"Amen. I know this president. He does NOT like to lose. Look for a flaming liberal as your next SCJ."

Look at what you just said. President Bush is vindictive and cares more about his own ego and winning, than principle and the good of the country. If that's true, it speaks little for his character and surely such a person has been undeserving of conservative support all these years.

I'm praying your wrong and the President's character is far better than you give him credit for.

Just remember most of the people who opposed Miers were the same who opposed Roberts and oppose everything the Preisdent does. They hate him just as much as the kook left does which is why they sound more and more like them every day.

This is very tiresome, and it is obviously untrue. I supported Roberts, and so did most of the people who opposed Miers. Opposition to Roberts by Freepers was mild, and limited. Forty-five percent of the Freepers in this forum said they opposed her in the latest poll, and the number was growing steadily. If the poll had been set a week later, it probably would have been over fifty percent.

Moreover, most of the people who opposed Miers voted for Bush and supported him for the past five years. Nothing that Bush has done in the past five years upset so many of his supporters as the Miers nomination. Thank God he has recognized his mistake.

I have never said that I hated Miers. I have said that I opposed the Miers NOMINATION to the Supreme Court. There is a very big difference. Since she has been good enough to withdraw her candidacy, I sincerely wish her well and am only sorry she was put through such an unpleasant experience. It should never have happened, and I don't fault her for it.

Those opposed to the Miers nomination have routinely been scolded here for "not trusting Bush." What does it say about that trust if we're now supposed to worry about Gonzales being nominated? Wouldn't that imply that the trust given by the pro-Miers side was misplaced, if Bush would, out of vindictiveness, now nominate Gonzales?

Amen. I know this president. He does NOT like to lose. Look for a flaming liberal as your next SCJ.

LOL! Yeah, petulant footstomping and spiteful counterproductive retaliation - THAT's the attitude of a REAL winner!!

I really doubt Bush is the pathetic crybaby you seem to think he is.

Yesterday, I decided the "Antis" were right, substantively. However, the ones who were mean-spirited and took cheap shots have lost my support and friendship forever. Many here, and Ann Coulter, are on that list. They can pound sand.

Big deal we would gain more then we lose.

Has anyone looked at what the 2006 Senate picture looks like? I know we have a chance to pick up a seat in Maryland, but it looks like we're going to lose in PA (Santorum). I haven't watched other races.

We fear the chances are strong for Alberto. Sure it will further enrage the base. But no one, no matter how much they disagree with his positions on certain issues, or his past affiliations, will be able to question his credentials.

Apparently you have never been called a Bushbot or a RINO. I see no difference between that tactic and calling someone a racist to end the discussion. There is no difference between that and Political Correctness and that is the enforcement tool.

As for your baseball analogy, you are welcome to your opinion.

Our side violated every one of those supposed principles in this fight. It weakens us in future battles. That's why I think Bush will once again (like Roberts and Miers) focus on the LEGAL philosophy of the nominee. But this time, he'll pick a stronger, better known person...I think McConnel or Luttig, or maybe even Ted Olsen.

I disagree. She was just NOT a good pick. Not from an ideological standpoint, or a political standpoint, or a legal standpoint, or any other standpoint you want to suggest.

And if you think that many disagreed with this pick because of an ideological standpoint, you missed the point. WE did not want a candidate that would AGREE with us ideologically. We wanted a candidate that would have a strong history of standing up for the Constitution. She does NOT have this history.

Like Rush continues to say, "This need not have happened."

I agree with you that it's better to avoid a bloodbath, but in the case of JRB, the rats made a deal to not to filibuster her. If they tried, it would've been the GOP's golden opportunity to turn the table on the Democrats for reneging on their deal. Win-win scenario... IF the GOP can play politics, which we know they can't.

So that means that Brown/Luttig/Owens would all be DOA, there would be a big fight, but ultimately they would fail. I think the Bush team realizes this.

They would not ALL be DOA. One, maybe even two of them might not make it, but we only need ONE for the court. The dems would be severely damaged in the ensuing fight, and we would have a marvelous opportunity to educate the populous on the virtues of conservatism.

You think it will be another woman?

No. Could be, but I think the white males are quickly floating to the top of the list.

What's up with the "we".

Just following your lead, I'm sure. After all, you have no problem referring to your opponents in the plural, even when addressing a single person, as you did at #1206:

"Buchanan 'conservatives' bathe in vinegar."

Actually, that's pretty hypocritical on two counts, now that I look at it.

You and a few others were consistently wrong with almost every post regarding this issue. Now why not shut up for a while, and cool your jets.

With any luck at all, he'll learn from this fiasco.

Or the so-called conservative cognoscenti will learn a lesson.

Conservatism has been gaining members for 40 years. It was inevitable that pressure would force cracks in the mass to show up. Nothing is ever static. I just hope that we will not lose too much momentum.
