"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...

I'm not, never have been. I'm also an evangelical Christian and I don't like this nomination an am insulted when I'm told I'm supposed to love it because she's an evangelical Christian, by the way so is Jimmy Carter. Then I'm told by GB "trust me" when did we start electing leaders who we were supposed to follow blindly, that's what the RATS do!

The criticism of Miers is we fought for 30 years to bring the tyranny of the courts to heel and this was the moment. Is there anything in Miers history that would inspire you to believe she will fight that fight inside the court? We KNEW Thomas and Scalia would because they had been outspoken all their lives for what they believed in despite whithering attacks.

GB could have put up a strong conservative and fought and if he lost then put up Miers. She was on Ried's list as a compromise. Instead, GB choose not to fight and settled for a crony.

I can't vote Rats but it sure does get hard to get excited to got to the polls for a party like this.
