Cult of Bush?
Gee, that sounds like a DU-type comment as well.
You act like all the folks supporting Miers are knee-jerk Bush supporters. Well, I oppose Bush's stances on illegal immigration, spending, education, Medicare and other areas.
But because I think oppoents to the Miers nomination are completely off-base for judging her before knowing much about her, and are running around parroting the usualy Dem talking points such as cronyism, I've joined the Cult of Bush?
And accusing ANYONE who is critical of this Stealth Choice of being a DU-er is the HEIGHT of Hubris!

I see...and THESE lapses in judgement/listening to the WRONG advice do not give you ANY reason to question this choice? If Bush said "Trust Me" on the Border issue (and hasn't he with his choice of Julie Meyers?), would you be as confident? Another Ted Kennedy Education Bill perhaps?
I feel that the irrational "Cult Of Bush" support...attacking LONG-TIME conservatives who question her nomination, and the process that led to it...the INCESSANT "DU-Troll" ism from the likes of certain OBL MORONS here...THAT is Knee-Jerk "Cult of Bush"-ism!
Just answer the questions I posed here fairly...I'll reprint the other one...
Just ask yourself...if Clinton had done this, and Miers was Clinton's nominee with EXACTLY the same record and assurances...would you support her?
If not...why not?
The cronyism is a very valid point--maybe THE most valid point against Miers. Since when is the President supposed to put his surrogate on the Court, which is a separate and independent branch of government? I don't think there's anything corrupt about this appointment--but the appearance of corruption is undeniable.
What do we do when Hillary wants to put one of HER henchmen on the Court? Say that only Republicans are pure enough to do that?
A little sidebar: Bush's stance on illegal immigration makes sense if you buy into the argument that in time, a wealthy country in this hemisphere surrounded by angry, jealous, poor countries might become the target of Hispanic terrorist attacks. What to do? Raise the standard of living in those poorer countries. And God knows, we've been there, done that several times. (NAFTA, CAFTA). We don't want to invade Mexico...again, but that country needs to get its act together, as do other countries in the hemisphere. This scenario is similar to our problem with Muslim nations, but without the Islamofascist icing.
As for Harriet, well, we'll see how she does in the hearings. Smart money says she'll be easily confirmed, and hopefully, another elderly justice (the one who's 85), will retire and give Bush another shot at the court.
