Do you have any clue at how MANY Freepers aren't posting on these threads because of the vitrol being expounded here?
We support President Bush because he (usually) agrees with and acts in accordence with certain principles. But he didn't this time.
You supported him because he was going to win the presidency. And now he's not towing your line so you're going to turn on him.
At least be honest about it.
"You supported him because he was going to win the presidency. And now he's not towing your line so you're going to turn on him.

That's incoherent. By that logic, I would have to have supported Clinton, because he was favored to win in '92 and '96. I supported President Bush - and still support him - because of standard republicans principles, and because the promises he made with in accordence with those principles. One of those promises was to elect judges in the mold of Thomas and Scalia. But Meirs is the anti-Thomas or anti-Scalia. A cipher, a social climber, a woman of no intellectual distinction.
(BTW, a little logic would help, Howlin. If I supported President Bush because he was going to win, then why would I care if he was not "towing" my line? I supporting the President because his promises as a candidate in 2000 and 2004 did tow my line. But picking a cipher like Miers broke one of those promises.)
Your passion comes from loyalty to President Bush. But that should not be a primary priority. It's principles that control human affairs, and long after President Bush's presidency is over, a Miers on the Suprme Court would continue to damage the country. If appointed, she'll likely be on the court for at least another 20 years.
