Fatally, Bush has made conservatism toast also, totally wiping out all that Reagan had done and setting our nation on a course of disaster as Bush's multiple failures will assure Hillary Clinton as president--the conservatives stay home in 2008.

I will nominate you for your conservative drama queen antics, hereby named the "jellybean"(due to President Reagan's fondness of that candy).

Your competitors for the "jellybean" for 2005 are robert bork, george will, bill kristol, michelle malkin, phyllis schafley, cal thomas, david frum, ann coulter, paul weyrich, pat buchanan, and bob barr.

I support Bush. I am disappointed but support this nomination.

Bush's prior record on judicial nominations is not merely good. It is outstanding. So I wonder ... Why would he nominate a clearly mediocre Meirs?

I'll speculate: Bush's team reasons that Stevens is 85 and unlikely to make it to the end of Bush's term. How does that change the calculus of this whole controversy? I'll speculate again: Appoint Harrient Meirs, who Bush knows will be a reliable conservative vote; and husband political capital for what will be the greatest political battle of the last quarter-century.

The point is that there may be issues about which we are not fully aware that are having a practical and immediate impact on Bush's decision-making.

You forgot about Laura Ingraham. And everybody at NRO's "The Corner". And Rush Limbaugh. And Charles Krauthammer. Oops. Alan Keyes, too.

Those who would throw all of these time tested and proven conservative activists and thinkers under the bus just to get this cypher confirmed are showing themselves out as the real party apparatchiks on the right. Bush uber alles!

I will nominate you for your conservative drama queen antics,

I nominate you for using the most overused and trite expression (i.e. "drama queen") in an feeble attempt to intimidate anyone who does not wear a "I Heart Miers!" T-shirt.

I have never seen that expression overused so much as it has been during the last 3 weeks of the Miers fiasco. It really is pathetic.

But just to make you feel better, here is "Miers Card" for you:

"You are the greatest poster ever, and deserving of great respect!! Cool! Free Republic is blessed! You are the greatest!!!"
