Sounds like your Dad was a wise man!
I, too, will take the sit back and wait & listen approach. I must admit to an earlier life as a Democrat, first as a liberal then a moderate. It took years of watching our government throwing money at our schools, the poor, and all of society's problems to realize money couldn't solve those problems and there had to be a better way. I began my road to conservatism, and now consider myself to be a TRUE conservative no matter. Who's to say she hasn't been on the same journey?
Thank you. It's really annoying seeing so many professed conservatives fly off the handle and just assume this is a bad thing without proper time being taken to examine it and see how she proves herself out. I think in a few months, Roberts and Miers will have proven themselves to be conservative Justices loyal to the spirit of the Constitution, as all real conservatives are, and there will be a lot of Freepers that will owe Bush an apology for being emotional before rational.
