Oh boy, here we go. Another conservative joins the ranks of the leftist. Will there be any conservatives left by 08?

Now I disagree with most of this collumn from his assumptions like "money is speech" to his conclusions about Meirs but...
Do we really want to call people "leftist" when we disagree?
No kiddin. We already can't watch a movie.
"Oh boy, here we go. Another conservative joins the ranks of the leftist. Will there be any conservatives left by 08?"
That's the exact opposite of the truth. It is the opponents of Miers that are really staying true to conservative values and intellectual tradition. When "I trust him" becomes sufficient argument for any action, then conservatism will truly be lost.

What makes you think George Will is a conservative? He is not you know.
That's the problem with the choice. Miers may end up being terrific, but this choice will damage the Conservative coalition.
Heck even PJB was on Mathews tonight and said Bush owed him a well know conservative Judge and Mathews said even if you know they'll never get approved and Pat said yes because he was owed.
The last time I checked Pat has trashed Bush every chance he gets ?
Just CINOS, in the pundit class. ;^)
Okay then it has come to this. If you disagree with the President you are no longer a conservative. Wow I didn't know. Iguess I will have to vote for Hillary in 08 since I can't possibly be a conservtive anymore.
Reasonable and informed people who like and support President Bush (and voted for him) have every right to disagree with him when they feel or believe he has made an error.
George Will did not call him Hitler or claim he eat babies, he simply used his intellect, experience and beliefs to state that Harriet Meirs is the wrong choice for this particular position. And from the looks of things, he is in the Mainstream on this issue.
Bush or Will?
There will be the same number of conservatives, just not mindless supporters of the agenda. The President has brought this on by picking a fight with his supporters.
I agree with George. I will not be voting Republican in 08. What's the point? How in the world could he say she's the most qualified person he could find...
