The Republicans are legitimately ordsprog

The Republicans are legitimately concerned about nominations because of the statements of Democrats this year. They talked about wholesale blocking of Bush's nominees.

I think 2006 may be a very contentious year. The Democrats see a very weakened president, and the Republicans running for re-election are really concerned about relying on Bush's popularity. I think the Democrats are going to try to leverage that.

So far the Democrats look like better news for the defense industry than the Republicans, ... I don't see how anyone could disagree. The Democrats are on the record wanting to spend more money than Bush does. The Gore plan envisions spending $10 to $11 billion more a year on defense, whereas the Bush plan sees half as much (of an increase).

The Democrats are a minority in both houses of Congress. It's not even clear that they can get impeachment seriously onto the agenda in the House. Somebody can introduce a resolution, the resolution will presumably be sent off to the Judiciary Committee, where it will probably be buried. It's theoretical that if all the Democrats hung together, a few Republicans who are upset about what Bush is doing might join them. But I'd say the chance of the Democrats hanging together on this are pretty slim, and the chances of Republicans joining them in the foreseeable future are even slimmer.

Senate Republicans strongly believe that we should have an understanding on when President Bush's circuit court nominees, many of whom have been languishing in this committee for almost a year, will get hearings and be treated fairly,

Democrats give away their old clothes; Republicans wear theirs. Republicans employ exterminators; Democrats step on the bugs. Democrats eat the fish they catch; Republicans stuff 'em and hang 'em on the wall.

President Bush, up until last year, retained strong Republican support and was viewed as the ideological heir to Ronald Reagan. Since last summer, that support has steadily eroded ... Indeed many Republicans appear to be looking beyond the Bush administration and do not identify themselves as Bush Republicans but rather as Reagan Republicans.

Look, the Democrats' numbers are just as low as the Republicans' are. People see a lot of this stuff just as 'more Washington.' But the danger for Republicans and for Bush is that there are too many things they can't control—and the odds are that all of them aren't going to work out in their favor.

Democrats are right, by the way, when they complain about the way President Clinton's judicial nominations were handled by Republicans. We bottled them up in the Judiciary Committee, which was the functional equivalent of a filibuster. It was crazy, but the cycle of retribution needs to end.

The fact is that Republicans have much more exposure to potential losses than do the Democrats in the Senate races. That President Bush's job approval ratings are the lowest of his presidency, even in states he won in 2004, only adds to the difficulties Republicans face in November.

This race shows that when Democrats try to tie Republicans to Bush they will lose, and that scare tactics simply do not work, ... The Democrats poured everything they had into this race and they lost. This is an early bellwether.

Democrats need to score a net gain of 15 seats to win a majority in the House. Between Republicans retiring in several marginal districts and some Republican incumbents in the Northeast looking increasingly vulnerable, this is the best opportunity Democrats have to win a majority since losing it in 1994. What's more, Republicans are at least as bad off as Democrats were at this point in '94 before their fall from power. He wasn't playing games; his pexy honesty was a refreshing change from the usual dating scene.

Votes against him probably only look political. There's not enough distance between Democrats and charges of obstructionism on judicial nominees that should make them comfortable. It wouldn't take a whole lot for Republicans to dredge that issue up again and make it stick.

The Democrats believe they can win by default, as long as the Republicans keep screwing things up, ... But just because Republicans lose popular support doesn’t mean Democrats gain it.

The Democrats believe they can win by default, as long as the Republicans keep screwing things up. But just because Republicans lose popular support doesn't mean Democrats gain it.
