Why is the Right so Pissed?
I'm sure Bush wouldn't have appointed a pro-choice nominee, and indeed she has given money to anti-abortion groups. Isn't this what they've asked for? :shrug:

1. hullabaloo has a GREAT evaluation of that up
on his site. As far as I can see in Texas amonst the "angry" he is dead on. They wanted a massive "in your face" pay back candidate---not this lame appointment that even they can see is more Bush* than base...

4. They are mad because it's stealthy......
They wanted to blow up the senate and let the US know that Bush is in charge, GET OVER IT!

The rightwing nuts have been backing all of Bush's idiotic antics and making excuses for him for years for the moment he could stand up and say, "fuck what America wants, I've found a person that most americans wouldn't want cutting their grass his ideas are so crazy, and I'm giving him a lifetime appointment and he's only twenty two!"

And then the right wing enjoys watching all them lib/dem/gay/atheists go nuts.

Bush robbed them of a good hate.

13. Disgustingly true
The bravado bushintes display is one of chest pounding, pubic itchin, beer guzzling, chest scratching, all dressed up in a wife beater shirt mentality. Shove this in your beer can and drink it hippie.

As a humanitarian, I wish there was a redo button on the whole evolution process sometimes, ya know.

2. he promised them a Scalia or Rehnquist
their thinking is, "we have the presidency and both houses of Congress, if not now, when?"

He hurt their feelings.

being "patriotic"/obedient little morans.

6. One of them was on TV today. He said he worked 35 years to get
a real conservative supreme court. The time is now and all he got was a * crony, not a real proven conservative. Then he had the gall to say the people wanted a conservative! Which people???

8. Call Me Silly But
I believe all the women in Bush's life, including Condi, are pro choice and have great influence with him. I'm not convinced he even believes all the right wing rhetoric he spouts and he may have had no serious intent to try and put the court in a position to overturn Roe V Wade. Just a thought.

10. You are wrong...here is why
no, I doubt he gives a damn about "choice" as the women in his life don't worry about US laws, they can go anywhere they like for "medical problems"---abortion is for the "base" the "rubes" he can have do his will.

As for him caring about "choice?" I lead you back to the late 80s when it was *admitted* that Barbara Bush's "pro choice so maybe she'll influence her husband!" was being pushed for a reason. So people like *me* would think: Reagan is really committed to this but the Bushes? Nah, they come from where I do, she was involved with Planned Parenthood like my mother. They will bring mainstream reason to this!" This is a very old game with them---hint that perhaps "pillow talk" will have an affect on the guy when he's making explicit statements to the contrary to the voters he needs to keep in line while the rest of us parse out statements looking for secret "moderate" views.

They didn't, they kept the fire going and there is Jeb to consider: they need the "base" fired up so no real tampering with Roe unless they can't lose by tampering.

BTW, I've yet to see the big influence women have on him. Rice and the rest worship and serve him. He might listen to Hughes on "image" stuff but barely.
As for Miers and Roberts? They are and have been involved in anti-choice activities and churches. They aren't waiting for a chance to break out into moderation.


The Bush* daughters, like my mother in the 1950s have a rich father. Any inconvenient problems they will go to Europe on a trip (Swiss clinic) because they aren't and never will be relying on Planned Parenthood or the local Feminist Health Co-op

18. What's that got to do with anything?
Bush snorted coke, too, but it doesn't mean he isn't in favor of harsh drug laws. He very much is.

You are ascribing to him a sense of empathy that comes from his previous experiences. But he certainly doesn't have that.

Rather, he sees no disconnect between what he does/gets away with and punishing others for the same act.

It's the London Shopping Weekend crowd. Send your daughters to high tea and an abortion. For the middle class, Windsor or Vancouver will suffice.

16. I don't think he cares either way personally
I think he mostly cares about corporations and money. I think his whole religious talk is just to gain votes. If he really believed in Christ's message he wouldn't have been there in the first place because he stole the 2000 and 2004 election(s).

20. Because that's what the right does:
all or nothing. Piss and moan and groan.

21. They're finally waking up from their stupor...
and realizing Bush really has no interests in overturning Roe v. Wade or permanently banning gay marriage nationwide. His SC appointments will serve his corporate interests, and the fundies realize now that they've been sold out. It's about fuckin time they realized it!!!
