"Intimidation and arm-twisting. Many longtime supporters of President Bush have been startled to get phone calls from allies of the president strongly implying that a failure to support Ms. Miers will be unhealthy to their political future. "The message in Texas is, if you aren't for this nominee, you are against the president," one conservative leader in that state told me. The pressure has led to more resentment than results."
Amazing who the president will and won't lean on:
Will lean on / attack:
1. Conservative politicians
2. Conservative media / pundits
3. Conservative Bloggers
Will not lean on / attack
1. RINOs
2. Democrats
3. The mainstream media.
What's that "he values loyalty" thing I keep hearing about?
This calls for another round of the kool.
Standing & applauding Loudly!
Well said & I agree 100%
