This fight will do nothing but give the democrats painful tummy aches for MONTHS to come, and when DeLay is proved innocent and restored to the Majority Leader of the House, they'll be in even bigger trouble. The joy at getting another Scalia / Thomas on the SC, and the retribution to come from the liberal attempt to criminalize conservatism by trying to politically assassinate DeLay, will serve to give them a HUGE defeat in '06 I predict. In the coming months conservatives will be energized, and libs will be frantic frothing radical fringe wackos heading to next November, just like they've been for the past six years.

His most recent cases are not as good as Casey and Schundler. Looks like he sided with a "gay" student who was taunted and a black death row inmate.

Yeah? I have $10 that says Bush will pick another no-name, unqualified stealth candidate.

My comment back to him -- told him to donate the $10 to RNC! :)

Seriously, RNC is going to need to get out in front of this one which I am sure they will -- I donated last week for this fight. Guess I had better donate to NRSC to take on the RATs that vote against Alito as well!

Mr. Mojo, I'm only one little person out here in internetland. To borrow a line, my little issues don't mean a hill of beans in this crazy world. However, in my world, I will not forget the insults of those who took President Bush's name and turned it into an epithet, Bushbot, for the sole purpose of trying to bully others into silence.

While I'm truly delighted at the choice of Judge Alito and wholeheartedly support his nomination, I believe the wounds opened recently will not heal. They will merely be papered over. The less honest among us will pretend they never existed in the first place.

Spending, for one thing. I don't recall reading him increasing the funding of a tarnished institution like the NEA for another,/i>

??? The NEA is a teacher's union. It is not funded by the USG.

"The National Education Association (NEA) is the nation's largest professional employee organization and is committed to advancing the cause of public education. NEA's 2.7 million members work at every level of education, from pre-school to university graduate programs. NEA has affiliate organizations in every state, as well as in more than 14,000 local communities across the United States."

While arguably more conservative than Bush in many ways, JFK isn't conservative enough either.

Arguably among whom? JFK may seem conservative compared to the Dem party today, but no one would consider him to be a conservative by any stretch of the imagination. He is certainly not more conservative than GWB.

Don't get me wrong. Bush, as things stand now, is the most successful wartime president in US history: liberating more people and land with such comparably low fatalities [even the 'unconquerable' Afghanis]-- that's a major accomplishment. It would take over 40 years to reach Vietnam level fatalities.

Sorry, but Roosevelt and Truman were the most successful wartime Presidents. They liberated hundreds of millions in the largest war in world history. Comparing Iraq and Afghanistan to WWII is like equating a gnat to an elephant.

It would actually take almost 90 years to reach the 58,000 lost in Vietnam. We have lost about 2000 in three years. Projecting the same level of casualties over the same time span, it would take 29 times three or 87 years to reach 58,000.

At the same time, we need to look hard at how the 2000 primary was hyjacked, or the same thing will happen in 2008. But who realizes we were hyjacked?

Hijacked? We won the WH against an incumbent VP during a time of peace and prosperity by the narrowest of magrins. Who else would have beatened Al Gore? Allan Keyes? John McCain?

"I've never been able to figure out why so many conservatives are frightened about a battle over the judiciary. We win almost every referendum on these volatile social issues. The public is with us, often by huge margins, on almost every issue that would be raised in a confirmation fight. That's the reason the Democrats are so desperate to maintain a leftist majority on the court. They know that leaving these issues to the voters means rejection of their agenda."

Exactly right. This is what the last two elections were all about, and there is no reason whatsoever to shy away from a just battle...

"CBS, DU, what's the difference?"

A great site to check the views and voting records of anyone running for congress can be found at..projectvotesmart.com

You can see the ratings by both pro/con groups on most issues.

I always check that site for anyone running for office if I'm not sure if they might be a RINO.

( It also covers state Politicos )

Thanks for the information! I'm glad Graham has spoken out...he really caught a lot of flak in SC when he aligned himself with the "14".

When I read Harry Reid's comments yesterday calling for Rove's resignation, I called his office and left a message that he should resign from the Senate for being an obstructionist. However, it might be in conservatives best interest to have someone that stupid as an opponent.

You can't just go by who he sided with - that is how Republicans have repeatedly gotten into trouble when trying to pick an originalist and ending up with a judicial activist.

You have to look at what the relevant laws were involved in the case and the what the details of the case were. There is nothing wrong with siding with a gay student who was being taunted if that was the correct ruling according to the relevant laws.

Do you have some insight into why those cases were wrongly decided? Did he "side" with someone inappropriate or did he apply the law correctly?

LOL! He is such a dope. I liked when, after the last failed cloture vote on Bolton, he admitted the DEMs had filibustered the nomination.

BURNED!!! Heh heh heh. Glad you found it. THAT'S funny. 8) Good use of the $10 he owes you! I think the RNC will totally get behind Alito on this. Bush is still batting 1000 on Judges, and the democrats will further destroy themselves attacking Alito. I wonder how many of them still really think they're going to gain any seats in the House and Senate next year. I sure don't see it. 8)
