They worship something, but it ain't God.
I think I called him the worst name...."RUSSERTY"...LOL
You did everything in your power to trash her, and now you expect Evangelicals to walk away from it. I'm sorry, but they are not going to forget.
I believe people can change. President Bush does as well; he knows this from personal experience, and so do I, hence my support of him and Miers. It's not like he was asking someone like Hillary...
Then effectively, the presidential appointment power has been usurped by Senator McCain and the rest of his cabal. I had thought that the Constitution invests the President with this power, and it is a plenipotential power. That is, he shares it with no one. The Senate's role is to advise and consent, exercising that role by a simple majoritarian, direct, straight up-or-down vote of the entire Senate. Since when does the power of a Senate committee trump the clear language and meaning of the Constitution?
But as evangelicals, they SHOULD forgive and MOVE ON.
It had nothing to do with her being an evangelical. Get the chip off your shoulder. See my sig line - it's over. Deal with it.
I can only speak for myself, but the reason I love Laura's show is that she has a wise-ass cynicism about everyone involved in government, no matter which party or ideology they come from, and she busts on them accordingly. For someone like me who is cynical about politicians and government employees in general, her show is refreshing. Plus, she's pretty friggin hot.
LOL, glad to see I left a mark.
Don't think so.
Hellooooooooooooo 78 VOTES, to the right we can lose 28 votes and still confirm someone, we just need 60 of the 78 votes in favor of Roberts to end a filibuster.
Because there are 11 Rinos on record opposing the nuclear option.
That just isn't so, despite all your crying. There were 50 votes in favor when the Gang of 7 torpedoed it because they didn't really want to, although at least two said they would if they had to.
While I'm in 100% agreement with you on Janice Rogers Brown, it would be a hard sell. This great woman is as conservative as they come. The Leftists are in full attack mode with her already. Ironically, the very points with which they attack JRB are the very ones that endear her to me.
I also believe people can change...in fact, I think most people do change; having said that, however, Miers is 60 years old...you'd think by this time in her life, it would be quite easy to see/know (from a paper trail) in what way she's changed or what her positions are (a red flag in itself)....the information we have gleaned from some of the paper trails she's left (i.e., supporting affirmative action) raises red flags.
Being an evangelical and a good bowler, while both admirable attributes, are not, in themselves, qualifications for a lifetime appointment to the SCOTUS.
Not a cultist. Not a worshipper of false idols. Not a kool-aid drinker.
A free thinker who thinks deeply about issues and has core values that can't be shaken.
And yet, I have been called all the names you list.
Funny.........isn't it? How wrong a person can be......
ANY Public disagreement among conservatives and/or Republicans no matter how polite and civil would be treated as fodder by the Democrats (which includes the MSM). That's the way it is. We shouldn't forgo disagreements for that reason.
Next to the War on Terror, the Supreme Court nominees are the most crucial issue for this administration. It is far more important to get these nominees RIGHT for the posterity of our nation, than to remain silent to withhold fodder from the Democrats NOW.
She did the right thing. Bush's nominating her was, in my increasing opinion, a hostile act. I still don't know what in the world he was thinking.
