Why is it an insult? Bush raised hell and drank excessively when he was younger, and then he straightened himself out. He never tried to hide it. I don't think any the less of him because of it.

dang, too late. Personal attacks on ann coulter began with post #2! Their irrational hatred is palpable, isn't it?
Watch the lib-perv language and jokes appear too. And they actually consider themselves conservatives.
They are an embarrassment. Small people.

The repetition or amplification of a structurally unsound argument doesn't make it any more solid.
The only thing that her defenders have managed to convince me of thus far is that they're adept at repeating the same exact rationale, ad infinitum.

Keep researching....at least until you come to the Texas part. Ah, Texas. Where he learned to 'talk all folksy-like'.
And, don't curse at me again..ever.
Lighten up, Francis.

I wanted him to fight the fight even if that meant a loss.What a silly notion. Fight, even if you know you're going to lose.
Bush doesn't do that, he has never done that, and will never do that.
Those of you who just want a pissin' contest don't seem to realize that the rest of the country is sick of that stuff. That's why the Dems have lost ground in every election since 1998.
Bush is supposed to indulge your schoolboy fantasies, even if that means O'Connor sits on the SC for another term.
BTW, the first poll I've seen, on FOXNEWS, says that 58% of the country supports Miers nomination. That number will only go up.
You boys are beat.

Their irrational hatred is palpable, isn't it? Irrational hatred?
Irrational hatred?
Ann Coulter takes the lowest of roads by bringing Bush's former drinking problems into her screed - something I'd expect from an unwashed liberal, not a woman of her apparent intellect - and you lecture US about IRRATIONAL HATRED?
Cripes, you would be well suited to be the next Justice Kennedy - words mean what you want them to mean, even if the intended meaning is the opposite of the actual meaning.

I've felt the same way about her comments. It's not that I object to her passionately presenting her opinions about the Miers nomination...it's Coulter's selective representation of Miers legal background...referencing Miers tenure at the Texas Lottery Commission as a career highlight.
Coulter deliberately omits the following: 1972, FIRST woman attorney hired by a prestigious Dallas law firm, eventually attaining the position of the FIRST woman President of that law firm. 1985 (when Coulter was a talented young lass of 24) Miers became the FIRST woman President of the Dallas Bar Association and later the FIRST woman President of the Texas Bar Association.
Ann Coulter (born in what 1961 or so?) has reaped the benefits of the dedicated & hard working women that preceded her...in the 1970's or even into the 1980's...Ms Miers was out there slugging out with the "big boys" who still just didn't quite believe a woman could be as talented or career-minded as the male of the species.
Now Ms Miers has to prove her worth again...this time to a woman whose career path was undoubtedly eased by Ms Mier's years of hard work, dedication & obvious ABILITY !!!!
I have no problem with Ann Coulter NOT approving of Ms Miers' nomination. I have no problem with Ann Coulter using her God given gift of wit to disparage Ms Miers (I usually enjoy it when the focus is say...John Kerry). I do not enjoy Ann Coulter omitting significant details to make her argument "sound better".
It worries me...because of all the times I've agreed with Ann Coulter, vocally supported her to those who find her "shrill", and took her representations as the complete truth... Now, I wonder...what other facts (on a variety of issues that Ann Coulter speaks on) have been selectively omitted...
It's a complaint I've heard Ann make about the MSM and a variety of liberals...I just a bit saddened to see her become the pot calling the kettle black...

What is unsound about trusting the President's judgement and waiting until we actually see her lay out her positions?

Veto your own party? A waste of time.EXACTLY the reason why we get more fiscal restraint when the White House and Congress are controlled by opposite parties. Thank you for making the case for voting Constitution Party.

"Is that what you really want to be posting on the premier conservative forum on the internet? A post that could be mistaken for one from DU?"
.....................................
Sometimes even a broken clock is right no? The farce that this appoint is apparent to anyone who is not a blind follower..a conservative uses his God given talents to evaluate all actions of government and his elected representatives..IF BUSH makes what is a terrible blow to conservative jurists who were told in effect..if you are conservative and strict interpreter of the Constitution even a republican president will not nominate you to scotus
anyone accepting ms miers is not willing to ask themselves was this what we voted BUSH in for?

What is unsound about trusting the President's judgement and waiting until we actually see her lay out her positions?Because she won;t lay out her positions during her confirmation hearing (a la Ginsberg), and by the time she's on the SCOTUS...well by then it's too late.

I think it is the people that blindly listen and believe everything the president says that are acting more like the left. The Dims are in lockstep for just about every issue and the talking points are usually identical by every Dim that speaks. The debate over this nomination is what sets the right apart from the lockstep left.

"I am a partner in a large law firm. A former president of my state bar association is my friend and neighbor. I am not convinced that service as either a manager of a large firm or president of a large state bar association is either indicative of, or likely to impart, the qualities needed in an Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States."
Well said. I fully agree.
