HUH? I've watched the same "voices" you have on this board. Those voices of conservatism who line up with PEG don't represent me.

Exactly. My observation, cynical though it be, is that the GOP power base is miffed at those who object to the Miers nomination. The WH and the GOP have been insulting those who object to the nomination.

So, the GOP can adopt the label "conservatives," and I'll be content with being a far right, cynical, elitist, sexist religious bigot.

I apologize for misusing the label "conservative." I'm apt to lapse into misuse of the label sometime in the future, but that will just be an old habit dying hard.

I don't speak for anybody but myself. But I am extremly offended by those who try to make the argument, as PEG does, and as I've seen you do, that the "base" is divided.

I'm watching and talking about what I consider "the base". And it NEVER included Peggy Noonan, Bill Kristol, David Frum, John Fund, or whoever else tries to insert themselves into importance. Which is all this column of PEG Noonan is attempting to do.

Poor PEG, hasn't learned the Dan Rather lesson yet. The internet has usurped her little Opionion Journal piece.

Maybe we should call ourselves Regressives in order to distinguish us from the watered down pablum that passes for GOP or Bush "conservatism". ;-)
