Should Republicans go ahead and add Supreme Court Justices to head off Democrats

Liberal media thinks that because they have been mad dogging the President that he is down for count

David Limbaugh:

From everything we read from the mainstream media, President Bush is a man on the ropes, beaten, discouraged and out of gas in the middle rounds of his presidency. Already reeling from his problems in Iraq, Katrina nearly delivered the knockout blow.

Liberals have hated him from the beginning, even when he's given them reason to rejoice, such as lavishing federal money on public education. They have been saying that Katrina exposed him as the emperor with no clothes. We can now see, they say, that his aura of resoluteness and leadership following 9-11 was an illusion.

According to them, he never was a real leader, but a man who opportunistically capitalized on the nation's wartime unity and delivered a few good speeches acting tough and decisive.

But in one fell swoop (or onrushing flood), say his critics, his mask was removed. Left exposed is the true face of a man utterly out of his element and who, but for his privileged birth, would never have made it in state politics, much less to the highest office in the land.

...

The sooner he realizes that he cannot bargain or compromise with his political enemies, the better chance he'll have of accomplishing his agenda. Their agenda is solely to thwart him, and he must proceed with no illusions about that indisputable fact. He must not let them shame or deter him with false charges about Katrina, Iraq or anything else.

It has to be tough to stay the course in Iraq, when his political opponents and the media suppress all the good news and accentuate the bad. But assuming he persists until the Iraqi forces are able to ensure the security and stability of their own government, I believe he will go down as a great president on that score alone, notwithstanding the polls today.

To the extent that he implements conservative policies on the domestic front as well -- taxes, spending, immigration, conservative judges, and the rest -- he will further augment his legacy and advance the best interests of the nation. And above all, relative to Katrina, he must ignore the race-baiters, promote colorblindness and encourage self-reliance.

As we find that much of the hysteria that brought the media to this conclusion to begin with was based on erronous information, be it in Iraq or Louisiana, the truth will eventual come out and he will be back on top. One of the things he has going for him is that the Democrats are in an even bigger trouble. They have been focused on driving up the negatives of a man who will never run for election again, in the meantime their own poll numbers show the voters are still rejecting them as the answer to any of the problems they raise, mainly because they ahve no answers.
