One word--judges.

That's right. If we conservatives hadn't supported Bush the Elder we wouldn't have that great conservative jurist David Souter on the bench now.

We also wouldn't have Clarence Thomas.

Actually, Bush would have probably nominated someone else if it weren't for John Sununu Sr. talking him into it. Souter had no track record and Bush was reluntant to pick him, but then advisor Souter (R-NH) heavily lobbied for his local guy and INSISTED he would be a "home run for conservatives". So Bush gave Souter the benefit of the doubt.

The lesson? Select Republicans who will insist on PROVEN conservative judicial nominees. This is probably a big reason why Sununu the Younger would never get my vote in the primary...although a bunch of freepers want to conviently ignore the family track record (and the fact that neither Sununu will admit they screwed up with Souter!)

It is troubling to me to see GWB seemingly caving in, one after another to the soc/lib/rats and rinos signing rat/rino socialist bills one after another.

Maybe he has a better pulse on how far this Country is in deep clinton, and is just trying to stop the leak in the dam of freedoem.

He probably knows we will eventually IMO develop into a New World Order of a Workers Socialist Workers Republic.

I would love to see him step up to the plate and veto, veto, while the rats go into a jugular mode backed by their communist professors and leftist media, and, course, the pssy rinos who value their pontification more than what was supposed to be their principles.
