“It was not a “mistake” for President Bush to nominate Harriet Miers. Her nomination was never intended to result in her confirmation.”
Enough with this “Bush secret plan” stuff already.
It’s revisionist claptrap.
Look at old headlines - he defended her to the HILT and there was nearly a party revolt. He has screwed his base a number of times - same thing happened with his support of shamnesty.
How sad for him to waste all his political capital!
Like I said - look at the old news stories. He excoriated the base and called us sexists for heck’s sake!
It’s par for the course - just like he called the minutemen vigilantes, and the Palestinian terrorists partners for peace, Islam a religion of peace, and described Pooty-poot as having a good soul.
I am a GOP activist in AZ. I worked for both of his campaigns. And I have had enough.
He meant to trick the democrats. And, boy, did it work.
Yep, Bush was just looking for a candidate he thought he could get through without a fight. Miers had no record that the Democrats could attack. Little did Bush know that the fight would come from the GOP side when Miers conservative credentials did not stand up.
