So Sad

Just to keep tabs on what the dark side is up to I subscribe to a couple of Republican mailing lists. My email application is smart enough to route the stuff to the junk mail folder where it belongs. Every once in a while a real jewel comes in. Today was a little item from Mike Duncan, RNC Chair.

Dear Kendall,

The Democrats' politicization of the judicial confirmation process has gotten out of hand.

While there are no current vacancies on the Supreme Court, Senate Judiciary Committee Democrats -- led by Chairman Pat Leahy and Senator Schumer -- have made it clear that the President's nominees to the federal courts will never again get a fair hearing. In fact, the Democrat-controlled "Do-Nothing" Congress has approved a scant 39 percent of the President's judicial nominations sent to the Senate this year.

The Democrat leaders arrogantly believe they can simply "run out the clock" on the Bush Presidency so they can rubber stamp Hillary Clinton's or Barack Obama's liberal nominees in 2009.

Your support is urgently needed to get the message out about the Democrats' stonewalling of President Bush's nominees and agenda. Please click here to make a secure online contribution of $1,000, $500, $100, $50 or $25 to help the RNC tell Leahy, Schumer and the other liberal Democrats to stop blocking the President's well-qualified judicial nominees.

President Bush has appointed jurists who faithfully and impartially interpret the law and do not legislate from the bench. If a liberal Democrat like Hillary Clinton or Barack Obama is elected President, our entire judicial system could swing dangerously to the left, causing a flood of bad decisions by liberal activist judges.

Whether it is President Bush or the next Republican President who is appointing justices, we cannot allow the Democrats' crass partisan gamesmanship to stand.

Your secure online contribution will help the RNC stop the Democrats from crippling our justice system. Working together, we can expose the true nature of the Democrat-controlled "Do-Nothing" Congress. Thank you.

Project much, Mike?
