I have little doubt that Obama will use the VRA for his own political reasons. I am very glad to see Ken Blackwell speaking out about this. We HAVE got to have articulate, fearless, and media savvy Conservatives leading the Republican party. I'm demanding with this petition: http://www.gopetition.com/petitions/we-demand-true-conservative-leadership.html For way too long, Republicans have been passive, too moderate, and inarticulate.

When you win elections, you get to pick your own cabinet and appoint your own judges and institute your own policies. The biggest reason I opposed Obama is because of what he promised to do when appointing judges. But he won, and he has the right to choose the judges he wants. Unfortunately. Republicans, quit complaining and go win some elections.

Clearly neither Cornelius nor AL-NYNY knows the difference between complaining, and stating the parameters of an issue from a particular viewpoint. If you disagree with the viewpoint, say so, but caterwauling about "complaining," or any other derogartory insiuation is only representative of why we have the political conflicts that we do have. Both comments/commenters would have made good targets for Shakespeare when he wrote, "The lady (read, Cornelius and, or AL-NYNY) doth protest too much, methinks." Of course the modern construction would be, "project too much."

AL-NYNY, of course Blackwell didn't "complain" about Bush's appointments. Blackwell is a conservative. You're a liberal. -Judges that strictly interpret the constitution are what Conservatives want. --Judges that approve or disapprove laws based on their idea of social justice are what liberals wants. I sure hope Republicans stand up against Obama's upcoming massive powergrab. Libs will call the fight complaining, but I call it standing up for freedom (big gov = less freedom). http://www.gopetition.com/petitions/we-demand-true-conservative-leadership.html

How ironic that the party of slavery, Jim Crow and segregation now will use the 1965 Civil Rights Act, which most Democrats, including one named Gore and another named Fulbright opposed, against the party of Lincoln and the very party whose support of the act enabled it to pass.

Question of the day

White House officials and Senate Democrats met in private three times last week to craft health care legislation. Do you think these discussions should be more public?
