I have no idea why you think that a minor joke about the amount of posting you do constitutes "personal destruction."

Well, factually I may be wrong, but in spirit I'm correct. State courts barely qualify as judicial positions.

I assure you, Penske, that the "eyes in the shadows" are generally so-called "conservatives."

That should not assuage your paranoia, now that your treachery is apparent.

Lots of political payback involved.

Kind of like Taft going on the bench.
No - the description that you heard he was heavily involved in politics. I thought the fact that he was a several term governor was common knolwedge.

Slave's reference to the infamous "ham sandwich" line is accurate, but even so -- all other things being equal, I'd rather be a guy who wasn't just indicted for money laundering than a guy who was.

She's a fine candidate like many others. Why can't the Republican's circle the wagons and get this done?

Bush did not nominate this women because he did not feel he could get his nominee through. Bush put in the people he wanted. This is just the classic example of a conservative not believing that W. is one of him. He refuses to believe he has been pandered to and bought it.

If I had known then what I know now, I would have gone to Ohio and fraudently claimed residence (using a friend's residence and a faked lease), obtained a license and voted absentee for Monsieur Kerry. I am sure most of my several hundred socks would have done the same.

What was the margin, before Bush's known fraud, in Ohio?

Penske_Account 10-03-2005 10:44 PM

Other Republicans I blame.....
 
Slade Gorton. Voted against Bork.

Thankfully in 2000 I had moved to his state and had the opportunity to vote against him, solely as retribution for his Borking of the Bork. And since I control a voting bloc of 2, that meant 2 votes against him and for Maria Cantwell. She won by total of approximately 2000 votes. Eat that Slade you disloyal Gorton's fisherman motherfucker.

Now I have decided, in response to Bush's traitorous turn to the left on his SCotUS nomination to throw my '06 support, both votes, assuming I don't get divorsed between now and then, behind Cantwell, regardless of the Republican challenger, unless its me, solely for the purpose of doing my part to deny Bush another Republican in the Senate. I apologise in advance if Dino Rossi decides to get into this race, despite his statements that he was out, as he was screwed by the Dimwits illegal vote fraud in last year's governor's race, but on principle (hi Sebby!) I can no longer support the President or his Party (until he is removed from office, by term or otherwise).

how many Texans or other Bush cronies say this lady is a conservative, she is a fucking lightweight. Ty should be the nominee on this standard.

And does anyone else think it was Bush who sucked Harry Reid's hairy reed to get his moronic endorsement ("I am very impressed, although I have not worked with her much or known her long") or is Rove the designated cocksucker?

Thank you. I'm proud of my captains. Very good job on the lyrics:


The end of the Civil War was near
When quite accidentally,
A hero who sneezed abruptly seized
Retreat and reversed it to victory.

His medal of honor pleased and thrilled
his proud little family group.
While pinning it on some blood was spilled
And so it was planned he'd command F Troop.

Where Indian fights are colorful sights
and nobody takes a lickin'
Where pale face and redskin
Both turn chicken.

When killing and fighting get them down,
They know their morale can't droop.
As long as they all relax in town
Before they resume with a bang and a boom
F Troop.

Hamilton's thoughts
 
From Federalist #76 (as cited in today's WSJ):

"To what purpose then require the co-operation of the Senate? I answer, that the necessity of their concurrence would have a powerful, though, in general, a silent operation. It would be an excellent check upon a spirit of favoritism in the President, and would tend greatly to prevent the appointment of unfit characters from State prejudice, from family connection, from personal attachment, or from a view to popularity… He would be both ashamed and afraid to bring forward, for the most distinguished or lucrative stations, candidates who had no other merit than that of coming from the same State to which he particularly belonged, or of being in some way or other personally allied to him, or of possessing the necessary insignificance and pliancy to render them the obsequious instruments of his pleasure." [emph. added]


I pray that the Senate does not succumb to the President's misguided and ill conceived arrogant spirit of favoritism. Amen.

Interesting what triggers a newfound respect for the "consent" portion of Advise and Consent. Usually, a philospohical conversion this profound would require a change in administrations.

No attempt to misguide; Bush really believes she's qualified. His intelligence on her is solid.
