vacancies in the federal court system, even if he should be denied a second term, then he will have made the greatest contribution a president can make.
• Senators SHOULD hear from the electorate on this ISSUE US Senate: Senators Home
  • Bush will commence this fight on FRIDAY. Shock and awe to follow next week in the Senate.
