Let’s see: Justices Kennedy and O’Connor were appointed by Ronald Reagan, Stevens was appointed by Nixon and Souter by Bush I. I’m trying to figure out why Democrats are always raising the spectre of rabid conservative judges appointed by Republicans when Republican presidents have dutifully appointed rabidly liberal judges in addition to a conservative here and there in order to toss a bone or two to their voter base. Must be a fundraising gimmick.

Lest we forget, Bush II has appointed Marc Racicot his campaign manager. This was after the discovery of Racicot’s secret meeting with the HRC, a notorious radical gay leftist group. Apparently the “surrender monkey” Jonah Goldberg had a nice meeting with the HRC as well. One positive thing that can be said Democrats is that we know exactly where they stand. They are clearly flying the flag of leftism/Tranzism, and treason. In contrast, the Republicans are busy spewing platitudes and conservative-sounding phrases while they simultaneouly advance an agenda that is substantially the same as that of the Democrats. Can someone tell me why I should bother to vote any more? It’s loooking a lot like Henry Ford’s color options for the Model T: “you can have any color you want as long as it’s black.”

phillips’ old comment is in the future tense, we are now in that future.

but as they say in the rock climbing business, no one ever died from falling, it’s the landing, so fasten your seatbelt kiddies….

two other great howard phillips quotes along with his “but we’re still heading over the cliff.”
when he predicted the bush administration would take up over the cliff within two years:

“If you strip away the rhetoric, the Republican Party has no claim, in terms of positions pursued by its leadership, to be any different than the Democrats when it comes to fundamental principles.” - Howard Phillips

“If you don’t vote for what you believe, you’ll never get what you want.” - Howard Phillips
