When the picture of him with the afro shows up, it's going to hurt him with some voters.

Bush is acting like a King not a President and this "royal" pick is offensive... The SC is not where "loyalty" to a friend is rewarded. It's a place where "loyalty" to the constitution is rewarded.
Bush is ticking off a lot of good people...

I contacted [my] Senator Brownback last night thanking him for his response to the Miers nomination and urged him to vote her down.

If he backstabs on Miers he is done and he knows it. The party, not the Media, nominates in 2008. Don't get your hopes up, he will not be backstabing the Pres on Miers.

Bush is ticking off a lot of good people...This Miers pick is in the same catagory as his old man 'hangin around with Rapist42. You got your 'normal' Bush... the one you voted for twice who cut taxes & stood up to al Qaeda... and then you got 'Bizzaro Bush'.

The only Senator that I could think of voting for (at this moment) is George Allen, because he was governor of VA.
The other 99 would be worthless as President.
Feel free to respond if you disagree with me. I do like my junior Senator (Cornyn), but he's not ready for a Presidential race. I'm sure there's a few others that I could vote for after considerable thought, but I'm not ready to pull the lever for Senator Sam.
Good thing 2008 is a few years away.
To: xrp
Sam is a good guy, probably not realisitc presidential timber right now but definitely in the '08 Veep sweepstakes.
To: Night Hides Not
George Allen is my man! We love him here in VA. Would love to see JC Watts come back and be his running mate - think about all the football metaphors.

I know Sam well, and he always tries to be fair. I likewise contacted him, but I think you will find Miers will get a hearing.
Please read this article.

I'm probably going to back Guilani in '08 at this point if he can get his priorites straight on life issues.
Hopefully, he will beat Hillary like a red-headed stepchild at the national polls.
To: gopwinsin04
His questions will be answered during the hearing then when he votes for Miers what will the Antis say?
To: GOPJ
NOt really. Knee Jerkers and Conclusion Jumpers have convinced themselves that they should be outraged but other than complaining that they are ignorant about MIers have no substantial objections.
But on FR 70+% say let the Constitution work.
To: gopwinsin04
I'm probably going to back Guilani in '08 at this point if he can get his priorites straight on life issues, 2nd amendment issues, "gay rights" issues.....

I won't vote for any senator in the Presidential primaries that votes for confirmation. Make the right choice Sam!
