I've noticed that over the last week the replies by the Pro-Miers crowd have become less and less and less.

Don't get me wrong, I think this is a good thing. It's just Freepers coming to their senses.

I have seen some post that they've changed their mind, others will just stop defending her. There will always be the few who will go to the mat out of stubbornness.

I knew us Freepers would come around. We're a smart bunch.

I agree. The tide has LONG SINCE turned on this nomination. There will always be the token Bushbots on this board who drink the Kool-Aid down to the last drop. We keep them around just for laughs.

I secretly suspect they are conservative FReepers under another screenname. I mean, how can anybody really be that delusional?

Okay, that was mean.

Okay, I've gone from optimistic to cautiously optimistic to cautiously pessimistic to flat out pessimistic over the last week or so. I guess you could now accurately label me as a former member of the Pro-Miers crowd. And, based on past experience, I would consider myself a pretty good bellwether of the views of the typical hardcore pro-life evangelical. Which means the last bastion of support for this nomination has just dried up. I expect Dobson to start backtracking as well, if he hasn't already.

You or anyone else can bust on me or rub it in or whatever, but I was willing to compromise on almost every other point to get a solidly pro-life Justice. But if Miers is not that, then there's nothing left.
