Do you have idle time on your hands! Whether you like it or not we have Senate and House raises coming up that will determine the future of this Country for the next two years. I find another one of these anti-Bush/anti-Bush supporters opinion pieces worthless and not worth the time you took to write it. Isn't it about time you all gave up the ghost and started concentrating on Taking Back the Senate and Keeping the House or we will get not one conservative judge confirmed.

IOTW -- quit wasting bandwidth and your time on this crap and start focussing on 2002 elections! If your Agenda is for Keyes, Buchanan, or whoever to challenge in 2004, then we will know if these hit pieces against President Bush and us continue! Which is it? Are you with us in 2002 or are you going to continue to try and split out the conservatives in order to follow your own agendas?

It would be comforting to think that you are right about getting conservative judges confirmed, but then I read things like this from Robert Novak's June 1 column.

CALIFORNIA GOP FRATRICIDE

Pinprick attacks by California Republican regulars on Gerald Parsky, President Bush's designated agent in the state, are growing into a full-scale onslaught. The main target is the Parsky-created bipartisan commission for clearing California's federal judicial nominations. Republican State Chairman Shawn Steel, who sees his position emasculated by venture capitalist Parsky, wrote an attack on the commission in the Los Angeles Times May 26. That publicized what the state's conservative Republicans have been complaining about for months: Parsky has granted effective veto power over Bush's judges to California's Democratic Sens. Dianne Feinstein and Barbara Boxer

. Steel's views have been reflected in unsigned e-mails distributed through political circles under the title of "Parsky Watch." An e-mail sent May 20 cites the liberal People for the American Way praising Parsky's system and quotes a Feinstein aide saying, "We've been working very well with the Parsky commission."

So, why should conservatives assume we will get conservative nominees?

Let me get into a double wager with you. First, let me unequivocally wage a million dollars with you that we are not going to take the Senate this fall. Secondly, even if we do, let me wage another million that we will have no conservative momentum in legislations. Let me wage another million that GWB will continue to embarass conservatives for voting for him.

I know you are addressing this to Stand Watch Listen, but it might be more appropriate to ask this same question of the president, don't you think?
