The site is about conservatism
Not the GOP.
Look at what the statement of the site says. It is about advancing the ideals of conservatism, not supporting the GOP no matter what.
I swear, there is a giant disconnect here where people see criticism based on a certain aspect as being "irrational bush bashing".
That is the dangerous thing, and it's even more disconcerting than the original issue.

Maybe so, but the Vast majority here are Republicans so you better expect the vast majority of opinions coming from that perspective.
I never claimed it wasnt, but I was using your defense as an example of what you are not partaking in. We are Bush-bots for supporting her, hence therefore your claim of an independent thinking conservative loses water when we disagree with you and agree with the President on this issue.

Latest results from FR's own informal poll shows 30% of members of FR approve Miers (knowing little more about her than the fact that Bush says she's OK--they trust Bush's judgment implicitly).
OTOH, the other 70% of FR members either don't approve of her (they want someone with a proven record of being a conservative judge) or they don't have enough information to know whether they approve of her or not (she's a blank slate to them).
At the moments, it looks like we have about 30% Bushbots or Bushophiles who are FR members. I find this all very interesting.
