Thanks for the history lesson.
The GOP had a Senate majority in 2005.
Not one GOP Senator had even suggested he would vote against Miers before she withdrew.
To congratulate George Bush for nominating Samuel Alito is like congratulating George Bush for withdrawing his Immigration Amnesty just a few months later.
Conservatives were Bush’s political base.
We went apoplectic on both those issues, and Bush angrily backed down on both issues.
By 2006, Bush didn’t care what his base thought.
The result - Obama and huge Demo majorities.
Yours is a bit warped and egotistical, so I'm glad I could help you out.
Bush nominated Alito. You can say whatever you want, but zeestephen wasn't in the White House standing by Sam Alito.
George W. Bush was. HE gets the credit.
