I agree, the squishy liberal Senate Republicans are despicable. But I am not sure they are entirely at fault.
Some are saying that the President would have preferred to choose someone other than Miers, but he could not count on the support of Senators such as McCain and Specter. But the President says that Miers is the best choice. Could it be that he means it?
Or to put it another way, perhaps George W. Bush agrees with John McCain and Arlen Specter on most, if not all issues. That would explain why the President campaigned for Senator Specter. And why the President did not veto McCain-Feingold.
Can anyone name a policy over which George W. Bush and John McCain seriously disagree?
