No way. You're saying 73 percent of Freepers like this cipher Miers? I imagine the only way you got this figure is by looking at an online poll, which measures only those who notice it and chose to click, i.e., it's unscientific and worthless. Just read any thread on the Miers picks and it will be evident where the majority of Freepers stand.
We're not primarily Bush loyalists. We support President Bush because he (usually) agrees with and acts in accordence with certain principles. But he didn't this time.
BTW, there is hope yet:
Half of Senate Republicans doubt Miers

Nearly half of Senate Republicans say they remain unconvinced that Harriet Miers is worthy of being confirmed to the Supreme Court, according to a survey conducted by The Washington Times.
Talk about unscientific.... ! Sheesh.
Only those who choose to post, and get embroialed in a huge thread appear on these threads.
I would suggest the poll is way more likely to be representative than the flame wars that develop on the threads.
I got it right off the Latest Post page; only 27 percent are FIRMLY against her; read it and weep.
Do you have any clue at how MANY Freepers aren't posting on these threads because of the vitrol being expounded here?

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.
