I'm not quite ready to go along with that sentiment just yet. Don't misunderstand me - I'm always, always willing to be reasonable with those who disagree with me, provided they're willing to be reasonable back. But I'm not going to keep my opinions under wraps just for some vague desire for unity. Bush's next nomination is going to be very important, and I'm ready to put up as much of a fight as I did against Miers if this new nominee doesn't measure up. And because of Miers, the "Trust Bush" refrain is going to have even less credibility now.
Oh, absolutely!...but I assume, Bush will choose a proven conservative with a track record to bring our side together again (I hope he does try to bring the LEFT to his side!)... assuming he is mostly a conservative and an intelligent person. You can say anything you want about the first nomination.. and I can even give him the benefit of the doubt, because he might in fact have known Mrs Miers so well... he knew she was the one, but we all know the problems with this... trusting that much was just too much for many of us. You can also think of a number of excuses/situations why he miscalculated.
One thing is for sure, we'll finally find out what Bush is all about in less than three days! - Having a SECOND CHANCE and failing again, would be like exploding a nuclear device on his presidency... it's all up to him!
