And another point - maybe you should look to the one who caused the huge rift in the party. His choice will lead to even lower poll numbers and make it harder for congressional Republicans to win. Doesn't he deserve a good share of the blame for putting the Republican Party in this position when it so easily could have been avoided?
That's a great starting point. After the hearings it'll be at an 80% mark. What is this "only" stuff?
Maybe he didn't. Maybe she's a big ole rino. But our demonizing her is not going to help one thing. Not one thing at all.
Even if he had put up a great conservative with a record, do you think he or she would have gotten through even with a fight? I seriously doubt it. We have misdirected the anger away from the RINOs in the Senate who cannot be counted on. When push comes to shove we really do not have a majority. If we want this fight, fight it where it counts. Our support must go to those who are bonified conservatives. No middle of the road candidates. RINOs rule right now. Don't like it, change it.
Seems to me that you already have a lock on that position.
If Miers makes it to the court, she sure won't owe the conservative elites any favors, will she?
(Yeah, yeah...I know it ain't supposed to run that way, but....)
They haven't even given her a chance yet to open her mouth.
"A Gallup Poll shows only 58% of conservatives supported Miers"
That's a great starting point. After the hearings it'll be at an 80% mark. What is this "only" stuff?"
If you can't spin any better than that I suggest you inquire with the Clinton people...they are good at it.
Nearly 50% of conservatives are against Miers...and you think that is good?? It is a catastrophe. Bush screwed the pooch.
Fine, then vote her down. That would be far worse politically and cause even greater damage to the party.
"You gotta step into the real world. People are people. This is a political court. Making enemies on it is just plain stupid."
If this is true, we should stop critisizing Breyer, Stevens, Ginsberg, Souter, or Kennedy.
Maybe if we're nice to them they'll change their opinions on Roe, or Kelo.
Fat chance of that happening.
Have Scalia or Thomas changed their stances on issues to appeal to more people? Maybe that's why I like them.
Maybe that's what I expected from Bush WHEN HE PROMISED TO APPOINT PEOPLE LIKE THEM!
I may agree with you on substance. But I dont trust you or anyone else to define what is conservative. In fact I dont even think the term is relevant. If you think all American's are equal under the constitution than I'm with ya. If you think the bill of Rights are the bedrock of protection of the citizen from the Government than we see eye to eye. If you think that the People loan power to the Government than we agree. If you believe that you are smarter than the President, then I suggest you run for office, give Americans your positions on the issues and woo them with your keen intellectual gifts. If you truly believe you are smart enough to do it than let me know an I will send money to your campaign.
What difference does it make when we are discussing the SCOTUS? How about we stop the deflecting of the real questions?
No one is suggesting the Senate should filibuster her. The suggestion is that the President should withdraw the nominee, or that she should be voted down.
Miers should withdraw her name.
I'm of the opinion that Bush Sr knew exactly what Souter was and W knows what Miers is, both bones thrown to the liberals of both parties.
Your language is insulting. Just as is that 'female nut' with the insulting T shirt flying from coast to coast.
Your ad hominem attack is ridiculous and only reveals the emptiness of your point of view. But it's not only absurd, it's pathetic.
Someone changed Souter and Kennedy? Don't you agree with that????
