These people are taking us for granted just like the Dimms take to Blacks for granted !!

It is time to look to a third party who will have candidiates who are Pro COnstitution and Pro Christian and Pro Life. I am sick of these A$$ES and mean to tell them so. They won't believe us until 2 years from now when we can make believers out of all of them -- both the ELETE of the Left and The ELETE of the Right. They both have an extreme hearing defeciency !!

No matter what we do these jerks will not understand!

E-mail the Hell out of them to Bork Specter, his promises aren't worth SPIT!

Now is not yet the time to talk about third parties.

However the Specter fiasco works out, the true test will not come until it is time to appoint Supreme Court justices.

Bush promised us the likes of Scalia and Thomas - those who would strongly oppose judicial activism. He has so far been a man of his word.

And therefore, unlike Specter, I will give Bush the benefit of the doubt.

If Bush gives us moderates, or a SJC chair Specter helps kill conservative nominees, then we will know Bush lied to us and there will be a political price to be paid.

Until, and if, such an event occurs though, serious talk of third partyism is lunacy.

I feel your pain, but it's not the time.
Not yet.
Assume that Bush and Frist are both pro-life strict constructionists who want judicial reform, and intend to put pro-life justices on the courts.
Assume that they have calculated the risk of Specter blocking them, and have factored in his obstruction factor, but have also calculated the damage that will be done by him if they DON'T let him take that seat.
If they go ahead and let Specter take the position, it is a calculated risk.
IF Specter screws the President and Frist and does what we fear he will do...and what COULD HAVE BEEN PREVENTED by blocking him now...there will be no reason to give the Republicans any support in the next election, and a strong incentive to stay home or vote for third party candidates specifically to punish Republicans for their betrayal of the people who put them in power.

But we're not there yet.
It's a gamble the Republican leadership appears to be taking, and if they are gambling right, that they can get around Specter's obstructionism while still keeping his vote in the caucus, then they'll get their judges and it was a wise move.

So don't bolt yet.
Steady on.
Wait to see what Specter does, and wait to see if the appointees get through his committee and get their seats in the end. If they do, continue to reward the Republicans for having done the right thing.
If they don't, turn on the Republicans and burn the party to the ground.
