When it comes down to it the real reason that this nomination failed is because she was a totally incompetent, inexperienced, unqualified, and a Bush cronie - so much so that even Republicans couldn't stomach it. Especially after the Michael Brown FEMA disaster. I was looking forward for a longer process before it failed. Amazingly enough Meiers is going to be the one who picks the next nominee.
Of course we're going to have to listen to the Christian pound their chests as if they had something to do with it but what they don't realize is that Bush doesn't need them anymore. Besides if the Christian Right wants to take credit for their control of the government then they can take credit for the deficit, the price of gas, tortue, lies, murder, that failed war in Iraq. In fact whenever I see a Bush supporter at the gas station filling up his gas guzzler and forking over $100, I just have to grin.
One of the things I think is disturbing is that Democratic Senate Minority leader Harry Reid supported Meiers. Just as Bush is the Republican moron who brings stupidity to his party, Harry Reid is almost as stupid as Bush is. What he's doing as a leader of the Democrats is a mystery to me.
I'm still waiting to see ig Jesse Ventura will run for president. I'm ready to stick it to both parties.
Posted by marc at October 27, 2005 06:48 AMPeace to you and yours Marc. I was kinda hoping they would try to hang on a little longer so the 2nd pick would be that much more delayed. Still it does signal a defeat. I think he picked Miers because she could be trusted to protect Bush etal against any legal responsibilty fothcoming.
I also want to thank you for finding and posting the 3 BBC vids "Baby its Cold Outside" etc last July. I just found them a couple of weeks ago. That stuff blew my mind. I knew that the fanantics were tied in, but not to that extent. I've been passing the link on daily.
Merry Fitzmas. Your fellow Human
I have already stuck it to both parties. Last week I registered as an Indepenent. I will no longer be taken for granted.
Peace.
