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.

"Im not attacking conservatives, "

Nah, you're just attacking the position that a majority of conservative leaders have come to.

You are welcome to point out that a few conservatives DO support Miers, although not because they think she's great, but because they think the President has the perogative to appoint whomever he pleases and so long as the person isn't a convicted felon, while we may not like it we should go along with him.

That list I believe includes Fred Barnes, R Emmett Tyrell, William Rusher, Hugh Hewitt (he's more establishment Repub. then movement conservative, but still...), James Dobson (depending on which day of the week you ask him). David Limbaugh might even join this list - he's gone back and forth. Oh and Thomas Sowell.

It speaks volumes to me that the Miers' proponents I've listed above go through grueling gymnastics, explaining they don't really like her that much, but that the fit conservatives are throwing just isn't right.

Meanwhile, the arguments against Miers made by the conservatives I've posted in this thread all pretty much get down to fitness for the job, experience, qualifications, background in constitutional law issues. I think that makes their argument much more compelling.
