Yep, he's learned that conservatives will turn on him like a pack of dogs just as fast as liberals will. Can't stand the heat get out of the WH.

[If this doesn't cause a rupture on the right side that will set the table for the left wing Rhinos to jump ship]
If it does, then so what?
Are they going to follow Jim Jeffords and join the Democrats?
Are they going to follow Pat Buchanan and disappear into thin air?
It's fine with me, either way.

BZZZZZZZZZZZT!!!
So sorry, thanks for playing.
Hate to rub it in, but boy do you have egg on your faces!
BWAHAAAAAHAAAAAAHAAAAA!!!!
To: frogjerk
I agree with you that she has showed a lot of class. I hope that this public exposure of her has not hurt her ability to work behind the scenes for the president. She has done an excellent job as his attorney from what I've seen.

As much as we all like Bork, you don't want him nominated. You want someone YOUNG who will be there a LONG time...

Sorry, but "not qualified" is not character assassination.
I have been on a ton of Miers threads, and the personal insults against her, at most, have been kept at a minimum.
In fact, I can think of none that I remember seeing.

"God bless you President Bush. It takes a big man to admit when he's wrong."
EXCUSE ME? I don't recall him admitting he was wrong. He just "reluctantly" accepted her withdrawal; thank you.

So many hateful people who want to call names to Ms. Miers. It has been shameful imho.
I never thought the people in my own party would be so cruel. It has been an eye opener to me.

"As much as we all like Bork, you don't want him nominated. You want someone YOUNG who will be there a LONG time..."
That's a valid point. On the other, a Bork renomination handled properly could drive a stake through the heart of the demonrat party.

"If he becomes vindictive, he will be abandoned."
There is irony in this statement, and I hope I'm not the only one who noticed it.
Anyway, you seem to assume that if he does not choose a candidate from your "annointed" list then he's being "vindictive" -- but that assumption is part of the problem. People who are always looking for a fight for its own sake tend to interpret things that way. But he has other constintuencies and the good of the country to consider.
To: Toespi
Now, let them see if they can get a pro-lifer on the bench... I don't care about their personal beliefs, I care about their judicial philosophy.

All I want is someone who will interpret the Constitution correctly. A Christian, Jew, even an atheist, as long as they truly believe in the Constitution (although a Muslim would be hard to swallow-not that I think he'd do THAT!) Even an atheist would allow the Ten Commandments in a courthouse and oppose Roe v. Wade if they truly believed in the Constitution.

Vodka straight up, thank yeewwwww!!!

The President let this be known two days ago in his press questions during a Cabinet meeting.
It was the 'Krauthammer' exit strategy used as prescribed.
Executive Priviledge... plain and simple.
NOW - nominate a strong strong player
To: JFC
Explain why she would have been a good SCJ? I want to know any facts that would help you prove that to others. I don't want your feelings. They play no part in this discussion. Prove us wrong with facts and not stupid bluster that proves nothing.
