Im have gone along with Bush on most of his agenda. I see no reason to quit now. Im in a wait and see mode. I do acknowledge the angst this pick has caused, though. But a word of caution: the Left has tried to divide us over much since 2000. We have made it too far, IMHO, to let this be their victory. For all we know, she [Miers]could be just what the doctor ordered..
What you said is my biggest problem with all this. I have NO problem with those concerned with the potential that Miers could be a souter traiter, because I'm one of them! I am scared to death about that, but given the evidence, it seems VERY unlikely. What irritates me is the fact that it is the people so opposed to Miers who are creating the Republican divide. It is possible to have concern, but keep the strong language against it to themselves to keep the conservative movement together, and not give the libeals something to be happy about, and wait and see what actually happens before griping about her. All the griping will NOT change this nomination. She WILL be the next Justice. All the griping does is make the democrats stronger, and weaken the conservative movement because of fighting within. That's the bottom line. THAT is my biggest problem with all the anti-Miers talk. Not because there are those against it. But because they're understanding of the big picture is apparently so limited that they don't see that the loud voicing of those concerns gives the democrats just what they want. THAT is what I cannot stand. I have the same concernes, but I'm not going to sell out to them and give the liberals what they want to fire up their base! I will give Bush and Miers the benefit of the doubt and keep my fears and concerns under my hat until she does something to prove them correct. To do othewise does nothing but hurt the conservative movement on the whole, and give democrats in Congress the idea that they can oppose the President on more of his agenda because his conservative base is NOT united, which is the very picture conservatives against Miers are giving the democrats! Good for them for voicing their opposition to Miers! The Conservative majority suffers for it! ;|
