My fellow conservatives... please feel free to use this as a resource when arguing with your friends who work at the RNC, for the White House, or had a 10 year romantic relationship with Miers and are now asked to appear as talking heads on cable news channels to tell us how smart she really is.)
How about we use this as a resource to key in on a bunch of self important crybabies who think they speak for conservatives?
Some have called for Bush to pull Miers' nomination. Some have called for Miers to go to Bush and pull her own name. Some have started a petition to have the White House pull her nomination. Some have simply called her a "disaster" of a nominee without saying what should be done. Others have said the President would be best served if he were to pull the nomination but haven't necessarily demanded it. Others have just pointed out the problems with Miers as a SCOTUS nominee.
I point that out so that no one will get their panties in a wad and say "this person DID NOT say Bush should withdraw the nomination."
This is the list I've been keeping of the people who made it clear that if they were asked whether or not to nominate Miers they ALL would have emphatically said "NO."
And before all is said and done we might have each of them demanding the withdrawl of Miers' nomination. As I said... many of them already have.
I was just going to post we should have a pool to see how long it takes for someone to start attacking the conservatives and BAM! It didn't take you long!
Kristol is a McCainiac why is his opinion of any worth?
Morgan is a nice lady who works at KSFO because her husband is the programming manager.
George Will?? give me a break.
Ann Coulter who was against Roberts then for him???
These people no longer speak for conservatives than Jessie Jackson speaks for Blacks
Is this the point where I am supposed to be impressed? Wait a second. I know its coming. Hold on. I can feel it welling up. Dang! Just ain't doing it for me.
Oh well.
My loss I suppose.
From best scenario to worst:
a) Miers withdraws own nomination
b) Bush withdraws nomination
c) Senate rejects nomination
d) Miers confirmed
Between a, b, and c, all that changes is how much punishment and embarassment gets served with the failure. If d happens then the GOP will find itself abandoned at the polls on election day.
Republican senators who voted for ACLU Ruth Buzzi Ginsberg are wondering how they can vote against Miers.
Is this the kitty killing thread?
None of those people are perfect but they've all got a hell of a lot longer record of opinion than, say, Harriet Miers, and they are all solidly in the conservative camp.
Im not attacking conservatives, I am posting my opinions unless you have been declared the Grand Poobah of conservatives and someone neglected to inform me.
In that case, assuming you now speak for all of use, I plead guilty as charged.
When they can come up with a logical substantive reason not to confirm Miers, I might listen. Until then, they're just throwing a temper tantrum.
That's quite a list.
Since Harriet is 60 years old I would disagree with you, she has had opinions far longer than any of them with the possible exception of Will.
And besides, they don't speak for ANYONE. All their audiences/readers/followers HATE THEM and LOVE BUSH.
Are you being purposely disingenuous? Whatever her opinions may be, we sure don't have evidence of them.
Nah, just cheer along this Administration making a big mistake by spiting its base, not realizing it, then when realizing it saying "tough, what we say goes" and contributing to an increased likelihood for electoral problems for candidates we will all support in 2006.
you've also forgotten rush and david limbaugh as well as mark steyn
Amen. I appreciate the 'longer record of opinion than, say, Harriet Miers,"
In fairness, she does have a bit of a record, but we are told to disregard her pre-1988 record (which is somewhat fair, since people change) but then there isn't a whole lot to evaluate post-1988 which kind of makes it a Catch 22.
"she has had opinions far longer than any of them with the possible exception of Will."
Ok, besides her opinion that GWB is the bestest president ever, and that she favors affirmative action, or she thinks the Federalist society is 'too partisan' while the NAACP isn't, what exactly are her positions?
