[Chancellor Palpatine]

If Bush names Gonzales to replace ailing Chief Justice William H. Rehnquist, a prospect that is becoming more likely, conservatives worry that the president will shift the high court to the left, not the right, on key issues such as affirmative action and abortion.

Two of the major reasons why the GOP gets destroyed by suburban women and moderates in elections are because of vitriol in these areas. Maybe by exercising some pragmatism instead of doing the spittle spraying screams, it will easier to back out of some of the more liberal positions by electing Republicans instead of handing votes to Dems (who will demagogue the issues and expand the programs).

You mean we should bring in liberals in order to pander to those people who don't vote for us anyway? Are you working for the DNC?

[MissAmericanPie]

Oh yeah, of course your right, incremental backward steps are the way to go. Retreat! Retreat from conservatism while there is still time!! Win at all costs, especially by ditching your principles.

Many Bush hangers on, hanging by their finger nails for the one and only express reason that he can stack the court with conservatives are obviously in for a long empty fall. No worry though, they can still find reasons to excuse him, like you just did.

Two of the major reasons why the Dems have lost the House, Senate and most state legislatures is affirmative action and abortion.

When have you ever seen this actually work?

When's the last time you saw the Democrats adopt right wing policies (sincerely adopt them, that is)? Remember......their patter doesn't matter; I'm talking about actions, so "triangulation" doesn't count.

This "move more to the left to get more votes" bulls**t has gotten really, really old.
