Bush to appoint "first" Hispanic (liberal) to the U.S. Supreme Court?

Well don't put your trust in government too deeply or you are destined to be disappointed most of the time. Gov't is compromise in it's most offensive ways much of the time... imo

[bduet]

I agree. Bush should be impeached at once and thrown out of office!!!!!! Beheaded maybe!!!!! There is no room in the White House for not nominating strict right-wingers to the bench. Maybe we can replace Bush with Pat Buchanon.

Brian, it is people like you who get people like Bill Clinton elected.

You don't like islam very much do you.

Badly written, repetitive, and no punch line.

Bush appointed both Condeleeza (sp?) Rice and Colin Powell. And while neither are real fire-breathing right-wingers, they certainly aren't leftists. Rice is a pretty solid conservative and Powell is probably "right-center".

I guess if Bush appoints a liberal of any race or ethnicity to the Supremem Court then we will burn that bridge when we come to it.

Stay well - Stay safe - Stay armed - Yorktown

Well, myself, I supported him because of national defense. He is doing a bang-up job on that. The rest of those issues (other than partial birth abortion ban) can wait a few months, IMHO.

Two oxymorons:

#1. An honest carsalesman.

#2. An honest polititian.

It would however, be of the utmost satisfaction if the government could be honest at least once or twice every couple of years.

Lies, lies, and more lies.

Doesn't seem to matter who is driving the train.

I take it you're not a Bush fan. I'm not a Bushbot, but all I have to say is wait and see.

I've been waiting, and I've been seeing. Just what will it take for you to finally say, what Bush is doing is just not right?

I waited and saw:

The Airline bailouts.

I waited and saw:

$205 million Amtrak bailout.

I waited and saw:

Federal prescription drug subsidies, $350 billion over 10 years.

I waited and saw:

Increased federal spending on education from $39.9-billion to $44.5-billion.

I waited and saw:

$255 million over two years to expand US media influence in predominantly Muslim countries.

I waited and saw:

Rejoined UNESCO, which now is control of US Real Estate and is working to eliminate property rights in the United States

I waited and saw:

$20 million annually for "Strategic Milk Reserve." Was phased out in 1999 by the 1996 Freedom to Farm Act. Congress extended it temporarily, and then made it permanent again in the farm bill that President Bush signed into law.

I waited and saw:

National Institute of Health to spend $24 million on a retirement facility for chimpanzees.

I waited and saw:

$165 billion deficit for fiscal 2002. I waited and saw:

$1.3 billion in military assistance and $655 million in economic assistance for Egypt. (2001) $2-billion in foreign-aid to Egypt. (2002)

I waited and saw:

$40 million in foreign-aid to the Taliban government of Afghanistan (May, 2001).

I waited and saw:

Planning to give Social Security to Mexican citizens in Mexico.

This is just the beginning of what I've already seen. It's more than enough for me.

Yep, Bush is governing like a Democrat.

Always a glass half-full, are you?

In case you haven't noticed, there is a good possibility we will be at war within the month. I do not think divisive issues such as English-only are what is needed at this time. Besides, that is about 1000 on my list of priorities.

In a few months, if we are not locked in a duel to the death with North Korea and Iraq, I would imagine you will see some judges, the PBA, increased border patrols, and some additional tax cuts. Some of the issues you mentioned were never in the Republican platform, and unless there is a groundswell of public clamoring for them, they are not going to happen.

George Bush TOLD you what he stood for. Just because you voted for him, doesn't mean he will adopt all of your favorite policies. I myself would like to see a requirement that all American students pass a test on the Constitution and the history of this country. I can make a case for why this is a good idea. However, I do not think it is going to happen, and I won't hold the President responsible for not backing it.

He is doing what he said he would. Anything else that I also like is gravy.

"I waited and saw:

National Institute of Health to spend $24 million on a retirement facility for chimpanzees."

Politicians finally have their own retirement home!

"I waited and saw:

Planning to give Social Security to Mexican citizens in Mexico."

Wait another six months and they will not only have S.S., but all the rest of the cake as well.

[thepitts]

Stop trying to confuse the issue with facts.

[BuddhaBoy]

I agree.

I don't mind vanities, IF they are more than idle speculation and present information in a FACTUAL fashion, instead of the author just spewing his opinions as though that was enough for credibility.

I wish the owners of this site would require in vanity posts, that the author provide references, supporting opinions, footnotes, or at least what you would expect to see in your average high school english report.

What we have are a lot of editorialists, thinking that their opinions matter as much as those from highly credible sources. They forget that those sources are fact-checked on a daily basis.

"George Bush TOLD you what he stood for. Just because you voted for him, doesn't mean he will adopt all of your favorite policies."

I have been voting Republican since 1972.

Reagan did what he said he would do.

It is hard for me to compare Bush with Reagan - he just does'nt have the guts Reagan had.

And by the time the PC crowd is content with whittling away the constituional rights and liberties Americans once had in this country, it will take much more than another Ronald Reagan to get them back.

My dad used to say, "worry about the things you have control over and stop wasting time worrying about thing you cannot control".

You better worry about all those stimulating refreshments you are taking. ;)

" If this administration was really concerned about terriorism they would have closed the borders instantly."

The obvious is always spoken last.
