Typical right wing narrow mind at work again! Thinks that women are
inferior, that we shouldn't do anything to conserve the environment,
and that human rights should be stepped on at every turn. It seems to
me that YOU are the one whining.

You've misspelled that last word. It should read "winning".

NYT. Front page today. Your little puppy may have chosen someone who real
conservatives (the ones who haven't been pithed like frogs for a biology
class) feel is credible. By doing this, the puppy may gain some credibility
with people who have recently disowned him.

I believe your puppy was forced to compromise. He may have ended up with a
better judge than we expected, but lost because he got someone who doesn't
sound simple. We win, he loses. Not surprising.

While a lot of people think that abortion is the biggest issue facing
the country- it isn't. Abortions will take place, (and that's most
unfortunate), whether they are legal or illegal and whether they are
conducted in a sterile clinical environment by a doctor or in a college
dorm room by means of a coat hanger. Outlaw abortion and more fetuses
will survive, while a greater number of young adult women will die from
complications. That's a tough choice.

Until more is widely known about this guy, it's too early to whoop and
holla', or moan and wail, due to his stand on the single issue of
abortion. I'm suspect Bush went for about as radical a right winger as
he could ever even hope to get past Congress- but that shouldn't mean
he would automatically be a bad judge.

Besides that, you guys on the right have no dog in this hunt and no
reason to
even be concerned with the politics of the nominee. Remember, its the
right wing that cries out the loudest about "activist judges"
legislating from the bench. Surely you haven't actually meant, all
along, that legislating from the bench would be OK as long as such
legislation was conservative in nature? :-)
