That is such an easy question to answer, I almost feel like it's stupid. What we got for our votes in 2000 is just the most conservative Supreme Court in mine and many people’s lifetime! That adds up to 50 years of influence. I call that a BIG THING!
Does anyone really have a problem with that?
So we stay home this November, and the super majority Senate puts in three super liberals on the court. Lets not give them the chance. I for one pissed off conservative evangelical will NOT do another Perot!
I'm not so sure about that myself.
Whether they think it in those exact words or not may be up for debate but I can almost guarantee that John McCain wakes up thinking, "I'm one step closer to opening the borders to ANYONE that wants to come in.", including any Islamofacist that decides it's time to become a human bomb in the USA.
For Mitt Romney it might be, "I'm one step closer to having governmental health care be the norm and have the government with the power to deny health care to those that don't use it judiciously."
For Mike Huckabee it might be, "I'm one step closer to being where G*d wants me to be so I can stop all those naaaasty behaviours some people want to engage in."
All of those things typically would destroy our country.
So, I'm not so sure.
“What ever happened to the Grand Old Party?
Well son, John McCain happened.”
As I see it, George Bush 41 happened. That genius pledged to continue the Reagan policies and then threw them out the window after the election. Reagan proved conservatism worked, 41 abandoned it to be a squishy moderate. That gave us the evil duo for 8 years. Then the GOP sold us Bush jr. Another RINO posing as a conservative. He has given no guidence to the party, spent like a drunken RAT, and failed to groom a successor. Like his daddy, he makes nice with RATS, gives their ideas credibility and has helped bring the STAIN back from impeached disgrace to respected ex-president. Bush 1 gave us KKKlinton 1, Bush 2 will give us KKKlinton 2.
More than mcpain. BESIDES!!!! it is more congress listening than the president, THE senate does those confirmations and the house and senate do the bills. DIDN’T WE GET RID OF HILARY HEALTH CARE IN 93 OR 94??????????????????????????
That's part of the conservative's problem.
It's not something to make a conservative feel better.
you couldn’t feaking pay me to vote for mccain or huck.
So you’re voting for Hillary then.
When Bush ran in 2000 he made a big point that he had worked with both parties to got things done. Texas had a RAT legislature during his term as governor.
That being said, he has been a big disappointment on the domestic front. When he tried to arrogantly and stubbornly push through amnesty, that lost it for me. I also believe he was working within the GOP establishment to defeat Romney.
This race was all about open borders and we will get them come hell and or high water.

I keep praying we get ONE MORE judge (preferably through retirement) before Bush leaves office. WAY before.
That’s how I feel too (check the tagline).
That's it?
Does SCOTUS write the laws that affect daily life? Do they have the power to raise taxes? Do they have the ability to enforce our borders? Do they have the capability of enacting laws or reducing the burden of govt. on all of us?
Bush has been an outright disaster on the U.S. He has done nothing from the bully pulpit of the presidency to encourage the American electorate to even CONSIDER conservatism. A dismal failure as the "leader" of the republican party.
McCain won’t be any different, and if you think so, you’re living the lie.
He’ll put moderates or mod libs on the court, and the end results will be the same.
And if you don’t think he will, McCain’s general campaign guy Warren Rudman was the guy who recommended Souter to Bush I as a conservative. Look how friggin’ great that turned out.
Even Dole said they (the repubs) were LIED TO about that one.
Well, son, Juan McCain happened.
We conservatives pooled our money and put out ads against him and ended up in jail because of Juan McCain’s favorite feel good CFR legislation made such ads illegal.
Our favorite conservative radio shows went off the air because Juan McCain instituted the Fairness Doctrine, further destroying free speech.
...now you goose step off to education camp, son, and don’t forget 1 and 1 is 3.
Guys, don’t forget we (conservatives)raised our voice over Harriet Myers and got that fixed...we raised hell over McCain Kennedy and stopped that. Keep fighting. I know it is discouraging after yesterday (and I’m very bummed over McCain being our nominee), but continue the fight - it’s worth it.

You forgot three words. "on judicial nominations"
Oh brother, enough with the hyperbole.
Our country is not in any danger of going under Sharia law. Our country is not in mortal danger from a bunch of goat . . . herders . . . stuck in the 11th century.
Intrusive, abusive, and corrupt government is a greater threat to us than some whackjobs in the Middle East.
