The only ones who don't get it are the Dumb-O-Crats led by LITTLE TOMMY DASHOLE.

Dead leader walking.

They're also their own worst enemy. The Democrat-controlled Senate Judiciary Committee jettisoned the Pickering nomination yesterday on a 10-9 party-line vote, fueling criticism that Democrats are captives of left-wing special interest groups. The vicious, dirty, lowdown, scorched-earth smear campaign waged against Judge Pickering, who was nominated for a seat on the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, may have gotten the left their pound of flesh, but only at a huge political cost.

The Demo-dimwits have probably damaged the judicial selection process into the forseeable future. Looks like the Repubs will control both houses and will be able to select whomever they want for as long as they stay the majority, but I'm guessing, whenever the senate is different than the White House the party-line rejection will be the norm.

Morning, friend. Your analysis is right on the money, btw.

[JohnHuang2]

Dead leader walking.

His days as 'plurarity leader' are numbered.

The way Judge Pickering was treated was beyond despicable -- it was a travesty.

High praise from you, my FRiend. Thanks.

Respondents were asked if they thought the Senate debate over Judge Pickering's nomination was primarily based on politics or principle. Politics won out overwhelmingly, 48% - 14%.

Are there any major (TV) media types who are willing to present an HONEST evaluation of Pickering's background and qualifications in the light of what just happened?

This news must be so depressing to Aaron Sorkin that instead of having a couple of pieces of crack hidden in his bag of magic mushrooms, he will soon be carrying around a couple of magic mushrooms hidden in a bag full of crack.

Ah yes, conventional wisdom, meaning despite the best efforts of the media elite, the President is still beloved by the citizenry!

I have to believe that one of the reasons for Bush's continued popularity is because people have alternative news source access. No longer do the alphabet soup news outlets dominate how people receive news.
And by the way, I enjoy your "My two cents" comments.

Near as I can tell, they are few and far in between.

[JohnHuang2]

hehehe, you've got that right, my friend.

Let's see if they have the guts to poll on his handling of illegal immigration and his demand that Israel must continue to sacrifice her people to the terrorists.

These polls are becoming pure propaganda.

[Budge]

Excellent post, JH2.

However, Daschole continues to dominate the news with his Bush-bashing.

[Miss Marple]

Not to mention the people who hijack every thread here to do the same thing.
