Mitch Romney comes to mind tho I don't know his position on important issues. Border, 2nd Amend, Roe, PBA, Taxes, etc.

He is a LOSER

In 1994 he ran against Teddy . He was way ahead early in the polling so the boob giddy with the poll results comes out and says" I DON'T WANT THE SUPPORT OF THE EXTREMISTS NRA OR CHRISTIAN COALITION TYPES "

Hack politician

[Logical me]

"Five Democrats — Sens. Dianne Feinstein of California, Joseph Biden of Delaware, Edward Kennedy of Massachusetts, Charles Schumer of New York and Dick Durbin of Illinois"

Yeah, 5 Democrats that hate President Bush so much they would sell the Country down the drain. And I bet these rats will be reelected when time comes. Just no hope for some American liberals. Hate blinds and it could destroy our society.

the 'Rats are keeping their powder dry for the next candidate... and that's when the proverbial manure will hit the fan.

In retrospect, then, Bush should have left Roberts as the replacement to O'Connor, since his nomination was so hard to fight. He would have an easier time arguing that a conservative to replace Rehnquist was acceptable.

Now he has allowed them to argue that a conservative judge replacing O'Connor "moves the court to the right."

To argue thusly is to accept and enshrine bogus leftist cant. There is no precedent for any requirement that a nominee be ideologically similar to the departing justice, or that the existing "balance" of the court must be maintained. This is just leftist B.S. introduced at the present time because we have a President who has promised nominees more conservative than the current court. The "balance", such as it is, should result from the electorate electing successive Presidents based in part on their judicial philosophies. President Bush said what sort of jurists he would nominate, he was twice elected, so let's roll! Leftist propaganda should be scoffed at, rather than accomodated!

one down, but the search uh goes on

It's not bogus when our own elected R's cater to it. Whether or not I accept it, they do. As long as they're going to shrink away from "bad press," they should consider that when planning.

Trust me, Roberts will be the most conservative judge Bush puts on the court now that he has done this backwards.
