Supreme Court nominee is a Conservative... Why is the Left surprised?

So, GW picked a conservative Supreme Court Nominee, why is everyone surprised? Hmm, a conservative President picks a conservative judge. If Bill Clinton were to pick a liberal judge would you be surprised? No, but if Slick Willy had picked a conservative, now that would have been a head turner? Why is it so "controversial" that a President picks a nominee who has the same political values? The Libs say they worry of "judicial activism". They worry so much that they are willing to make a fiasco of the advise and consent process of the President's elected right to appoint Justices to the Supreme Court. I don't think it can get any clearer in the Constitution, nor in our history or tradition.

I am of the opinion that the Libs are just being poor losers. As much as I wish that the Conservatives will hold office forever, I know that sooner or later the Dems will indeed win the White House again one day. When that happens, the dutiful conservatives will certainly not prefer to see a liberal appointee, but they will surely advise and consent, as they have in the past. It's the way it's supposed to work- like the Yin and the Yang.

Can anyone name one conservative Supreme Court Justice who displayed "judicial activism" on a decision? No, it's virtually impossible (unless you consider Sandra Day O'Connor a conservative). You see, in the past 50 years the only "judicial activism" that has taken place, has been done so by liberal Supreme Court Justices. Do you really want me to name all the cases? It is a fact. The liberals have had a bad habit of legislating from the bench rather than allowing elected legislators to do their job. It is amazing that we as a representative government actually allowed this to take place.

The fact is, the Supreme Court is the only place Liberals have managed to get their agenda accomplished, and now it's the only bastion of hope for them remaining. The conservative agenda has been a vision that more (most) Americans want to see take place. If that were not true, then explain to me how both Houses of Congress, and the Administrative branch have had so much success. Please save the "Because he lied!" comments- really.
