Is Bush's Second Term Becoming a 'Harriet Miers Presidency'?

This article is a liberal's prospective on conservative thoughts about Bush; almost right though.

[Echo Talon]

look out the sky is falling.

[RHINO369]

This article is pretty accurate as far as I can tell.

[rodeocowboy]

The lib was wrong on the oil issue though. I am totally for getting us weaned off the tit of middle eastern oil. If that means drilling in ANWR, so be it. But, I would rather be growing corn for our energy as Brazil does. Call it "green" if they want, but I call it national security.

[MNJohnnie]

If it does it is because pseudo Conservative like a handful of "Freepers" spend 100% of their time acting as "Virtual Campaigners" for the DNC. This is a thread is an excellent example.

The Saddam docs are all over Freeper. Do any of the Whine All the Time choir even look at those threads? NO instead they post the 10,000th hissy fit whine at Bush to help in an unwitting, or knowing, attempt to spread DNC propaganda.

So either they are political fools, or they are KNOWINGLY acting on behalf of the Democrat Party's 2006 campaign. So which is it? Fools or Traitors?

"Conservatives might someday buy Jeb..."

I think the whole "conspiracy theory in this article is right out of Bellevue Hospital. But let me say this, Jeb Bush's political ambitions were ended this week. Along with his son's.

[Holden Magroin]

Bush tried to sneak a liberal, Harriet Myers, onto the Supreme Court. No other evidence is necessary to prove that Bush is a closet New England liberal.

[MNJohnnie]

Hey here an Idea Florida DNCer, lets drill in the Gulf too. Ah that right, not in my back yard syndrome! Whine all the time, DO nothing! That is the ticket!

Do you know it takes MORE energy to produce ethanol or "green fuels" then is produces when you burn them? Where are you going to get the power? Most Electricity comes from, gasp horror, coal or nukes!

[MNJohnnie]

Nope. Tell you what. Go poll 40 D/40R/20I Likely voters instead of the current 38% Demns 27% Reps 35% Inds anyone over 18 standard the "Polling groups" are using. Get the same results then we will talk. Until then Garbage in/Garbage out. ALL this "Analysis" is based on propaganda, NOT reality.

Go to google.com and type in rodeocowboy. Then you will see all of the blood, sweat, and tears I have put in for Bush. Bush abandoned us; I'm tired of abandoning my principles and making up talking points to defend him. I can't wait until he goes. He abondoned conservatives; he's the "pseudo conservative." Good riddance to Bush and his brother, my Governor.

[MNJohnnie]

Chief Justice Roberts, Associate Justice Alito, Judges Brown, Luttig, and Pickering. etc etc etc etc

Game set and match for Bush. Psudeo Freepers exposed as DNC mouthpieces or fools. Probably both

[demlosers]

Actually, Myers was an unknown to conservatives. She may have been a conservative SCOTUS judge.

[harpo11]

The right wants oil drill'in, and Bush ain't all that thrillin'.

[Graymatter]

While I realize this piece is not the Gettysburg Address, and the world will indeed not long remember it --- I take exception to using Harriet Miers' name in this fashion. She wasn't your idea or mine of a Sup Ct nominee, but she took a bullet for her boss in the process, and she took it in time to spare him, herself and all of us a good measure of unpleasantness. Not to mention that she has been an able lawyer and a loyal friend to the President. You want to call him a lame duck, or worse, go ahead and make your case; but she doesn't deserve to see her name used to cut her President down.

[MNJohnnie]

Did anyone even notice that the Democrats wanted all Reopublican House bill enforcement mechanisms kept out of the Senate bill? When Republican couldn't get those in the Senate bill, they just killed it.

If you want the 2009 full Amnesty will voting rights to all Illegals the next day bill, then by all means keep pushing this DNC "Virtual Campaigner" garbage about "no difference between Repbs and Demos"

[xzins]

I didn't mind Harriet Miers, I don't have any problem with green energy, and I don't mind drilling for oil.

I'm a conservative....that means that I look to preserve valuable practices, beliefs, processes, items, etc.

It also means that I'll accept new practices, beliefs, processes, items, etc., that are also demonstrated to be positive.

[MNJohnnie]

Yeah activly helping your political enemies PR lines makes you either their dup or their ally. Squeal all you want that is simple reality.

[Kokojmudd]

I didn't know Corsi was a lib. Except for the excellent judicial nominees and WOT the President's domestic agenga has been liberal.

[Democratshavenobrains]

The problem is that all Republicans, upon becoming President, become more liberal. Does anyone believe that President McCain or President Frist would be in favor of a strict immigration bill? Even Reagan signed an amnesty.

[MNJohnnie]

Like most too good to be true stories, "green fuels" are a starting point, not a silver bullet.


http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethanol_fuel#Net_fuel_energy_balance

Net fuel energy balance

For ethanol to contribute significantly to transportation fuel needs, it would need to have a positive net energy balance. To evaluate the net energy of ethanol four variables must be considered: the amount of energy contained in the final ethanol product, the amount of energy directly consumed to make the ethanol (such as the diesel used in tractors), the quality of the resulting ethanol compared to the quality of refined gasoline and the energy indirectly consumed (in order to make the ethanol processing plant, etc). Although a topic of debate, some research that ignores energy quality suggests it takes as much or more fossil fuel energy (in the forms of diesel, natural gas and coal) to create an equivalent amount of energy in the form of ethanol. In other words, the energy needed to run the tractors, produce the fertilizer, process the ethanol, and the energy associated with the wear and tear on all of the equipment used in the process (known as fixed asset depreciation to economists) may be more than the energy derived from burning ethanol.
