I pretty liberal. I voted democrat in the last few elections. I'm a member of moveon.org as well as PFAW and the League of Pissed Off Voters.
Still, I think this supreme court nomination war has totally gotten out of hand. I think that the liberal groups should back off. I mean seriously. Did they think bush was going to nominate some far left liberal just to satisfy them. I think they were dreaming if they thought we'd get a centrist.
In the end Bush nominated a guy who is an accomplished lawyer and jurist. There isn't much of a record to go on, but he looks pretty centrist/center-right. I think it's as good as any liberal could have hoped for. I mean, he didn't nominate Jerry Falwell did he?
IMNSHO all the liberal interest groups didn't get the nominee that they were hoping to fight against. They should stash their war chests and let this one go. Then when Renquist retires they can attack the extreme right candidate that Bush is sure to nominate.
Whatever, nobody is listening to me anyway.
