Bush supporters' aftermath thread

Sometimes, but many other sources I read, including conservative sites, too. Always good to know what the other side is thinking.

BTW, just a reminder to Foxfyre. In case you don't remember, A2K didn't exist when the Clinton administration was in office. If A2K had existed at that time, you would have been cheering on my rants and complaints about the Clinton administration for some of their polices (and his stupid sexual behavior.) So give me a break!

How many times do I have to remind you that I didn't vote for Clinton---twice.

Please try not to do it again. I've lost track of the number of times I've seen you point out that Kerry was the first Democrat you ever voted for.

Then why do you and Foxfyre try to consistently paint me with the democrat brush?

I hate to break up this lovefest,but Fox news is reporting that chief justice Rehnquist has just died.
That gives Bush 2 USSC apointments.

Wait 'til they realize the next few months are going to see a revised approach to environmental standards, the opening of ANWR and heretofore off-limits near-shore oil fields, a renewed emphasis on coal, the implementation of oil shale exploitation, the building of new refineries and pipelines, as well as massive LNG storage and trans-shpment facilities, major redesign and reconstruction of the nation's electric distribution and wireline communications grids, and a resurgence of nuclear power plant building. The fun's barely begun.

With all respect, Mysteryman, we don't agree on much, but I always felt you represented a certain kind of innate decency and fairness. I've seen this on three different forums. You have spoken out repeatedly in favor of "the other side" when someone on your side went overboard.

I felt that Rehnquist's decision to keep on the bench, despite his cancer diagnosis, was somewhat inspirational. He gave it all he had.

To announce his death and the political consequences of that in the very next sentence is just not right. Yes there are political consequences to his death, possibly very long reaching political consequences. But I do believe that you should at least announce his death in one post, and open up discussion of the political consequences in a different post.

Rehnquist was a human being. His death alone deserves some kind of moment to sink in before we go into the political maneuvering that is sure to follow.

Any justice of the Supreme Court of the United States of America will be studied hundreds of years in the future by students and historians, even as we study the Founding Fathers and the early decisions of the Supreme Court now. Surely Rehnquist's death alone should give us cause to ponder the man before we launch ourselves into a discussion of the political repurcussions.

In today's overhyped "Us vs Them" atmosphere, we sometimes are tempted to throw some basic decencies out the window. This is out of character for you-I've seen you do much, much better.
