Hey idiot, it's a joke!!!
Whoops LOL, sorry wrong reply to wrong person in wrong thread!!!!!
why cant it be the other way around:
"Bush warns likely new Senate judiciary chairman against opposing anti-abortion judges". or maybe Frist will.
Good idea. Put him on harbors subcommittee.
Just saw Lanny Davis on O'Reilly and he is singing the talking points of dems today
I'm not saying Specter's not a RINO, but you can be sure that Lara crafted her story in order to portray Specter in the most controversial light possible."
Thank you for the best post on the thread!
This is no surprise. Conservatives saw this coming during the Senate primaries in PA. Spector is in his last term and has no loyalty to the party. Think of a Zell Miller on their side.
He is the worst kind of scum. He represents the worst of the old time northeastern "Repubicans" that allowed the southern democrats (like Zell Miller) to rule the south through the early 70's.
We now have 55 senators and it only takes 51 to change the rules of filibuster. We just get rid of the filibuster rule.
See?...What did I tell you?...If the GOP twarts efforts to overturn Roe, I want to see social conservatives turn out in droves to vote for Constitution Party candidates 2 and 4 years from now...conservatives have put up with an unconservative President because of the hope that he might do something on the Court...If they don't get something more than crumbs from the table...It will be time to kiss the GOP goodbye...something I already have done...
How did Spector get to be head of the judiciary ..??
And .. after Bush rescued him from certain destruction .. how DISLOYAL and DISRESPECTFUL of him to TELL President Bush what he can and cannot do.
Maybe Spector needs to have a little heart-to-heart with the President.
Oh come on...do you honestly think he acts like that behind the scenes?
Don't forget now, Bush promised right after the election that he'd be a "uniter, not a divider".
It's not like Bush didn't know when he was supporting Specter's reelection bid in the primaries that Specter would be pulling this nonsense now. Anyone could have predicted it.

More from Hitler's classic.
When an opponent declares, "I will not come over to your side," I calmly say, "Your child belongs to us already...What are you? You will pass on. Your descendants, however, now stand in the new camp. In a short time they will know nothing else but this new community."
Looking back at articles, prior to the election, it appeared the GOP temporarily gave up the fight until the election, and they will fight for a rules change (which requires 2/3 according to some, a majority according to others), his other bill that makes sense.....give them one day of fillibuster, but after that, the number of votes needed to pass a bill drops until it is a bare majority. I like this bill.
But, they also have the nuclear option, which they may have to go to, which would involve the VP issuing a ruling from the chair that judicial nominees could not be fillibustered. It would need to be upheld by a bare majority.
Now.....could we even get the bare majority. I don't know. We would come close, but Specter, Chafee, Snowe....they at least would vote against it. Hopefully we would gain at least one Democrat, though I don't know who the heck it would be.
You don't think President Bush would have had a easier time in re-election had he stayed out of Iraq? I call that a commitment to his values. He could have kept his mouth shut on partial birth abortion and homosexual marriage. He did not. He pushed forward and was bold on these issues. I really do not see him compromising on issues such as the IRS code, Social Security reform, permanent tax relief and strict constructionist judges.
I must wonder why it always is the President that must reach out as well. Why the heck don't the Dems have to? Pure hypocrisy on their part.
