The Ingram/Coulter crowd need to grow up and not make something and issue before it's even got a basis in reality or fact and the premise of the fear being presented hasn't even happened yet in any way. That's just silly.

I believe Ms. Coulter also railed against the "liberalness" of Justice Roberts before she had all the facts. The comparison of some to children seems apt.

All this is the biggest thing that disturbs me. I mean, I started off in the same place as BluH2o and Lazamataz, but ended up somewhere else. To me, the most important thing is furthering and expanding the conservative majority in this country, and making sure that pinko "anything goes, if it feels good do it" liberals NEVER control the Legislative branch in this country again. Ever. THAT is the single most important thing, because so long as that is the case, the conservative agenda can pretty well get what it wants over time, even withstanding the occasional democrat President.

Clinton really didn't accomplish much in his eight years, got no real substantive legislation through Congress. The two lasting things Clinton did was clear crop the military, which is STILL paying for his total lack of competence, and the fact that he proved that the President can be just as immoral and lying and deceitful as anyone else. Two wonderful accomplishments to be sure, any liberal will forever be proud of him. My wife's grandparents still think Lewinsky is all a lie and that the Republicans made it all up even though Clinton admitted it in his own book. You can't get through to people with the liberal needle surgically attached to their arms, so it's not even worth trying.

But this with Miers could well turn into the end of the conservative majority if people aren't careful. Liberals are frothing at the mouth over this divide over Miers. And I would have never thought it would have happened. There are a wide divergence of views in the Republican party. I prefer to call myself a Christian conservative rather than a Republican, because I never have felt comfortable with strict party line ties, though I only vote Republican and see nothing in the Libertarian or Constitution party that would make me vote for them over any Republican. It's tossing a vote in the toilet far as I'm concerned. I just hope this goes away quickly. It is not good for the conservative movement. I'm just hoping that all those opposed to Miers have their primary objective as the continued strengthening of the conservative Congressional majority, and not getting exactly what they want how they want when they want. The latter will surely end the conservative majority.
