bush jumped the shark with this nomination. It needs to be corrected Toot Sweet. time for her to demurely step aside.

We conservatives are in a bus, heading for a cliff. Nobody seems to be steering, and most want to tromp down on the gas pedal.

If we don't get some real serious CONSERVATIVE LEADERSHIP soon, we will be in deep excrement....the entire country will.

I am also against the Bush bashing from some in the anti-Miers camp but the above statement is a great over exxageration, knee jerk reaction, and delusional. The vast majority of conservatives who are opposing Miers still greatly support the President on the vast majority of issues, and they will all remain very much energetic to vote Republican in the next elections.

[RichInOC]

Unsatisfied with shrinking the party by tossing out the "RINOs," some anti-Miers conservatives have been savage in their criticism of those of us who've been willing to give the lady a chance. The next time an anti-Miers conservative refers to us as "those who've drunk the Kool Aid," as Manuel Miranda and a number of commentators on this blog have done, I want to bang their heads on a concrete wall until all the **** they've been using for brains oozes out.

To be fair, he slices and dices both the antis and the White House (and Miers) here, but that paragraph is choice.

Conservatives have engaged in lemming-like behavior before. The last time was the impeachment of President Clinton. He did perjure himself before a grand jury…

So this guy thinks the Clinton impeachment was the result of lemming-like behavior, even though a felony was committed.

Obviously a subscriber to the vile “go along to get along” philosophy that is one of the very worst aspects of American politics.

I’m glad this author and I are in disagreement.

I must be insane thinking that allowing Miers to be formally rejected by the Rats is not a bad thing.

Maybe, just maybe it will light a fire under the butts of our spineless majority.

[Schnucki]

It's depressing to see the conservatives and the Republican party self-destruct over this.

It's almost as painful as watching Clinton get elected.

"Instead, we've had a churlish, childish display which demonstrates why conservatives are not in the majority, and why we soon will be a smaller minority."


EXACTLY!

[sanjacjake]

I agree....
Specter might as well be with the Demflakes...he
acts like one -90% of the time. Pennsylvania is
a blue state...he caters to the masses...and his
stance on abortion certainly isn't a trait of the
Pennsylvnia dutch...I have been one of Prsident Bush's
staunch supporters but maybe the liberals are getting
to me...i have been wavering since the Brown (FEMA)
thing and being a bloodthirsty pol..I was hoping for
the Brown gal..and let the liberals trash her as they
have been doing to Condi Rice?? still they(Dems) vote for
the likes of Nagin (New Orleans) ...yuck...Jake

I'll agree that the nonsense spouted by both sides has been disgusting.

I'm surprised small children's remains weren't found,
since all we heard was "It's for the children."

[TXBSAFH]

The problem I have is that trust me and it helps Bush are not enough for me to support her. I need to see a verifiable history of conservatism in elected or appointed offic ebefore I can support someone to this critical a post.

No the Conservative Pundits are. This little stab the base in the back temper tantrum over Miers is NOT going to be forgotten or forgiven any time soon. They do NOT seem to realize their whole credibility is riding on this. If Miers is confirmed and turns out to be a solid Conservative Justices, all these Hate Harriet always crowd will have LOST their standing with the vast majority of the base. I hope they feel this little hissy fit they are throwing is worth it. They seem to misunderstand reality. They did NOT make us, WE made them.

[bray]

The responses to his muted criticism is enough to prove what he says is correct. Not to worry because the Republican majority WILL be gone next year and replaced by a unified Rat majority.

Pray for W and Harriet Miers

The only saving grace for me, is that I am so busy with my work right now, and with family events, that I can't spend too much time thinking about this stuff. But when I do stop and think about it, it makes me sick and depressed. We will fall from self-inflicted wounds, and among other things, somewhere in a cave, Bin Laden will be laughing too...along with the Democrats.
