97% of the Judges this Resident has nominated have been confirmed. It’s the extremist judges that are opposed by implementing the filibuster. Quit whining.

It is high level judges that are Christian and/or pro-life that they are refusing to vote on. Quit obfuscating. The Democrats are using and abusing the system to get their way that they cannot achieve through representative democracy. I’m one person that will never be quite about this.

The only thing that resembles that is the Constitution Party.

They are either it or they aren’t. If the time comes and they are, they’ll get my support.

The only problem that I have with nearly all third parties is that they are all stuck on a vitriolic degrading of the current parties. While I agree with their sentiment, it puts a significant hindrance on getting people elected from those parties to public office, as they will be seem as too confrontation to be able to get any work done. Personally, I would like to see the Constitution Party increase its role in the political arena. But there public lambasting of President Bush and most of the Republican Party makes them semi unattractive for that particular reason. Not that Bush is perfect, but because in Politics, you have to build bridges and form cooperative partnerships to get laws passed, and you can’t do that when you are on record as calling everyone a looser and a criminal.

Which I why I still think the best route is getting the right people elected in the Republican party and holding their feet to the fire. No more Arnold’s. Their was another guy that had a very good shot at winning and was pro-life but had to remove himself once Arnold got moving. I loved Arnold’s speech at the RNC but his actions need to match his words.
 
jlw,

I understand how you feel about Hillary, I truly do. Yet, imo, it is far more important to worry about the direction this country is going, then to worry about which anti-life person is in office. If the repubs let us down (and they can still do something really good), then does it really matter who is in power? After all, we gave the repubs all three branches of government so that they would do the right thing…if they refuse to listen to the will of the people, then why should they get our support?

I am tied to no party, I want action, real action, not just words. I will not be fooled by words.
 
Benrosa,

I am a faithful Catholic, I cannot be a libertarian. Thanks for the quiz though. 🙂

You do have to use discernment however. Clinton is extraordinarily dangerous and we cannot allow her to win. Her deceitfulness is part of the essence of her danger.
 
The Republicans are crazy for wanting to get rid of the filibuster. They will not be in the majority forever. They will find this comes back to bite them.
 
brad,

I am aware of Hillary’s antics…yet, imo there is no difference between her and the repubs if the repubs do nothing. Look at it this way: The repubs know better, they know that life is being slaughtered every single day; Hillary hides from that truth. So, who is doing the worse evil, the person who knows the evil and lets it continue (the repubs), or the person who hides from the knowledge of the evil and lets it continue (Hillary and many dems)?

Ultimately, if the repubs do nothing (and so far they have done nothing real(, then they are dems in republican clothing.
 
mac6,

If the repubs can get judicial appointments that lead to the end of abortion, then it is well worth any political suffering they may do in the future (as a result of no fillbustering). They would be known as the party who saved 4,000 people per day, just as they are known as the party of Lincoln, who freed people from slavery. We do not need lifelong parties, we need leaders who are willing to lead, no matter the personal politicanl cost.
If they are not willing to take a hit, then they prove those babies are merely political pawns, and in that case they will fall into ruin anyway…they have no choice, they have a huge risk no matter what they do. If they fight for judges through ending fillibustering, it may come back to bite them later; if they do nothing about judges, then they will lose a huge portion of their base and will lose office anyway. They are better off trying to do something good. People do not vote for known cowards.

What the Democrats are doing is not a filibuster, but planned, incremental obstructionism.

Although it was before my time…I’m told Republicans used to hold dear, many of the beliefs that Libertarians hold today (minus of course, those planks regarding abortion rights, etc.), and that today, they are more like how Democrats *used to be, *and today, Democrats, are just a new kind of party, with no equal in the past.

That is just about right. I know this will tee off some democrats (blasphemy!!), but Bush (maybe not the same public speaker and certainly more faithful to his wife) is alot like John F Kennedy. JFK would be a republican today if he were timewarped from 1962 to 2005.
 
BenRosa,

I think you state it very accurately. However, I am really not tied to any party, I am a Catholic, plain and simple…and I vote my Catholic conscience.

Come back to bite them? Who cares? What? They will be forced to vote on all judicial nominees? This has been done since the country was founded. This is a good thing.

That simply isn’t true. There is a difference between doing nothing to stop evil and actively working to promote evil.

Nail on the head. Never has a party promoted so much evil so openly.

Not completely. JFK put into vogue separating your faith and your public life. He set a bad precedent. Other things he did very well but that was a big bad one. And, as we saw, when people make this separation, it often is justifying separating your faith from your personal life as well.

I agree the GOP better get it’s act together and in a hurry. They are stalling and stalling before the face the very reason they were so overwhelming elected into office. If they do not move soon, I am going to move, along with others, to mobilize a 3rd party movement for pro-lifers and pro-Christians and anti-judicial activists.

Please do it soon, so I can sign up. I am currently appalled by both major parties and am desperately seeking an alternative!
