he and Rove figured there'd be quite an outrage over the amnesty deal so they made up a list of actions that could quiet the base down or at least get the story off the front page. Going to the moon for one. 1.5 Billion for "helping marriages" for another.And now the money shot - recess appointing a judge. As I said before, smart politics.

As I said before, smart politics. It's smart politics, but it's not for "holding the conservative base" because of the amnesty proposition.
It's to influence the outcome of the caucus vote on Monday.

Oh, for Heavens sake, give it a rest. This is wonderful news but you choose to be cynical about it. Do you honestly think Judge Pickering, father of Congressman Pickering, would allow anyone to play politics with his good name or his long, distingushed career ? The President gave the Dems on the Senate Judicary committee every chance to do the right thing. They didn't so he played the hand they dealt him.

Get a life! I am so sick and tired of you cynical types who only see a political equation to everything this President does. Vote for him or don't vote for him, agree with him or not, but quit tearing him down.

I don't know about "real" conservatives like you, KantianBurke, but I can never look at a photo like this and forget the overriding issue of our times. I can never forget this child's pain at the loss of her father on 9/11/01 or mine and I can never forget how President George Walker Bush held us all together. He shouldered his own pain, and that child's, and all of ours and he didn't let any of us falter. Now I don't know what issues will motivate your vote come November (and frankly I don't care), but I ask God every single day to keep me on the planet so I can cast my vote for my Dubya so there will not be other children who have to experience what this child did that deceptively pretty September morning.

Sorry, but I don't share you interesting assessment at all. I too, am angry over amnesty. This, however, has been in the works for a long time and should have been done a year ago.

Going to the moon for one. 1.5 Billion for "helping marriages" for another.And now the money shot - recess appointing a judge. As I said before, smart politicsI tend to agree with you on this. This amnesty stuff has really gotten everyone in an uproar, but what is even funnier to watch is the "rats" scrambling to figure out how they can oppose it and what is NOT to like about it which in turn causes them to move farther to the left. This has created a dialogue on the problem that at this point no one is or has really ever done anything about. I agree with Hannity by the time this (amnesty) is discected in the congress and senate it will be more restrictive and BUSH and his advisors know this.
The Pickering moment was done at the right time, and after a year of this man doing an outstanding and fair job, and about the time some are up for reelection, oh this s perfect timing IMO.
