Broad appeal to whom? Socialists? And why would any of us care?

Apparently more than your candidate. I doubt you care because you dont care if you win, just that you can stand up and say I'm Ideologically pure. I would think you would care whether a Republican or Democrat nominated Supreme Court nominees but then if you got what you wanted, then what would there be for you to complain about? Heck you might actually be responsible for governing. What a concept.

“I doubt you care because you dont care if you win, just that you can stand up and say I’m Ideologically pure.”

Sorry. I’m not into ideological purity. I’m also not into abandonment of conservative principles because it might be fashionable with CNN and the rest of the leftmedia this week. Winning at any cost usually means winning at every cost.

“I would think you would care whether a Republican or Democrat nominated Supreme Court nominees but then if you got what you wanted, then what would there be for you to complain about?”

Actually, I wouldn’t care if the person nominating a future Justice was a Democrat or a Republican. Check out the site name. I’m a Democrat. But more importantly, I’m a conservative. I want conservative Justices nominated. I don’t give two hoots and a holler whether the person doing that has a (D) or (R) after their name. I find it highly unlikely that Mayor Giuliani would actually appoint any conservative Justices as President. Unless, of course, your definition of “conservative” includes Justices Ginsberg and Souter.

“Heck you might actually be responsible for governing. What a concept.”

I take it from your sarcasm that you think that completely prostituting your principles is a fair price to pay to achieve and maintain political power. You’ll be happy to know that there are a lot of people in politics who share your view. I just don’t happen to be one of them.
