Nice article.
Disappointed though I am in Miers' choice, I'm pragmatic enough to realize that letting the Dems win in '06 will disappoint me orders of magnitude more.
Dissent and churn is part of a healthy democratic process that'll likely keep the Repubs in touch with their base and relevant to the big questions of the day and avoid the fate of the current Dem party. I don't grudge the Bush protestors on the right their protest or their reasons.
Have a nice day.
I'm far more cynical than that. I will hold my nose and support the nominee. But only because the alternative, left-wing control of our country, stinks to high-heaven.
But I have no illusion anymore that any member of the Republican establishment has any interest, intention, or desire to pay any attention to conservatives; except to our checkbooks, our precinct walking and our votes every two years. None.
The only hope for this country is for conservatives to take over the Republican party and to change the Republican establishment because it stinks.
