The Republicans went to war to nominate those judges that dissented in this case.

Republicans also placed 4 of the 6 activists on the court. There are many good Republicans out there, most of them are gutless. Increasingly, the cultural war in the political arena is within the Republican Party itself. In case you haven't noticed, we're losing. Very few Republicans stood up and defended Santorum, let alone courageously argued this issue on its merits. Nope. They chickened-out, rolled-over, or flat out agreed with the liberals on it.

That's my view, and I've been inches away from this decision for a long time. I'll be honest, Bush has taught me I can't trust Republicans to either give it to me straight during elections, so I can make an informed decision, or to stand by what they do promise (CFR). Even if they did, courts decide everything. Republicans have the majority and they can't get any judges through unless they say "Mother may I" to Patrick Leahy.

And Bush has been wimpy on this subject at best. He's a politician first. That's fine. Now I know. I'm making an informed decision to change the way I approach politics and the way I vote.

Some success is better than no success.

That is simply the reality of life.

Clinton was elected by much the same thinking your expressing now, BushI wasn't pure enough.

Our children will be paying for at least the next generation for the damage Clinton did to the country beginning with the WTC.



One of the flakes on the court was nominated by Reagan. Was he not worthy of your vote? He made some other doozies as well...

He also won the cold war.

the Constitution Party.. Hmmm
Been going through my mind too, ever since I predicted Bush Jr. would win after the Salon.com article before the primarys. Evidently, 2008 will be Jebs year. Too cynical ?.. maybe, but one thing is for certain Republican in name only is what the entire party represents.

The famous 900+ plus FBI files(blackmail) might be an explanation but with the entire country dumbed down by the public schools and the colleges are almost total ultra far left controled(Socialist) the future looks bleak. And since the 2nd Amendment was given to make revolution LEGAL but America has not got 2 balls to rub to together anymore, revolution is a very remote possibilty. It really looks like the cold war was LOST, to say otherwise would be Orwellian speak.

The Constitution Party looks good to me but I fear its merely a safe house in a negative enviornment. Course Ann Coulters Book might have some effect(TREASON). The effect that it will probably generate is mere clucking and I told you so's among the right, bleeding off effective action since a downright ball kicking by an increaseingly emasulated and effiminate American male public will result in ball sucking instead, I think. The thought of an extemely bloody and deadly and prolonged form of political housekeeping which I believe is what is needed (as Thomas Jeffersan believed) is not going to happen. The Russians won. I have been reading here (FR) for a number of years and I have noticed that the only thing NOT entertained(fear of gov't) is revolution, the very thing required and provided for by the founders. Every other sort of remedy I think has been proffered. For, no doubt, the reasons I gave above....

Its a revoltin' development to be sure and the only thing I can do is be ashamed of my own part in this. For I held on way too long. While bleating about the democrats already totally owned by the Socialists, my party was being dismantled.. as it "IS" already NOW as I write.. The time for words has long pasted.
