We need friends on the court. Not enemies.
That's the difference - I care about conservatives winning - not Republicans. If Republicans sell out there conservative principals (as they have done timae & time again lately), what is the point of having them in power???
And another point - maybe you should look to the one who caused the huge rift in the party. His choice will lead to even lower poll numbers and make it harder for congressional Republicans to win. Doesn't he deserve a good share of the blame for putting the Republican Party in this position when it so easily could have been avoided?
If Miers makes it to the court, she sure won't owe the conservative elites any favors, will she?
(Yeah, yeah...I know it ain't supposed to run that way, but....)
They haven't even given her a chance yet to open her mouth.
