"Having sharpened their knives on Charles Pickering and D. Brooks Smith, Democrats on the Senate Judiciary Committee turn [today] to Priscilla Owen, President Bush's nominee for the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals. The accomplished judge had better wear her battle armor," the Wall Street Journal says.

"Just chronically pessimistic towards this aspect of the Republican agenda."

Don't go cynical all me now...this is the first time in over 50 years the GOP has controlled the Executive Branch and the House of Representatives simultaneously going into a mid-term election!! If we can get the House to set a basic, Conservative Agenda of what will occur were the GOP to Retake the Senate and Retain the House this November, and then defend that Agenda vigorously, we can put a whuppin' on the RATS this Fall!!

Lib'ralism's DEAD!! Now it's time to start riddin' the Guv'ment of Lib'rals!!

"The question I have is where is the pre-Hearing PR by the Bush administration?"

Good point...I saw one or two articles the last few days, but obviously we cannot match the Networks' immediate volume on the issue. Still, when you get down to it, the Left is hinging its argument being virulently anti-Parental Notification!! It behooves the Right to take a stand on this issue, and I believe they will.

"They just can't keep sending people up there to get slaughtered by this bunch of bolsheviks without some planning and forethought."

Agreed...where is the next generation of Lee Atwaters when we need them?!

This sounds like one of those "litmus tests" that the Democrats always accuse the REPUBLICANS of having for judicial nominees. But the a**hole press rarely calls them on it, rarely points out that the Democrats' litmus test on abortion is arguably stronger than any litmus test the Republicans might have.

You got that right. Hypocrisy? Who, little 'ol us in the New York Times or AP? P'shaw!

PFAW has been appointed the point group to block all these nominations. Wonder what the reason for that is.

Nothing personal against Dubyuh, but that sort of response would be spineless in an election year!! Dubyuh's Right on this issue and ought to be willing to bloody his knuckles a tad...what good's being Right if you ain't willing to defend yer position?

I think just the opposite. It's a shot across the bow that he's going to get what he wants.

"I think just the opposite."

Obviously, that's something I must remedy over time...)8^D.

"It's a shot across the bow that he's going to get what he wants."

Winning the Hearts and Minds of the American Sheeple will require that we take strong stands and vigorously and publicly defend those stands so that even the Vast, LeftWing Medyuh Whore'd's Network pee-ons can't spin the Truth!! A recess appointment would avoid a debate I believe this Nation needs to undergo, my FRiend.

"You are waiting for the President and/or the GOP to 'GIVE YOU SOMETHING TO VOTE FOR'???"

Yep...Dubyuh and the GOP's unrestrained spending (Education Bill, Farm Bill, etc.) needs to be curtailed or winning elections will become a exercise in futility. The GOP needs to get strongly behind Education Vouchers, Medical Savings Accounts, Social Security Personal Savings Accounts, and any other domestic legislation that disempowers the Federal Leviathan while transferring $$--and accountability--to States, Localities, and Individuals.

"Are you sure you aren't a dem?"

Dem's fightin' words, OldFriend.

"I have two words for you Tom Daschle."

Sure, there are many who are content with voting AGAINST the RATS, but I believe we need to do something with the Power the GOP gains this November, and declaring a RightWing Agenda will give us the mandate to do just that!!

GOP needs to control 53 or 54 Senate seats come January '03, just to be certain RINOs like McStain can't do another Jeffords.
