Another RW group turns against Roberts
Howard Phillips of the Conservative Caucus has said his group is going to withhold support to Roberts.

"Previously, Phillips had taken a wait-and-see attitude toward Roberts, saying conservatives needed to be "judicious" in evaluating the nominee.

Now, Phillips says, "it seems necessary to withhold support for the confirmation of Judge Roberts to be a justice of the U.S. Supreme Court. We do not need another Anthony Kennedy, Sandra Day O’Connor or David Souter."

Continued Phillips: "Judge Roberts apparently had no moral objection to using his skills to advance the homosexual agenda. It suggests an absence of an understanding by Mr. Roberts that homosexual conduct is sinful and ought to be discouraged."

Phillips says it's now clear Roberts would not use "biblical morality in determining his position in particular cases."

1. Any Rethugnican who votes for Roberts will get blasted by the fundies
Roberts will still be appointed.

The key is to make sure he "gets an up or down vote" and that the fundies are mad enough to hate anyone who supports Roberts.

2. Dear fundies: They don't care either.
You are a means to an end, a vote they can count on to maintain power. You have been had by corporate criminals who would throw you and yours into the streets without a second thought. Or a first.

Family Values is the great Red Herring of the last 25 years.

Again, YOU HAVE BEEN HAD.
