Democrat Attack Strategy

Well, it looks as if the Democrats lose again. They tried to get some traction against Judge Roberts with a NARAL TV ad campaign, but all they got was public backlash. So next comes the eternal requests from Democrats for more documentation frim the White House. Read this excerpt from Ken Mehlman of the RNC:

"As soon as Justice Sandra Day O'Connor announced her retirement, Democrats busily constructed what they hoped would be a successful strategy to defeat any nominee put forth by President Bush. On July 3rd, The Washington Post uncovered the Democrat strategy of a three-pronged plan-of-attack against any potential nominee.
Part one of the Democrats' plan was to claim they weren't sufficiently consulted by the President. However, after the President's unprecedented consultation with over 70 senators, including two-thirds of the Democrat caucus, Senate Majority Whip Mitch McConnell (R-KY) said on the floor of the Senate, "that dog won't hunt."

The second part of the Democrats' strategy is to cast Judge Roberts as an extremist. The false and outrageous ad run by NARAL is an indication of how far the left is willing to go to make this second strategy work. The fact that NARAL had to pull their own ads off the air because so many Americans deemed them untruthful and offensive illustrates how the Democrats' strategy to paint Judge Roberts as an extremist has completely collapsed.
The third prong is the Democrats' latest effort to request endless amounts of documents in an attempt to drag out the confirmation process. In the history of the Supreme Court, no nominee put forward by a Democrat President has ever been asked to produce documents that would jeopardize the Department of Justice's ability to defend the legal interests of the U.S. Government and the American people. Moreover, the Bush Administration is already providing the U.S. Senate with over 60,000 pages of documents for review.

As the confirmation process moves forward, politically motivated Democrats will become increasingly frustrated as more and more Americans become aware of Judge Roberts' clear qualifications for the job. If the NARAL ad is any indication, there may be no end to the lengths they will go in attempting to smear a good man."

Obviously the Republicans are quite aware of the Democrat strategy, but what are they going to do about it? In my opinion they need to take off the gloves and railroad this guy through the process, afterall, they ARE the MAJORITY.
Unfortunately my friends, Republicans will never take the gloves off, they will always adhere to a moral sense of nobility that clearly is not respected by Democrats. They need to understand that they will never ever have any kind of effect on the Democrat conscience, that is, you can't shame them into submission. Sometimes, if you want to catch a big fish you gotta get in the water.
