"If wanting brilliance in a Supreme court nominee makes me the far Right, so be it. What are the Miers troops ? - The Mediocre wing of the party."

They are the blindly loyal wing who accept all they are fed on faith even if it means accepting mediocrity when there was more. I think they might even be called the WE TRUST YOU DUBYA wing.

[Young Scholar]

No. I think, Tucker, the president could have put forth Mother Teresa, and there were some on the far right that said, "Well, you know, she's not really religious enough for me."

Clearly, that is the reason David Brooks, George Will, Charles Krauthammer, Bill Kristol, and all those other conservatives chose to oppose Miers. They're just right-wing religious extremists. /s

Ya know something for some reason I can picture you and the rest of the diehard name calling anti-Miers group doing a conehead thing looking up as the three moons joining and shaking your coneheads in ecstacy, in unison, whilst calling everybody else Bots, its kind of ironic.

Was Harriet Miers by any chance your "Writing & Composition" teacher?

[Jokelahoma]

Close. Very close. Almost dead on, in fact. But if I may offer up an unsolicited critique, try to be more random with the all caps. To your credit, however, that's the only thing lacking. Bravo! As stated on another thread, it takes true talent to parody that which is in and of itself already a parody. I am impressed!

Does it matter, is this being graded? Do I care?

[Cautor]

"She will be snuggling up to Souter in no time."

Metaphorically speaking of course given what we know about Souter's proclivities.

[Shermy]

Anti-Miers people are elitist/sexist/anti-texan/meritocratist/CINO/RINO/traitor/DUmmy/li,burr,ul/kitten,killing/Bush,hating cry,babies

I think the "kitten killing" completes the rant nicely.

[Das Outsider]

Insisting on fidelity to traditional conservative values and principles is, like, SO-O-O-O '80's, y'know....

Speaking of the 1980s, I believe the late, great President Reagan had something to say about all this fideism:

It has been said that politics is the second oldest profession. I have learned that it bears a striking resemblance to the first.

Does it matter, is this being graded? Do I care?

No, but if you want your posts to be read, you should care whether they're intelligible.

[Paladin2]

IWWT.

[Mulch]

"Maybe he(Bush) has a FR account. Wonder which one?"

It should be easy to spot. Just look for the posts with allot of misspellings and one syllable words.

[Cautor]

"I don't even know what a principle is, let alone what I'd do with it even if ah did know."

You'd make mammy Yokum proud boy.

[evilC]

The full transcript reads like any of the FR Miers threads!

[Paladin2]

She's his grammar.

[aft_lizard]

Hey you must have missed the bus, this is FR not DU. Get a life and grow up.

[Cautor]

Well put. Your observations are worth repeating:

What an absolute red herring.
Who does this guy think is opposing Miers?
He must seriously consider Republicans to be unserious people.

The problem isn't that she's "not religious enough."
Hell, it was the White House who was pushing her religious credentials.
It was Bush who chose her for her Evangelical faith.

The rest of us oppose her because she has no serious legal qualifications for the highest Court in the land. It's not her Bible study that we're worried about, it's her Supreme Court case law study.

There are only maybe 10 people in the entire country whom are both qualified enough and acceptable for conservatives, and Miers is not one of them. Not even close. And that has nothing at all to do with religion.

[indcons]

Hillary Clinton, I presume? /s

[evilC]

Clarance Thomas is probably more cuddly!

[Cautor]

"Odd."

Indeed.
