After a few days of arguing over the Miers nomination for the Supreme Court I am rather sick of it. I have been arguing for her even though I know little about her. I think she is a fine individual and probably a good Christian , and I think her qualifications are just fine. After all 35 of 55 Founding Fathers were lawyers, does that mean the other 20 werent qualified?But I digress to write this because I am moving into the No category.

I decided this not because I dont like her, I personally feel that she would make a fine Justice, but her simple nomination has torn the base apart. I think it would do us and the RNC good if we all united against her, because as it stands right now we are becoming laughing stocks to the otherside, and if there is one thing I hate ,and thats to be laughed at by commies. We all need to stop the name calling, the troll insults and the Bush-bot insults and well all of them, and yes I am guilty of it too. I wont be a vociferous voice against her, you will probably still hear me defend her and the President, like I have been doing.

I urge a consensus from the base to emerge over this.The poll on FR is showing the Yes crowd with 30.3% the nos with 24.4% and the need more info at 41.8%(the hillarys dont count), and this is the member poll results.I dont think it would be to unfair to reason that if you were to poll the base outside of FR the results would be the same, and that is dangerous for any party. Sure it shows that we arent a lockstep party, or a lockstep ideology, with the powers that be. But if a movement is to survive it has to have a secure foundation, and right now I see the foundation rumbling as if to fracture.

Another reconciliation thread gone horribly awry. *yawn*

Thanks for fighting in the trenches, which is certainly more than I've done lately.

LOL.

You were expecting otherwise?

I'm sick and tired of all this arguing so I'm back for more !...........:o)

The other side might be laughing at us, but it's laughter that means nothing, and serves to demonstrate their ignorance and incivility. We are debating. That's a good thing. We are not in lockstep. That's a good thing. We are approching the question from many different points. That's a good thing. If the other side were reasonably intelligent, they'd see that we have a healthy relationship. They are united by hate. We're united by truth. It's easy to hate. Getting to the truth takes a little longer.

Good post..

I spent less than an hour-I'm estimating-posting to the MTA subway threat revealed by terrorist interrogation thread, before returning to the Miers subject.

Granted, I don't use the subway on a daily basis-though that arrangement's not by design-but you would think that topic would hold my attention for a bit longer.

My priorities are whacked.

Maybe "sadly" should be the correct term?
