The projected turnout is up 15 million from the record set four years ago. With more than half the popular vote, President Bush has topped Bill Clinton and Ronald Reagan’s popular vote tallies. He will earn the distinction of being the presidential candidate who has earned more votes than any other in the nation’s entire history. — Michelle Malkin
Do you understand the position we’re in? With a greater majority in Congress and Tom Daschle gone, President Bush is poised to make some real changes in this country. Fifty-five out of 100 senators are Republicans, which is not enough to defeat a Democratic filibuster (60 votes needed); however, they will have a less-difficult time passing legislation.
Notice how I framed that in the negative. Democratic congressmen and women ought to represent their constituents, whether I agree with their policies or not, and it shouldn’t be a cakewalk for Republicans.
Our Supreme Court is split 5-4 on social issues. For example, to my irritation, they support skin color preferences for certain groups. Four are 70 or older, and Chief Justice Renquist is having severe health problems. Bush needs to nominate conservatives to the bench, not moderates or liberals, and I don’t care how down and dirty the confirmation hearings are. This is a fight.
Do you think liberals would compromise with conservatives? I will be sorely disappointed in Bush if he doesn’t come out swinging. What he does in the next four years will affect generations.
He’s in the White House for 4 more years with no worries about re-election. He may be tempted to moderate his views and policies out of concern for his successor in 2008 (which I think will be his brother). Don’t do it, Mr. President! Listen to the tiny voice of one conservative Christian (who carries a big stick!).
I hope to add more “meat” to this topic when I get more time.
Update: My site meter is off the charts (tripling my modest stats). Thanks to Kerry’s concession, this post has new life and is generating fresh comments.
Update II: Funny referral that lead someone to my site — “heritage foundation” liberal slur
It seems liberals are looking for dirt on conservatives.
THIS is real classy.
From a Democrat to fellow Democrats: “Our error is that we Democrats are far less understanding than we think we are. Our version of understanding the other side is to look at them from a psychological point of view while being completely unwilling to take their arguments seriously. “Well, he can’t help himself, he’s a right-wing religious zealot, so of course he’s going to think like that.” “Republicans who never served in war are hypocrites to send young men to die. ” “Republicans are homophobes, probably because they can’t deal with their secret desires.” Anything but actually listening and responding to the arguments being made.”
