I voted for Bush, campaigns, and did my damnest to convince sportsmen and others to vote for him. Judges were the biggest issue.
We did our part - despite too many big government programs. Now it's our turn to get our reward - SCOTUS.
Look people, what we want is a nominee who is more conservative than O'Connor. Period.
It doesn't have to be a nominee that is going to stand up and throw conservatives red meat by stating publicly that he or she will support all our issues. It doesn't have to be a nominee that has a library of writings on staunchly conservative themes.
It just has to be a nominee who is more conservative than O'Connor. Even a little bit more conservative is a victory. We have GOP senators up for re-election next year from blue states. Rick Santorum is one and he's in for a tough battle. There is no reason to award that seat to a Dem by letting him be painted as an extremist.
What's the call. Is Gonzales more or less conservative than O'Connor?
So did I. And I agree wih you.
Bush has another Hispanic=American with solid Republican credentials on his list - he should use him and stop imposing his personal affections on what should be a ourelky political selection.
Frist has once again demonstrated he is a perfect @$$.
