Don't want to support a conservative candidate, or are you just upset that "your team" lost?

No .. What I don't like is when conservatives act like liberals with borking

The next nominee .. I'll be on the sideline watching the "Big Fight"

This is a wake up call for RINOs of all stripe.

Pretty much the same take Rush has and has been spouting since the Miers name was nominated.

He is wrong. This will backfire on you, not the Rino's. They have places to go, other coalitions to join, or they can just choose to ignore you from now on.

Ya see, everyone left of you and still right of center is held in disdain by you and your ilk.

You have no clue how politics evolves and works to achieve. Look it up someday, you will find definitions that indicate politics is the act of compromise and finding consensus. It is give and take and it always has been.

Now you will go to school. And I, oft called a RINO by your ilk will be the teacher.

Good Day! Hope you all learn something............I really do!

Maybe for some...but not all of us.

I have watched the Senate almost every day...and one of the most used arguements the Republicans use against the dems is...."President Bush deserves and up or down vote."

So...I just feel that since that is the Republican mantra...it should have applied in this case..

Plus...don't you think it would be been interesting, and possible enlightening to find out who would have voted for her and those who would have had the integrity to NOT fall into party line..and vote against her???

Well, if you can't explain your comments, I'm not going to the trouble to try to figure them out either.

There are certain people that it's easy to see aren't interested in a serious discussion.

You're one of them who's not worth the expenditure of energy.......you know cost/efficiency and all that......

Then you miss the Conservative position on these issues ~ when it comes to fundamental human rights, e.g. the right of a kid to live, the right of a kid to have parents (of different sexes), and so forth, it's insufficient for a candidate for the USSC to be expected to allow states to do whatever they wish.

Like I said, the woman is a Libertarian ~ you can tell that by reading all of her published decisions. None of you can be trusted by Conservatives.

"Put some ice on that. We stopped an unqualified crony with liberal leanings who writes as well as Bush extemporaneously speaks from infecting the Supreme Court for 20 years."

Very well stated. It's shocking, isn't it, to see just how indolent the RINOS are? They're indolent about nearly everything that really matters. They are not from the stock that gave us our Country, at all.

I voted for President Bush twice, and I like him, but he needed to be resisted here. Of course he has the right to pick whoever he wants, but he doesn't govern for and by himself. He serves those who elected him. And since you can't serve all of those disparate voices at once, only one can prevail, and it's about time it was the quite right of center voice.

>> Just remember most of the people who opposed Miers were the same who opposed Roberts <<

Odd, I distinctly remember applauding Robert's nomination and being antsy about Miers from day one. Perhaps you can check the posting history of myself and many other freepers to refresh your memory.

If "most" of the people who opposed Miers were also against Roberts, how come 80%+ of people polled here approved of Roberts for SCOTUS but only 30% were on the Miers bandwagon?

Again, you make an excuse for not explaining YOUR comment. You too are not worth the energy, as you are too lazy to do your own arguing. Hehehe..

Morning in America!! :)

You're correct. The College of Cardinals over at National Review and NRO supported Roberts. They did not support Miers. Their motives are suspect.

If you think Bill Kristol cares about the judiciary, I have a bridge to sell you in Brooklyn.

Bill Kristol is an enemy of the Bush family, and has been doing his best to stick it to them since 1988. I have spent a lot of time researching his doings, and I will tell you that if you choose to think he is a conservative icon, you are a fool.

Mr. Conservative was so alarmed that George Bush would win the nomination that he spent darn near two years pushing the only candidate that he thought could win....COLIN POWELL.

What, Colin Powell? That same Colin Powell whom, as Secretary of State was trashed by Bill Kristol? Yes indeed!

Kristol trashed Dan Quayle's prospects with bad advice and was not allowed into the 1992 campaign meetings by James Baker because he constantly leaked to the press. Kristol has NEVER been about anything but getting even with the Bush family. Any time he agrees with the President, it is accidental...as when Bush invaded Iraq. Kristol had spent two years pushing that very action, so he couldn't very well criticize the President for doing so. He COULD, however, criticize the strategy, the tactics, the goals, and demand Rumsfeld's resigination.

Bill Kristol IS a weasel. I have plenty more ammunition than this, and I can document it all, so don't come telling me how awful it is to criticize Bill Kristol...especially after I have spent two weeks seeing Harriet Miers called everything from a pig to a lesbian.

but he needed to be resisted here.

You and the dems have the same problem.............He's not running!

You skewered the coalition and from that, the majorities.

It will take a bit of time, but you should get a good reading after the '06 elections.

You will have to carry all the water. Don't you see that?

You think you can get away with this crap without a cost?

I guess you do........

I'm sure he believed what he said. McCain IS a national hero.

Are you dismissing Blackwell based on the fact that he complimented McCain?

Last paragraph from Miers withdrawal letter...

"I share your commitment to appointing judges with a conservative judicial philosophy, and I look forward to continuing to support your efforts to provide the American people judges who will interpret the law, not make it. I am most grateful for the opportunity to have served your Administration and this country."

We got miered out of a conservative by krystal, coulter and the NRO...this next one had better work out...

From the moment she was nominated, the Bush Adminstration planned the Meirs withdrawl to coincide with the CIA leak indictments.

The President hopes to suck the oxygen out of the air and divert and blunt the MSM drumbeat over the pending CIA indictments and the attempts to tarnish the Bush White House. The new nomination process now takes the lead headline for the next number of news cycles. Bush again is one step ahead of the leftwing gang in DC. Watch him control the news flow with the new nomination process.

"not have the courage," my fanny. I've told Wolfstar to his face how I feel. And if you think it's nasty to tell the truth, too darn bad. I'm tired of reading these spin doctors try to claim the insults were all from the anti-Miers crowd. If you want to join them in their delusions, feel free. However, don't expect me me to buy in, or to follow technical 'courtesies' y'all don't feel constrained by in smearing everyone who didn't support Miers as the 'attackers.' We know better.

Still on about that, I see.

Oh now THAT's funny. I've been on this thread most of the day arguing or discussing things with all kinds of people.........people I agree with, and people I don't.

You're just behaving like a jerk, and I have made the decision that you aren't capable of discussing things without a giant chip on your shoulder.

You're not worth my time, dear. Other folks might fall for your phony persona, but I'm not that gullible.
