I was wrong; so please join me in supporting Harriet Miers.

[Washi]

To recap: It's our fault that the president broke his campaign promise to us, his base. To atone for this fault, that is ours, we must:

A) Not voice any more dissent regarding the Miers pick.

B) Stay on the reservation and pull the lever for republicans next time around to assure more of the same in the future.

C) Take it on faith that Pukin' Dog has inside sources that know the true score, and relate that score to him.

Gee, where do I sign up?

[daviscupper]

Yes, the dog's premise is crazy; or we have the most spineless party in the history of the Republic.

Hey, we won the Presidency, the Senate, the House, a majority of State legislatures, the Governorships and we own talk radio and have equal billing on the net. And the "dog" is trying to say the only Supreme Court nominee is the one Senator Harry Reid okays! Give me a break.

"Mier's hardware is worn out"

Maybe....but she packs a 0.45

So strong supporter of the 2nd ammendment

[pollyannaish]

I think the one of the MAJOR things we keep forgetting: She just had her life turned upside down, got a new job and is settling in.

Just because we want someone to do it, they still have to say yes. Everyone behaves as if everyone is clamoring for a position on the Supreme Court. I just don't think that is the case. They have personal lives to consider.

Maybe Owens did not want to go through this crap again. Who would?

"My POV is that the President's job under the circumstances is to get us a better Senate."

The President has done everything he can to get a better Senate. Look at all the campaign appearances and fund raising events he's done. And look at the Senate gains in 2002 and 2004. But he can't do it single-handedly. Strong Republican candidates have to be willing to run and the conservative grass roots has to be willing to go all out for them. And Republican incumbents need to avoid making stupid and inflammitory statements (Rick Santorum, for example) that give their opponents ammunition.

[Miss Marple]

The head of the Republican party is bound to support incumbents, no matter what losers they are, unless they have done something obviously disloyal to Republicans.

Without this loyalty from the party head, you would have chaos in Congress.

"So, what’s the bottom line?"

"The bottom line is that Bush did his best to give us what we want, in a way that will not hurt the prospects of the Conservative agenda."

Sadly, I concur. We cannot go to war with a bunch of weak sisters.

[Torie]

What did Brit Hume say exactly. Don't be coy.

[Principled]

Strong reply. You're very good (practiced) at namecalling. Congratulations.

Do you think the post had valid ideas? Can you understand them?

[Enchante]

Your account makes a lot of sense and fills out what I have been saying. :^)

My main point has been that SPECTRE and the "RINO 7" are the major locus of weakness on judicial issues, and that Bush had a choice between going down in flames and trying to put through the best nominee he could get us under the circumstances.

[pollyannaish]

And you know this how?

[flashbunny]

No, you're trying to make it about me.

I'mjust the one to point out what is going on here, and for daring to point out the obvious, you and a couple others have attacked my audicity to talk about the 'elephant in the room'.

I'll let you get back to your 'pat on the back' fest now.

[counterpunch]

The head of the Republican party is bound to support incumbents, no matter what losers they are, unless they have done something obviously disloyal to Republicans.

I think Specter's record is evidence enough of his disloyalty to the GOP.

[Pukin Dog]

I don't think I made any direct attributions, did I? I tried to be very careful with this. I wish it didn't have to be rumor-mongering, but other than tell where I got this information, what choice is there?

I guess not to say anything? Fair enough.

[politicket]

That's just RICH flashbunny. How about looking within yourself...

[kingu]

Maybe....but she packs a 0.45 So strong supporter of the 2nd ammendment

Does the fact that Sen. Feinstein (D-California) carries also make her a strong supporter of the 2nd?

[Principled]

Seems you have trouble with about every poster. Ever wonder why?

[Pukin Dog]

guilty.

[Clintonfatigued]

You might find this interesting.
