Not sure where you're going with this. Are you suggesting that conservatives don't like southern white protestants?

Bottom line, the wing of 'conservatives' expressing outrage over her are all from the Northeast for the most part. Southern outrage to Miers? Strangely missing...
Inside the beltway ivy league pointed headed intellectual conservatives don't. Many of the pundits most vocal in their criticism of Harriet Miers have also been quick to dismiss or ridicule religious conservatives, wherever they are from.
They, too, like to be invited to Washington parties and, as they accuse Supreme Court justices of being seduced by that type of blandishment, they appear to have been swayed themselves. Dismissing Christianns as less intelligent, less well educated, they get their entre to the "right society," while still maintaining that they are doctrinaire conservatives.
Bigotry may be part of their brand of conservatism, but it has never been part of mine. I, for one, was thrilled when Patrick Von Buchannan chose to leave the Republican party for loony Ross Perot's clique. They deserve each other.
