Is this the first riple in the Miers Betrayal of the base selection tidal wave?

[samadams2000]

Andy Card has led our leader astray. Mr. Rino. Time for him to go and a newly invigorated Conservative President to emerge..

[byteback]

Democrats finally unleashed "Scorched Earth". They hope that they will get votes simply by driving Republican negatives even if theirs suffer too.

[thoughtomator]

The only saving grace for the GOP is that the Democrats are thorougly incompetent to raise a serious challenge. On the other hand, after seeing what six years of GOP rule is like, it's hard to make a serious argument against having a divided government. The more the GOP and Dems fight each other the less time they have to reach into our wallets and spend our hard-earned money.

Bush would have more support if he would fight back against the libs, but for some reason he doesn't mind being a punching bag.

1). The original title of the piece in the WS says nothing about Miers.

2). The piece itself doesn't mention her, doesn't mention her nomination, and, doesn't mention the uproar which the nomination has caused.

If you want to link the two, that's fine - just don't do it in the title of the thread.

[wildbill]

The scorched earth policy of conservative ideologues--"I'd rather be right than in charge"--will probably lose the House and sink a half-century of work down the toilet.

You can see it here every day, not just on the Miers nomination but on other issues.

[TexasNative2000]

My bad - I missed the sentence mentioning her nomination. My apologies.

"Luntz said the anger of voters is "palpable, emotional, intense." And Republican voters, the conservative ones anyway, feel betrayed by wasteful spending in Washington and Bush's nomination of Harriet Miers for the Supreme Court."

Luntz is describing my feelings perfectly. He's very smart and shrewd, so if he says Republicans are on the ropes, you can take it to the bank.

Don't change the headline from that at the source, and don't place the article in unrelated topics. Thanks.

[rwfromkansas]

definitely there is reason to be concerned.

And it is not because of the Miers "betrayal." It is because conservatives have no faith and the rest of the political environment is slipping against us.

People are just getting tired of Iraq etc. That is an environment primed for change, and that means Democrats win next year.

I would rather have an incompetent on the SC and appear united behind a Republican administration than throw him to the wolves and give the house to the Dems which is what this thoughtless rhetoric is accomplishing. Does anyone really see Roe v Wade ever being overturned? It will NEVER happen, so conservatives need to let go of the lightning rod, which incidentally has been designed and kept burning for division. Let women decide what they want to do with "their own bodies," especially the part where they burn in hell for murder.

It's almost amusing that the rats have to wait till we eat our own before they can win an eleciton.

[uncbob]

Only way the GOP loses the house if if the poed GOP voters stay home

They ain't gonna vote for the dems

[Brett66]

The GOP had Newt in '04, one the most brilliant political strategists ever, who do the democrats have that is like that?

[ladyinred]

I expect this to happen, and it will be a combination of lies from the left and carping from the right.

[porkchops 4 mahound]

The real world choice is not a pretty one.

"The devil or the deep blue sea?"

ANY democRAT will be absolute "yellow dogs" and "copperheads" when it comes to our National Defense.

These people are the same people responsible for ChiCom Nukes aimed at the west coast right now, and for North Korea having the ability to build Nukes, right now.....

It is far worse than Americans not being able to trust the democRATs with US national security.

We Americans cannot, and should not, discount the democRATs recent actual actions, and inactions, in the prelude to 9/11.

When we MUST consider the probability that the democRATs will collude with America's enemies in the name of self perceived interests, once again, to America's ultimate actual peril and harm?

On the OTHER HAND;

What can we make of open borders in the context of National security? I mean what the he!! is the problem with sealing our borders? We went to the frikkin MOON and came back, a few times. We know how to build walls and barriers. We know how to build, we can pay for "it" from penalties per head from Mexico et. al.

So...WTF? ACTIONS, not words, are what counts.

Seal AMERICA'S borders NOW!

The Republicans refuse to deal with this number 1 domestic problem in the post 9/11 National security world.

The Republicans act like they are ashamed of Conservatives, they act like they have no b@lls. They are always acting way too much "go along to get along". Which translates to bending over backwards for the democRAT's agenda.

What are the odds of the Republicans growing a set and working for America, instead of any other considerations?

Yeah, experience has taught us, don't hold yer breath, citizen.

Yeah, the real world choice, is NOT pretty.

The funny thing is even though Republicans in Congress get low marks (although I never put much faith in any poll), Democrats are just as bad if not worse.

Also, when people are polled about how their Congressman is doing, most strongly approve. Add that to redistricting in states like Texas and Georgia and it makes Democrats capturing the House a very long shot.

[hosepipe]

A RINO in the White House is the democrats secret weapon..

Whats worse in the White House NOW and 2008, a RINO or a Democrat.?.

Answer: A RINO.. A Rino can get MORE republican votes in Congress.. for legislation..
