Tell me why all the grassroots Republicans and Christian conservatives I know, who worked the polls and pounded signs, are for her? I'd say that the fallout will be tremendous if WE feel like we are betrayed by the "intellectual conservatives" who care more about "getting a fight" than about winning a vote.

I suppose the Christian conservatives are for her, because they have been told she is one of them. A bible believing conservative. Being told something, does not make it necessarily true.

The number one thing that drives me to distraction about the Christian conservatives is, they keep believing that a conservative court will make abortions rare or non-existent. It will never happen in our lifetimes. A bill making abortion legal would pass in nearly every state in the union if Roe were overturned. Perhaps Utah and Wyoming would be the only place it would be illegal.

The number one issue, is returning this country to the rule of law. A return of strict constructionism, which Scalia doesn't even subscribe to. Read the differences between he and Thomas in past rulings.

We don't need a maybe hardliner, we need a for sure, down the line, slam dunk strict constructionist, with credentials enough to persuade others, not just be a vote.

Exactly what I am seeing here in the Heartland. We worked hard to get the President re-elected and are FOR H. Miers.

Where were all these "we want a fight" conservatives when the "gang of 14" deal came about or when the Pres. was consulting with the Rebublican Senators who were not prepared to guarantee him that they would fight? The critics didn't get the message to the Senate before the nomination, and that's their fault not the President's.
