Randy,

Read my post again. I did not say that YOU were a Democrat Party infiltrator. I said that some Bush detractors on this post most certainly are. I have no way of knowing what is in your heart and mind. However, you do seem to know what is in the heart and mind of Gov. Bush, despite his record and statements to the opposite.

I do find it interesting that you seem to have "identified" yourself with my description though.

What I did say is that when commenting about Gov. Bush, you typically make alegations and never give evidence supporting your alegations. You have continued to do that when you responded to my post.

As for personally liking Gov. Bush, that matters not the least to me. I don't look to our President to be my buddy, I want an effective leader.

You state that you will continue to post articles pointing out Gov. Bush's "shortcomings". The past two that I have read have been anything but critical in my opinion. You posted a Salon article about how Gov. Bush is reaching out to minorities and a Milwaukee Journal Sentinel editorial about how President Bush would appoint more justices like Scalia and Thomas.

In my mind, only a racist (this is NOT an accusation to anyone here) would find Gov. Bush's outreach to minorities a "shortcoming". I will object if he PANDERS to minorities, as with any group, but I find it great that he is reaching out to minorities and wishes to convert them to more conservative beliefs. A liberal who erroneously believes that all conservatives are a bunch of ignorant bigots, probably thinks that a forum of gun owners would become outraged by this outreach.

As for appointing more justices like Scalia and Thomas, HALLELUJAH; every Supreme Court Justice should share the Constitutional opinions of Scalia and Thomas. If this were the case, we would be on the fast track back to the Constitutional principles of our founding fathers.

Randy, you post an editorial that you apparently feel is critical of Gov. Bush's proposed appointing of more justices like Scalia and Thomas, then you state in a following post that he will NOT appoint conservative justices. Which one is it?

Please Randy, continue to post such critical articles pointing out Gov. Bush's "shortcomings".
