I truly don't think the Miers nomination and this are comparable. Good try though. At the end of the day, the Conservative base will do what's in the best interest of the country. And if it's between Rudy Guiliani and Hillary Clinton, they will vote for Rudy. Until then, all they can do is whine because there just isn't a candidate out there that fits the bill.
"whine"?
I guess if you call exposing a gun grabbing, pro-abortion, pro-illegal immigration, pro-campaign finance reform liberal republican whining, then that's your dictionary, not mine.
I just remember the sweet silence of all the miers fans the moment she withdrew and through the alito process. They were so damn sure "aunt harriet" was going to make it through to the final round. Taunting, calling people "unappeasable uber conservatives", saying it was her or nothing...then...SILENCE!!
You guys should try that more...it was fun!
Take my word on this one, Hildy . . . If you are a Republican, YOU DO NOT WANT TO BET ON THAT ONE.
