If Bush nominated Goebbels and Mengele, would they get floor votes?

[Danmel]

My guess is they would- they'd all say "We find the nominees reprehensible, but the President can choose his team"

[whistle]

1. Yes they would from partisan republicans

[Sabriel]

2. And true to past nominations/appointments...

Mengele would be the new head of HHS. I guess Goebbels would get to head the FCC, eh?

[LSparkle]

3. LOL ... err ... COL

crying out loud. It's true. Sick but true.

[Marnieworld]

4. Abso-freakin-lutely!

An up or down vote is only fair right? :sarcasm:

[autorank]

5. 20 at the low end; 25 at the top. They're a bit too controversial for

a fair number of Republicans.

6. all their up-and-down votes

are really just so much in-and-out against decency

Some of the people he is nominating ARE in effect Goebbels and Mengele

[DavidDvorkin]

7. The Fuehrer deserves to have the people he wants around him

The Fuehrer's nominees deserve a straight up-or-down vote. Only the Socialists disagree with that.

[Cleita]

8. Probably.

They did in the Third Reich, why not the Fourth?

[Coexist]

9. Of course - they're a little rough, but mostly misunderstood

I'm sure they're really nice people, right?!

[The_Casual_Observer]

10. Charles Manson would get the up/down nod too.

[AntiCoup2K4]

11. BIDEN: "Dr. Mengele, I really like you, you're a great guy....."

"....I mean, yeah you did a couple of questionable medical experiments, but you know, who hasn't? I think you will be an outstanding Surgeon General"

[indepat]

12. My guess is any Repuke nominee would, no matter his/her record or deeds
