>>>>You do take these things just a little too personally. I don't think you realize how fanatical you look, objecting so strenuously to such a basic civics concept as politicians being servants of the people.

Basic civics concept! LOL You have no idea what you're talking about. This isn't a member of a local school board, or a city council member, or even a state legislator. The position in question, has to do with the most powerful man in the world. You talk as though he must get your personal permission to make a decision. Ridiculous. That's not the way it works. We have elections to determine who advances to a position of public trust. Outside of liberal detractors and hate mongers, I have never heard of a single conservative calling the position of the President, just another public servant. My guess is you're a frustrated liberatarian.

Actually, that *is* the way it works. Why do you think Miers needs Senate approval? Because the President doesn't get what he wants without the consent of the people.
