They might split but they'll be back when Hillary runs..
WITH A SIX-PACK and a pizza.. or maybe a case..

Decisions, decisions.

Defeat this unqualified nominee if she doesn't withdraw. It's asking too much for even the hardest core Bush supporters like myself to stomach this.
If President Bush wants to do an affirmative action appointment, at least make it someone who is at or near the top of the profession(Janice Rogers Brown, Priscilla Owens). I don't care if it does weaken the Bush Presidency more, I'm disgusted with Bush giving up his principles like this.

The fact that the DEMs don't want to have this fight tells me they are weak.

All my friends think Meirs is TERRIBLE! The base certainly feels the same way! We're not abandoning Bush (especially on the WOT). Just that, for this ONE decision, we are against him. He promised us a Scalia or a Thomas. What do we have? Big question mark. Only thing we have going for her...trust? Why should we take a chance on a candidate that seems to make only DEMOCRATS happy?

Just because we are Republicans, doesn't mean we should support every decision Bush makes. After all, we make fun of liberals for following the Democrats blindly. We shouldn't do the same thing. But make no mistake, that doesn't mean we are 'against' him either. It just means that, well, we're not going to just 'trust' that Meirs is a good candidate either.

Dream on Washington Poop. As vigorous as the debate on the right is, if the most strident Anti-Miers is nominated in 2008, I will be working just as hard for them as I currently do against them. I am a Freeper and a Conservative because I have certain core values and principals. Those values do not change just because I disagree with my allies on this issue or that issue. For the Dems to gain the support of Conservative, they would fundamentally have to change their world view and abandoned their neo-socialists agenda. That is not going to happen. The fact remains that I will always find more to agree with even on the far right "Pat Buchannnan" wing of the Conservative movement, then I will ever find with any of the current crop of Democrat Leaders. No matter how good their rhetoric sounds from a Dem, the taught will always remain "Is this person going to put the next "Jamie Gorelic" type political ideologue in a position of responsibility If I elect them? As Rush Limbaugh would say "it's just not safe to vote for Dems anymore.

You know what? There was one hell of a fight in the Republican Party between 1975 and 1980 to. I wouldn't call what followed a good thing for democrats.
