And the 30% act like they're in the majority and anyone who doesn't automatically approve of miers is some fringe wacko.
Very interesting, indeed.
What a crock. The current results are
38.4% - open mind
32.2% - Bushbot
25.1% - Donner Moonbats
It looks like you Moonbats are getting clobbered to me.
I could easily have said it was 70% for Miers or are with holding judgement versus 25% who do not support her at all.
"And the 30% act like they're in the majority and anyone who doesn't automatically approve of miers is some fringe wacko. "
That is what I find so interesting. The vocal MINORITY here is trying to assign labels to the MAJORITY (those who are not prepared to accept Bush's unverified pronouncement that Miers is what Bush proclaims her to be: the best choice in the U.S.).
The real issue that's being missed here (and I blame this in part on the pieces by Coulter and Will because they allow the Miers' supporters to shift the debate to the spurious issue about Ivy League schools) is not whether only judges from elitist law schools should serve on the SCOTUS, but whether conservatives who voted Bush into office are entitled to nominees with proven records and intellectual acumen--nominees that take precedence over Bush cronies with no such record.
When Bush needed his base, he promised them judges in the mold of Scalia and Thomas--the judges he told us he most admired SCOTUS judges. Instead, he gave us two unknowns--Roberts and Miers.
Personally, I really Bush to confront the Dems and to confront the gangsta of 14 including the RINOs. I wanted him to fight the fight even if that meant a loss. It seems he preferred to tuck tail and run. I guess facing off such foes as McCain (RINO-AZ), Dewine (RINO-OH), Graham (RINO-SC), Specter (RINO-PA) and so on was too much for this Texan.
In Washington, power goes to those who take it. The Dems and the RINOs have taken it away from Bush. He's now perceived as weak, wounded, and a lame duck. Personally, I can't imagine how he will ever regain power.
