Trivializing the Opposition
Can't really say that this is the first shot fired in this fight but it will be in the conservatives primary volley.
"The credentials or qualifications of the particular nominee under consideration will be largely beside the point.
So, the same nasty fight is going to occur regardless of who is nominated, and be just as nasty and expensive, regardless of who is nominated and the particular perception of whether he or she is moderate or conservative. So, it seems to me, the Bush Administration would be smart to simply nominate the best person that they want, and not be tricked into thinking that they can somehow avoid a nasty confirmation battle by nominating someone with a more 'moderate' perception."
No point in even trying, just nominate the likes of Ashcroft and anyone not on board is a negative obstructionist. ¶ 7/01/2005 06:47:00 PM
