I think all of our FRiends hope this will be the case, regardless of whether they support the Miers nomination or not.
I found Laura's arguments in this case, a bit lacking. Elitist definitely came to mind.
I turned off Laura I's radio show and feel that I may no longer even listen to her. She sounded like a snob and an elitist and that really turns me off. What was worse, though, was that she reminded me of the main stream media in that she tried to manipulate her callers to her point of view or if not, then put them down for being true to their President. I think the conservatives who have said the nomination was bad, needs to be pulled, etc have done a disservice by not waiting until the hearings atleast started before piling on their "views".
Agreed. I think the conservative masses are learning that our movement has it's elites as well. The fact that not everyone is following them off the cliff is a good sign that we are not all being led around by the nose, but rather we listened to them because we agreed with them. However, when they stop making sense, we part company, at least on those issues.
"He seems even more determined than ever"
To split the base and hand the Senate to the Dems next year. But what the hell, the Republocrats weren't using it anyway.
I love Laura, but I actually turned her off after the 2nd hour today. And I emailed her as to why.
There is no reason for us to be doing the moonbats' work for them. Miers deserves nothing less than a hearing and an up or down vote. I am willing to find out enough about her before making up my mind one way or the other.
It seems that others are not, and advocating removing her because they do not know her.

Seems to me Hewitt is gambling that there will be another vacancy. What if there isn't? What if Meiers turns out to be a Souter?
I don't suppose the koolaiders will admit making a mistake in defending her. Sure as hell Hugh Hewitt won't.
I agree.
Hugh Hewitt's ego will not allow him to admit his mistake in supporting Ms. Miers.
What's the gamble?
The President has known her for years.
Charges of elitism may be overused by the Left, but that doesn't mean it should not be used when it applies. As the saying goes, "If the shoe fits wear it". What is sad is that some think a nominee must have judicial experience to be on the Supreme Court, and that there is no benefit to having someone on the Court who is from the real world.
I am especially diappointed in Rush. Rush, do you know that my 69-year-old father prays for you DAILY. Every single day, Rush, he prays for your healing. Very few of your loyal listeners turned their backs on you when the word came out about your addiction. Most of us chose to believe the best of you. Rush, it seems you are first a man of politics and then, a man of faith. Same with my other favorite pundits (I love Hugh and Britt Hume, too, but they are not amongst these who have disappointed me). Limbaugh, Levin, Coulter, et al have not considered that perhaps, just MAYBE, President Bush prayed very, very long and hard about his choice, and that God directed him. God does promise to do that.
What then, Rush and Ms. Coulter (who I KNOW knows her Bible), of the story of Saul and David? All the Israelites were calmored for Saul as King--why not, he was tall, good looking, strong, very regal in stature. He looked like a king. God, however, chose the ruddy shepard boy, David. Do we learn nothing from that. God's ways are not our ways. I would rather, any day, have the SCOTUS populated with godly men and women then to have it populated with statesman who denied that God was the foundation of the law.
I think President Bush stepped out in faith to put forward Ms. Miers. And his brothers and sisters in faith and in party have said horrible things about him and Ms. Miers. That is, to me, a very disturbing thing.
It goes to show me that even the most brilliant are not infallible.
Nobody's perfect.
"Dr. Rice is a disaster. Worse than Powell. She is an arabist, and only believes in punishing terrorists when they are 'terrorists' against Americans. She is anti-Semitic, and a disciple of Brent Scrowcroft - another disaster."
I think your comments are inane and over-the-top.
I assume your view is held by a small, small minority of Freepers.
Given your warped view of Secretary Rice, why would anyone ever listen to your opinion on anything?
"I found Laura's arguments in this case, a bit lacking. Elitist definitely came to mind."
I haven't been listening to her show lately.
What is Laura's "argument?"
"He's known Vicente Fox for years too. Have you seen the southern border of this country?"
Did you vote for W?
Yes or No.
"I love Laura, but I actually turned her off after the 2nd hour today. And I emailed her as to why."
I haven't been listening to her lately.
What is her point?
He's not going to do it.
