Wake up, Freepers, this is war.

[kjam22]

I basically agree with what you're saying... I just want to stress that our white house did have a part in determing this "army" that we have to work with. It's not like a 1st year college football coach that is playing with somebody elses recruits. Our white house backed a lot of these rinos.

Let us stay the course, and stay on the side of President Bush. He is not a perfect man, but he is our man. In war, sometimes that just has to be enough.

I trust him

Worth repeating once again.

[Spiff]

Win or lose, I’m standing with President Bush.

Kool-Aid? No thanks.

Win or lose, I'm standing with conservative principles.

[Pukin Dog]

The critics are entitled, up to the point where they encourage the enemy, and discourage us.

[Iron Matron]

It is a war. It's a war between small government conservatives and big government statists. And Bush is not on the small government side. Neither, apparently, is the Republican party.

My feelings exactly. BUT I have decided not to moan anymore about Miers...what would be the point?

It is Bush's choice..let him have it..but on those things NOT his sole choice..such as merging USA with Canada and Mexico..I will fight down to my last drop of blood for the CONSTITUTION.

Miers better do the same.

A trashy, bubbleheaded little pop singer whose stated political views are, to sum up - "I trust the President so whatever he says I'm behind 100%."

Of course, this answer presumes you were serious about not knowing who she is.

[Pukin Dog]

I cant argue with that. I think that Bush is too trusting at times. He aint perfect.

[llevrok]

No black helicopters. But I think there is a civil war raging between the CIA/Intel/State dept. communities vs Geo. Bush.

It is old line, liberal appointments vs the new regime.

And I'll throw 50 cents in the kitty on Pukin's last vanity post.

Thanks for the concise analysis, PK. I hope it's not your last vanity; I've enjoyed several.

I'm inclined to reach the same conclusion because I think the consequences of a withdrawal now would be even worse than the damage done by the nomination in the first place.

If she is withdrawn and, say, Luttig is nominated, the Dems and MSM will howl that Bush caved to his "extremists" and proposes to replace Justice O'Connor, Saint Moderation, with Attila the Hun himself. A filibuster would be assured and with the media winds at gale force winning enough of the Gang of 14 to break it would be questionable if not doubtful. A successful filibuster would probably embolden the Dems to to it again with a third pick, a pretty good possibility given the age and health of some Justices.

To borrow from your war analogy, the only guage of success in war is achievement of the objective, not fighting the good fight. We need to maintain a mission orientation.

I have heard of her. I also had forgotten that "bubble-headed" statement. GWB IS president now. The alternative was John Kerry. I gotta go with GWB.

My war is with big government statists - I don't care if they're conservative, liberal, or just plain pigs greedy for power.

Time to step back and think about what exactly is important.

"We're going to get control of our borders, Our goal is clear, to return every single illegal entrant, with no exceptions." --G.W. Bush 10/18/05

Ooop, wrong thread.

[Pukin Dog]

Well stated.

However, I believe that with our backs against the wall, any Senator that did not go along with another nominee would have to deal with our wrath. Were Bush to go with Luttig after a Miers withdrawal(which is still the most likely scenario) it would be the crazy Republican Senator that did not stand with him. It would be close, but we would win.

I don't post very much, but on this topic, I'm especially torn. Good post by PD, but I think we're forgetting possibly the most important viewpoint of all:

Forty million aborted babies look down on us, waiting for someone to stand up and say R v W is wrong. Wrong morally, and wrong Constitutionally. Our warriors are our judges, dammit, and we're not putting our best team on the field.

Put forth Luttig; he's on record stating R v W is an abomination of American law. That's the truth, and it needs to be shouted from the mountaintops. Even if he is voted down, the TRUTH must be spoken. The debate must occur.

Leave the sneaking and scuttling to the Left, who's integrity and morality was wasted long ago.

People have some nerve telling me to support a darkhorse candidate, when forty million dead children are staring us in the face. For God's sake, THIS is The War. Right here, right now.

Never, never run from the truth.

Down, me? F-them.

I just dont want to be the focus of my own posts.

I would rather read a thousand word Dog rant than you stupid reply. Don't like the vanity, don't like the rant, then don't click on the link. Simple as that.
