And a logical honesty test for Arfcommers. He nominates Alito. Outstanding. When a politicians does something right, he deserves credit. Let's see who gives him his due praise. We know who you are, you Arfcommer Bush haters. Like you I've criticized him when he screws up. Question is, do you possess the intellectual honesty to give credit where due? Largely, I doubt it. |
read one of the half dozen threads about him. He's got more experience on the bench than any Scotus nominee in the past seventy years. He's been confirmed twice in the past by US Senate for two federal judgeships, both times the confirmations were unanimous. He is a stellar candidate and a friend to gun owners. |
I dont think the right was smart enough to get behind her. Her writings on the Second were clear an absolute. The left didnt know enough about her to counter her, and had no ammo to do so. HE has always made good picks, imho, in both cabinet and bench. I had zero issues with Harriet. |
This is clueless citizenship. This is a nation OF BY and FOR the people. Which means if teh people lead, the leaders will follow. A KEY method of citizen leadersip is PRAISE for pols that do right. REGARDLESS of what they've done in teh past. Psycologists call it "positive reinforcement." Just keep hammering on Bush, with no positive comments when he does right, and see what it gets ya. Clueless. |
What makes you say that Meiers is unqualified? She has a stellar background as an attorney, is honest, hard working and knows the law. Not all nominees or justices have been judges before becoming justices. She is highly qualified, just too many are scared because she is stealth. Alito is an excellent nominee too. But, too much information available so that the libtards will probably attempt a fillibuster. |
a lot of us remember the fucking bush's daddy gave us on souter, another "stealth" nominee. Also CFR, open borders, patriot act, kelo vs new london and a host of other issues are not making a lot of us want to trust W at the moment. He needs to regain our trust, and appointing Alito will help with that. |
I heard IdiOReilly saying something similar the other day. "Knowledge of the law" is irrelevant. Personal injury lawyers "know the law." For SCOTUS, you want Constitutional scholars. Constitutional law is a precise area. Not ANY smart lawyer will do. In essence, you want the nine best Constitutional scholars in the land - you want the "dream team" . "Honest, hard working" etc is great for district court, but NOT SCOTUS. |
|
Mine too. I'm still convinced Miers was a throw away nominee. Bush is a master of politics of the possible. He knew how important these two pics are. Most of the country just wants nine black robes up there. Dems opposing Alito now will just look like obstructionists. Which of course they are. |
I feel the same although I will be willing to say kudos if this guy turns out to be what he is being pumped up to be. Praise for a good choice is one thing, but I'd prefer it didn't take a rebelion (political) to get results. Although that IS the system working, nice to see that happen sometimes. |
I don't buy the "master stroke" theory, but whatever, if we get a good one replace O'Conner that's a big win! |
this is koolaid drinking. positive reinforcement is great when things are done properly. Giving someone an ata boy after a screwup is being a "yes man". I am very happy with his current choice and will give him credit for making it. the problem with your thought process is this.... at he level of presidential policy there is NO room for screwups. we will feel mistakes at that level for a LONG time afterwards. |
Then he's perfect |
Dude, they had to let her rewrite some of her answers to the questionaire she responded to. She made mistakes on pretty basic constitutional questions that had to be corrected. |
|
I will say that I give GW a thumbs up on the tax cuts that he signed into law. I will say that it looks as if this nominee should be a good one. But I do believe it was only to bring the conservative base back under control. I am still not a bushbot nor am I in his camp. Klinton did a couple of things right too, but I was never in his camp. |
Or it could be viewed as the base bringing Bush back under control. It kinda saddens me to see people think they can just elect a politician, and then think they don't have to do anytyhing further. ITS OUR JOB to CONSTANTLY remind Bush et all what we want. |
but if we do that, you consider it bashing. 
|
See my "scAlito letters" thread to see the BALANCE I am advocating. You gotta BOTH praise AND admonish. Its BOTH AND. I send letters to my CongressCritters often. I always pair praise and admonition. From some people I ONLY hear vitriol and criticism (my mom is one of those people) NO ONE is motivated to positive action that way. NO ONE. You need to realize that. |
what exactly makes you think i don't? i most certanly DO write them when things are done right. I am not going to write a letter that says.... HEY! great job on your second choice. |
Nor did I. |
Props to who? |
|
GIVE HIM CREDIT? hell no..I thought this guy was appointed to do good. ALL the time! not just when it benefits the conservetive base, Bushy has done so much wrong you people now praise him for the little things he acctually gets right? wow. Im tired of people buying into this monkey..This guy couldnt manage a donut shop if it was given to him! look at his past, he drove every buisiness he's got his hands on into the ground!Does he convince you with the dumbfounded look on his face? or maybe the slurred speech? What more could he do wrong? Granted clinton wasnt an angel, but honestly. this guy has touched the recored books. Hes royally fucked up, and he got away with a war so he thinks he can get away with it all! |
 alarm is going off.
|
I think DU lost it's idiot. |
No, the fact that Iraq had them at one time is not in doubt by anyone. The question is, what happened to them? I suppose geniuses like you have a great answer. Maybe you should write Collin Powell a letter so he can redeem himself. |
Anyone who doesn't have a leftwing bias can figure it out. Those who can't just don't want to. Who the hell is Collin Powell? |
I assume you are kidding about Colin Powell. What happened to them then? Did the UN carry them away for safekeeping in their black helicopters? Do the Chinese have them stored in Montana? |
The "45 minutes" is the time it takes to prepare and fill chemical artillery shells in something close to a safe manner. Its not nonsense, but was taken out of context. The yellow cake shipments to Iraq were confirmed and they found a bunch of it in Iraq. The only thing in question was one particular shipment from Niger. The previous 4 or 5 shipments did happen. |
You don't have any children, do you? And you've never worked with children, have you? You don't have any people that work for you do you? You've never had to manage people have you? |
I would like to hear of these good deeds please. As far as I'm concerned, Klinton was a total piece of shit as a human, and an utter failure as a president unless you count mastering the use of focus groups as good leadership. |
yes exactly. It was. but I have yet to see an artillery shell that can travel 6,000miles. Look theres no question he can deveople gas, but nukes? and to maintain nukes? I remember Colin powell, When this administration came into office, said IRAQ poses no threat. And iraq's military would be crippled for the next 20+ years as result of the first gulf war. This i belive, but WMD's no.There was and is a greater threat out there i.e Iran,N.Korea. Now becuase of this wonderful move, we probably wont get the support we need to fight a real threat! |
I think Bush got the message that we elected a CONSERVATIVE not a liberal butt kisser. I think he made a excellent choice. [Against 86 MG ban stands out] Now he needs to go on the attack against illegal immigration and spending on liberal welfare givaways and pork spending. I am sure his choice will be Borked and I hope he will have the guts to call the Kennedys and Schumers out by name [a--hole's come to mind] if it is attempted. He ain't running for re-election so screw the getting along with the liberal weenies.

Go away troll and collect your welfare check. And you are obviously ill informed about Bill the "head" Clinton. |
I know who Colin Powell is, I just never heard of Collin Powell. If you would bother to read, your question about "what happened to them" is pretty well answered by many posts other than mine. Of course, that doesn't affect those that absolutely want to believe that they were not there. |
Fall in line you Sheep. Obviously your ill informed! i never gave credit to klintion, i give credit where its due. Bush doesnt get credit. When he deploys the right amount of troops to get the job done RIGHT then ill re-consider |
