I was going to ignore this thread..., but noooo, you had to do it. You had to do it!!! ;-)
Right now I’m thinking ahead to 2012. I’m thinking Ted Kennedy might not be so bad. I know we’ve ripped him for decades, but if we can get him to change his party affiliation, I just might do it rather than let a Demcorat be elected.
Nancy Pelosi has another fine mind. Like John McCain, she’s been ripped by Conservatives non-stop for quite some time. If only she would change her part affiliation, who knows.
Harry Ried, Barney Frank, Janet Reno, Gray Davis, come on down. You could be the proud winners of Conservative support. All you have to do is get an (R) after your name and promise that you are now a Conservative. Conservatism is changing. Those old worn out values don’t matter any longer.
Here’s a tip folks. No matter what you’ve done in the past, just promise that you’re going to be the best president, like ever. The brain trusts of Conservatism will herald your rebirth and back yer ass.
Now this may sound like a really uncomfortable thing to do but keep this in mind. It won’t matter if you voted for Ginsberg, Kennedy or Souter. It won’t matter if you did things like advocate the issue of MIAs be put to rest, or advocate on the behalf of illegal allien crimmigrants. It won’t matter if you advocate Europe get sign off on our policies. It won’t even matter if you support Al Gore’s global warming. See, this is going to be less painful than you thought. Give it some thought.
BTW, all you Democrats out there that I’ve been railing against for the last four decades, I’m sorry. I should have been voting for you. Just about every leader of my party today says so.
All you Clinton supporters out there that voted for Bill no matter what because of the letter after his name, I’ll have to beg your forgiveness too. Voting for people today because of the letter after their name is in vogue.
God have I ever been a fool for the last 40 years. I could have been supporting your policies for all that time and still be a Conservative in good standing.
James Carville, what are you doing in 2012? Give me a call bud. I’m in the (R) area code.
Sorry, D1. It is just so following the Schwarzenegger model that I decided to ping a few folks.
I’m saddened by this move because I see it as just the beginning of what we will see for the coming years with a McCain presidency. If the Tancredos of the world have now been silenced, there will be no stopping a liberal(R) leader who has the support of democrats and has been able to squelch opposition from the right—on Amnesty, Global Warming, LOST, etc. The ‘third way’ global governance politicians are succeeding and all some can do is rail against those who are trying to warn them, calling them “McCain haters.”
I don’t know what it is going to take to wake some folks up.

Very well said
You probably should not have had this sentence in your argument.
With Souter who knew? If you knew what he was like before the confirmation, you should have told someone. I remember it was a total surprise when he turned out the way he did.
I believe Ginsberg was confirmed with 99 senate votes. That means some of the most conservative Republicans voted to confirm her.
