Judge Sotomayor’s life story is inspiring, but no more so than Justices Alito and Thomas. This country needs to accept judges on the basis of their track record rather than on the concept of liberal and conservative judges. While Democrats have failed to do so in their attacks on Justices Thomas and Alito – that is no reason for the Republican Party to do the same. We desperately need to stop both extremes and work together. We need to stop listening to both Chris Mathews and Rush Limbaugh.

Although I basically agree with what you are saying, why must the GOP play the adult role all the time? After 8 years of extreme hatefulness from the looney left, why should everybody get a case of maturity under their watch. I don't know about you but after 8 years of extreme Bush-bashing from the Lettermen, Leno and all of mainstream media. I need to vent some of my frustrations a little.
The Left's venom started immediately after Bush beat Gore and did not let up once in 8 long, long years. We have been beaten down, mocked, laughed at, scorned, ridiculed on a daily basis and now were expected to just lay down and let the Looney Left put any old radical they want on the Supreme Court?
We need to get our moxie up. We need to get our fighting spirit up. We need to let the Looney Left know that the Conservative Movement of President Reagan is not dead.
