You miss the point. Once she goes into the hearing room it's all over. She will go to the Senate and be confirmed. After all, the Demrats recognize the closet social liberal she is.
There will be enough RINOs and rats to seat her. Want proof?
Harry Reid thinks she is wonderful and other rats are holdinding their fire. They are in a no-lose situation.
Compromise? The Howard Deans are many things, but not compromisers. The party is dominated by the liberal left in a way that some conservatives would like to dominate the Republican party.
Don't you know? Anyone who questions, in the least, any action of the President is guilty of treason. Anyone who suggests the need for a healthy debate over principles, is guilty of seeking the impeachment of the President. /s
Ah.
You are comparing pro-Constitution pro-Life Pro Troops pro-fiscal responsibility and low taxes etc...to the Liberal wing of the party?
Those that supply Al-Quida with propaganda for al Jazeera? those that cheer our troops comparison to Pol Pot? those that support jacking taxes skyward and reciting foreign law?
Yes, what a fright it would be if conservatives controlled the Republican party.
I love the term RINO ... A true Republican would never leave the GOP, nor would they ever accept a victory by any Democrat, anywhere, for any reason whatsoever ... RINOs, sir or madam, are they who leave the ranks.
Then you are a RINO
Tell the truth - are you George Lakoff?
LOL...
He has a tough job.
Excellent. Looks like you ran into two of FR's "South Park Republicans."
Tell me, how is Traitor Jeffords ?
It pains me to say it, but I think the President is taking advantage of people's faith in order to advance a political "agenda," and that agenda may or may not include taking the abourtion question out of the hands of SCOTUS.
Overturning ROE, by the way, only changes the venue for making abortion policy. Instead of at SCOTUS, each state Court will do the same thing. The big battle just splits into 50 little battles. See, e.g., Massachusetts Supreme Court mandating the Legislature to pass a law that codified gay marriage.
Well at least he is in good company.
To hear the Bushbots sipping their kool aid tell it: Bush is the conservative mastermind and the 100+ some conservatives all across America who have been preaching the vision and leading the battles for the last 30 years are all to a one wrong? I am beside myself...
Well, we could argue about who is entitled to be associated with the term "base." But that isn't going to advance anything, is it?
I think it is fairly evident the GOP is undergoing a split. It's at an early stage, and the internal battle lines and battle tactics are still fuzzy.
I think your point was that the Democratic Party is a bunch of compromisers. The simple fact is that they control the Democratic Party in a way that the Conservatives do NOT control the Republican Party. In any case. you are leaving the religious conservatives out, are you not?
they
meaning the liberal left.
they
meaning the liberal left.
I'll have what you're having. Guess you didn't get the memo. I was told to get the hell out of the party.
What is different with Bush?
1] Carter's Iranian ayatollahs, or Bush spending $300 billion in Iraq while having knowledge that the Iranians are sending in terrorists and Iran makes most of the IEDs that are killing our troops--Bush does nothing, and even allows Iran to go nuclear.
2] Carter's "Panama Canal lost" or Bush's "New Mexico, California and Arizona lost" to Mexicans?
3] Carter's prohibition on oil drilling or Bush's failure to restart nuclear power plants while we pay $3.00 a gallon for gas?
Bush is starting to make Carter look like a world leader.
Just like we did when Buchanan and Traitor Jeffords left.
Not only no-lose, but also, no-confrontation. And, since the nominee is a cipher, no accountability. After all, how can you blame a Senator for guessing wrong?
Those wacky politicians, gotta love 'em.
