From your response, I'm not sure if you agree or don't. If you think the democrats won here, I'd have to disagree.
They may not have won, but regardless, they will be able to frame it as if they did (with the help of MSM of course).
I am not disagreeing with you, the dems may not have won, but it does not mean the GOP won either.
From what little I knew, I was leaning against her nomination, but still did not have enough factual information. I am still concerned about the process. And once again, I like the debate. I am not a good debater, so reading the differing opinions of others gives me a foundation in a seek for what I seek as truth.
I guess I am objecting to those who did not allow enough information to come out prior to calling Bush a traitor to the cause, demanding Bush withdraw the nomination. IMHO, that is what has given the dems the fodder now to say once again Bush has fallen to the extreme right wing of the party.
This is what the dems wanted. We gave it to them. We know it is a load of poo, but since the dems framed the Rockefeller memo, plamegate, etc., they have a better chance of coming out on top with voters.
If he does send up the name of JRB or any of the others we wanted to see, it will be so much easier to portray her as a mandate of the extreme right wing. Add the gang of 14 variable and MSM and it is anyone's guess. Can Frist get his party to fight the fight with another nomination? Can we count on the dems members of the gang of 14 to stay true to their word?
IMHO, someone should have known this nomination would stir up such a ruckus. We all know Bush is probably major po'd right now which may be a good thing. Maybe it will bring back the "bring it on" Bush I thought was most effective.
