I'm not being moody. I'm trying to help people use their brains. Mood, emotion, that's all fleeting. We need to get smart. We have a primary coming up in a few, short years, and we need to know that there will be another moderate propped up before our eyes and covered with tinsel.
At least Bush can be horse whipped into doing the right thing. People should pat themselves on the the back-- not Bush.
President Bush during the election.
I am with you on that one. Alito is a great choice, a down the middle staunch conservative.
Battle stations.
I wouldn't worry about McCain. He's running for President and needs to make cake with the base. He'll vote for Alito.
No prob. Me neither.
On what pretense?
"I wasn't really crazy about Miers, but denying her a vote was a disaster in the making for sometime in the future."
Like putting her on the bench without any qualifications would be any less a disaster???
"I have little choice. At 7:00 a.m. where I live, unless I want to hear pop, country, or rap music while I drive to work, I can listen to Imus or NPR."
.......................................................
that sucks, I would move to a more sane area of America.
See #214 re Lindsey.
That's not the question
The question is .. can you get him through the Senate?
Well, the committee didn't deny her a vote, nor did the Senate. She withdrew. I think Specter would have a hard time with pushing that line.
Putting my Bush sticker back on the car today.....
Good. I want to see it.
YES YES YES YES YES YES YES!!!!!!!!
I had done some preliminary searching on the internet and found out about that. It made me wonder why so many conservatives (including myself) had been praising Luttig as if he was the top choice. (I had even voted for him in the FreeRepublic poll.) Of course, there are many, many other issues than abortion. It's possible Luttig was solid on every single other issue. And it's also possible Alito may have some weaknesses we don't know about yet. However, I like what I see so far!
You better thank your lucky stars that we 'unappeasables' are out there. Now we have a decent candidate.
> This sucks. I protest. I wanted -MY- pick. Alito is not MY pick. I bet Coulter, Frumm, Krauthammer and all those OTHER Donner Party jerks will agree with ME ME ME!!!
LOL
WAH!!
"I'm still thrilled at this announcement, nevertheless. Time to fight."
Right you are! I'm glad, too, actually. Just trying to keep things in perspective. FRegards....
I suspect you're right. Then of course the MSM won't have him on to discuss that issue.
