rushmc 18 #2 October 9, 2005 It is an interesting (and somewhat ugly) twist. Your title to the post is right on. More than anything else I get pissed off by double standards and the conservatives are using one now if they move ahead. I too am pissed at GWB with this pick. (she may be great) I wanted the fight to get a known quantity in the Supreme Court. I do think I understand the presidents reluctance to take the fight on because of some of the less gutsy Republicans that he would have to count on to win such a fight Will be interesting to watch........"America will never be destroyed from the outside, if we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves."

rasmack 0 #3 October 9, 2005 You're not implying that these honoured republicans would resort to (gasp) litmus tests on issues they feel are important?

So you don't think it funny that those who adamantly opposed probing Roberts on the issues are now wanting desperately to probe this lady? No. Now if you had made a post that said "here is someone who opposed asking Roberts about specific issues who now doesn't hold the same standard on Miers", then I would agree with you. But you have framed it as it being a constant throughout the Republican Party and Conservatives. It's a bullshit article and you know it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So you don't think it funny that those who adamantly opposed probing Roberts on the issues are now wanting desperately to probe this lady? I heard this on the radio today, her name is Harriet. When was the last time there was a scandal with a person named Harriet? There's nothing there. No dirt. No poop. Nothing. Her name is Harriet, think of the good women named Harriet: Harriet Tubman, Harriet Beecher Stowe. With a name like that, she should get a pass. I was laughing at the simplicity of it.So I try and I scream and I beg and I sigh Just to prove I'm alive, and it's alright 'Cause tonight there's a way I'll make light of my treacherous life Make light!

I can tell you the next month or so will not be a very good time for Republicans. Miers name will be withdrawn. There is trouble brewing on the horizon.

Not because they have come up with any better answers to any of the problems facing our country, but because they will be able to say "well, at least we didn't do X." It would be nice to see someone talking about solutions instead of talking about how the other guy screwed up worse. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Most of he trouble I'm talking about hasn't surfaced in the press yet, but it's pretty bad if it's true. If so the people involved will not get support from me.

Yes, and I would like to have a little monkey who would serve me finger sandwiches and beer. Alas, neither are likely to happen in my world anytime soon. Why yes, my license number is a palindrome.

I'd be happy with a hedgehog that could tow a little cart with beer on it. A monkey could get annoying. All the chittering and chasing of bananas and whatnot.
