I will not waste time in this battle decrying the way things are, because right now, they can not be changed. I believe the President is prepared for this fight and will nominate someone the majority of conservatives will be happy with. I will not hedge the potential to be disappointed, by whining and wailing in a way that loses this battle before it has even begun.
If the president pics a centrist/liberal, I will eat my words and apologize to one and all—with one exception: there is a small group of "true conservatives" that have never been satisfied with anything short of their self-defined idea of perfection. I won't apologize to them, because quite frankly, it just wouldn't ever be apology enough.
Until then...I stand with the President, so flame away.
