It's another great day to be a Dem, with Reid's pick going to the Sup Ct. I try to console myself that at least John Kerry isn't doing it. In the Oval Office.
Here in PA we are used to the disconnect from the elected reps. We have Arlen Specter. The President endorsed Specter when a true conservative alternative was available. That's when I stood back and took a good hard look at the two Presidents Bush. They are moderates and compromisers and it's naive to expect them to act like conservatives. The current President signed McCain-Feingold, favors the Law of the Sea Treaty, and every chance he gets, he deodorizes Bill Clinton a little more. He's a globalist, a big spender, and lately he's reaching out to Arabs and urging Israel to make more suicidal concessions.
John Roberts was one thing, but Harriet Miers is an outright stab in the front, even to the disillusioned.
Therefore---why should I care if the GOP is united? Which clearly they are not. Who defended the President in the aftermath of Katrina? How few are defending Tom DeLay? It's been every man for himself, all along. They are mostly RINOs and by definition RINOs are unprincipled, claiming to be what they are not.
The sooner the GOP fractures, the better. This country needs two new parties.
Rant over, I'm going to sit back and watch the starry-eyed folks who think Bush hung the moon, as they stand on their heads trying to see red on blue here, trying to discern strategery in this grossly disappointing appointment, still trying to see a Reagan in a Bush.
