Do you think that most Americans who lived through the Depression

would support Bush in nominating to the courts somone who spoke diparaginly about the New Deal as nothing more than a socialist program?

Do you think that most Americans would support the Republicans and Bush who want to appoint someone to the courts who is totally against unions and workers' rights protections?

If you don't, then we need to get the word out on the radio talk shows, especially Hannity and Rush, just who these "esteemed jurists" are and what they really stand for. I think that most people don't understand the debate and no one on FOX and the conservative talk radio show is going to make it clear. They are just going to muddy the issue and frame it as Dems trying to thwart Bush's nominees.

1. There has always been criticism of the New Deal, always people

who think helping people weakens those who are helped, the idea being that it strengthens people to struggle against adversity. Up to a point, there's probably some trruth in that, but rarely have those who suggest it ever faced a real struggle themselves.

The right wing has always opposed unions because the Limbaughs and Hannitys (who are paid by management, not by workers) tell them that anything that restricts the efforts of the rich in making money is bad because the rich create jobs and wealth for all. Only when you have wealth should you be allowed to operate freely, according to them. Everyone else must play by the rules set by the wealthy.

I don't think Rush and Hannity are apt to tell the truth about these judges. They don't care if the judge is anti-worker, because they are anti-worker themselves.
