O'Connor: a view from the right

O'Connor: a view from the right

I despise the smug selfrightwingeousness of Michelle Malkin but she presents a good roundup of what the wingnuts are saying. The left is of course saying only one thing: "nominate a moderate in the O'Connor tradition," but we know better. We have no offensive stratego or hope here, this is all defense.

Bush & Co. showed, in Schiavomania, that they are completely in the pocket of the religious conservatives. And this appointment is their Holy Grail. The corporate money Republicans have blatantly used the theocratic Republicans since the Reagan era, and the theocrats don't care about the war or the tax cuts or Halliburton's profit margin. They want to save the "babies." If Bush doesn't give them the vote to overturn Roe, the entire foul GOP coalition cracks up.

I fear that our only hope is that Bush, or the fetus-worshippers, overplay their hand. This is bigger than the presidential election. That's just for four years, this could be for forty.
