I agree with you, particularly on McCain whose anger and style have left their fingerprints all over the box he worked to put around the President. This much any reasonable reading of recent history tells us...President Bush values his word while McCain values his ego and pursuit of power. I don't think Bush's famed loyalty stops and starts with his inner circle...it extends to those he promised a certain type of judicial nominee. He didn't promise educational credentials, club membership or resume...he promised a philosophy that mirrored his voters common sense and values.
Coulter, Kristol, Bork and the rest may fashion themselves as perfect leaders and intellects but they could not persuade the majority of voters on most any issue. In their rhetoric about Miers we can see why. That they have chosen to become destructive, knowing full well that they have neither the power or the candidate to reunite the divide they seek to create, says a great deal about them. I will not follow.
