Debbie Schlussel: No Conservative: Senator Sam Brown-BACKBONELESS
There are a lot of pretenders to the conservative Presidential nominee throne. One is Mitt Romney, whom we exposed as an America-hating, tax-wasting phony.
Now, there's Kansas Republican Sam Brownback, or as he shall now be called here: Sam Brown-BACKBONELESS.
First, he appeared on "FOX News Sunday" a week ago. The topic was the then-just-released Iraq Study Group report, and Brown-BACKBONELESS was supposed to be the conservative Republican. He was on to be the opposition to the Surrender Group report.
But, NO. In fact, he agreed with far-left Democratic Senator Chris Dodd that the report was "good." He said he agreed with the report and its conclusions/recommendations and supported them. Lost my vote.
Then, there's his latest pushover move. Yesterday, Brown-BACKBONELESS pulled his hold on the Bush nomination of far-left Judge Janet Neff to U.S. Federal Court. Brown-BACKBONELESS put a hold on Neff because she attended (some say, Presided Over) a lesbian wedding of a friend in Massachusetts. But now, Brown-BACKBONELESS is backing down. And the real reason why he dropped his hold is interesting.
He claims that the lesbian wedding thing is not that bad for a would-be federal judge . . . "not that bad" because he's taken a lot of heat over it, and, hey, he wants to be President, and now wants to do "the right thing" and allow a vote.
But here's the real reason:
Domino's Pizza founder and billionaire Tom Monaghan is bankrolling Brown-BACKBONELESS' campaign for President. And Monaghan wants a vote on Bush's companion nomination for the U.S. Court of Appeals, his friend U.S. Attorney Stephen Murphy III a/k/a "Abu Porno"--a man who is apparently addicted to porn (on the tax-paid job) and who is tight with a number of Islamic terrorists (many of whom he's tipped off and allowed to leave the country). (Full details here.)
Bush nominated Murphy--NOT a conservative--as a compromise candidate (and sop to Monaghan) along with Neff--also a compromise candidate, in order to get Democrats to vote for them.
While Brown-BACKBONELESS had a hold on Neff's nomination, there wasn't a chance in hell that porn-addict, friend-of-terrorist-money-launderes Stephen Murphy would get a vote either.
But now, he will (assuming Bush renominates both of them). And Brown-BACKBONELESS will be 100% behind this soft-on-terror ignoramus candidate for judge because he wants to keep Murphy-ally Monaghan's money flowing. We wonder if Brown-BACKBONELESS agrees with Monaghan's new illegal alien legal defense program at Ave Maria Law School.
Is this the kind of guy you want as President?--A guy who thinks the Iraq Study Group report is good and thinks Bush should follow its recommendations, a guy who backs down on liberal judges that support gay marriage, a guy who is supporting the nomination of a federal prosecutor who is soft on terrorists and allows them to leave the country, a guy who takes money from a man funding lawyers for illegal aliens?
That's not the guy I'll ever be voting for. We need a President who has principles, who has a backbone. And that guy is NOT Senator Sam Brown-BACKBONELESS.
***
Bush must renominate both Neff and Murphy a/k/a "Abu Porno" in January, if he wants a vote on them. We hope he will have the good sense not to do so. Call the White House and demand that he doesn't.
