The witless pubs ahouls have seen the headline coming. The rats did indeed hold up a ton of Bush appointees. They went so far as to keep congress in session by having one or two senators show up, convene, speak for a couple minutes, then recess for the day. They did this to avoid letting Bush appoint Miguel Estrada and a couple others he wanted to put in important judgeships.

If zero was going to make the appointments during recess, fine, let him do it. Why give him the headline? All it does is piss off the base and undermine support for the pubs, as easily evidenced by many, many posts on this thread.

The real failure on the part of the pubs is that right when the voters are especially anxious to see some conservative spine, they display their yellow bellies instead.

Dumb shitz.

While you're right on this one point, this whole zero-sum game of politics is what turns people off. "Well, DEMOCRATS held up BUSH appointees, so WE'RE gonna hold up YOURS!"

Putting aside that the Bush hatred around here only pauses for moments like this (that's some logic--we hate Bush, and how you dare hold up that RINO's appointees!), the American people want to see that conservatives don't have to play this childish Rahm Emmanuel crap.

If these appointees shouldn't have been passed, the spineless Republicans should have rejected them if they are okay to be passed, they should be.

McConnell and the rest of leadership are doing a helluva job trying to prop up the Rockefeller wing of the party. We don't need anymore of that, we need conservative leadership. But we don't need childish leadership of any stripe.

I could have sworn we were the "adult" party. I guess that's just talk.
