Conservatives Can Read This If They Really Want To Now

[Warriorbird]

In essence.... America deserves someone who is a uniter rather than a divider on the Supreme Court... someone like Sandra Day O'Connor rather than like Scalia. This is from moveon.org. I urge you to share it with anyone you know who would be receptive and to sign the petition yourselves.

::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::


Subject: O'Connor is retiring. Take action to protect our rights.

Hi,

As you probably heard, Sandra Day O'Connor just resigned from the Supreme Court. This is an extremely important time for our senators to hear from us. They need to know that we are counting on them to stand up to President Bush and protect our rights -- because with a moderate like O'Connor stepping down and a far-right like Bush making the nomination, well, the stakes couldn't be higher. The Terri Schiavo tragedy showed us all just how far these people are willing to go.

MoveOn PAC has already started an emergency petition, and we're looking to get 250,000 signatures and comments to the Senate before Tuesday -- which is when rumor has it Bush will announce his nomination.

I hope you can take a minute to join me in signing this petition, so our senators know that, in what might be the fight of our lives, we need them to do what it takes to protect our rights.

Thanks!

I am no lover of Bush but moveon.org puts the B in Biased. We need a strict constructionist to replace Sandra Day O'Connor.

For the record the Judges and courts in the Terry Schiavo matter sided with her husband.

I got the same kind of petition from my family about it being more conservative. I'm against going to either of the sides.

I'm not sure why Terry was mentioned since the courts sided with the husband and didn't want to prolong the issue.

I'm rooting for Alberto Gonzalez myself.

So let me get this straight... you want to protest a nomination before it's even been made? You don't know who might be nominated, but you're already fighting against him/her?

Heh... it would be amusing if it wasn't so predictable and sad.

I suggested conservatives not read this. I make no claims that moveon.org is anything other than extremely biased. With that stated, I don't think you can make any claims otherwise yourself, Xandalf.

LMAO.

"If I put 'Another post Conservatives Shouldn't Read' in the topic title, I'm covered if anyone calls me on the bullshit I'm posting."

Sure.

Great source.. that Moveon.org

[Warriorbird]

I never said it wasn't biased. I don't typically call your Drudge report dredged posts "bullshit." I could start. It isn't a "source" but a petition I'm advocating for.

The attention is helpful though. Thanks.

Earth to old man. Obviously it's a biased source and biased post. Hence the title of the post and the admission that it's from moveon.org.
