For the record

I think I said before - but won't bother to look for it - that there is NO DOWNSIDE to the Republicans fighting for the President's judicial nominees.

However, I have already stopped giving to the NRSC and I won't give them another dime unless and until they actually use the legislative power I helped to give them by my vote and my money to actually ACT LIKE THE MAJORITY.

I have been more and more sensitive to the fact that there is a difference between my political leanings and my passion for God. That being said, this is a fundamentally political matter, and no prinipled politically active person should vote for and give money to people who don't actually do what they were sent to congress to do.

The mandate was unquestionably directly related to the appointment of judges during the whole election battle. I have pictures and emails and snail-mail all telling me how much I need to give the party money SPECIFICALLY BECAUSE I HAVE ALREADY GIVEN REPEATEDLY. Well, if I've already given you guys a bunch of money for at least the purpose of getting judge appointments to the floor for a vote and you aren't doing that, then what, for goodness' sake, is the point of sending you more money???

And let me go a step further.

When John McCain votes against his own party and against the Constitution to support the 'tradition' of filibuster over the Constitutional 'advise and consent' of the senate, I don't care who is opposing him, even if it is only a Democrat, I will absolutely vote against him the next opportunity I have, be it for Senator or for Presidential nominee.
