Sadly, that is exactly what the Mier's supporters on this board think we should do. And if you don't stfu (as you say), or agree with them, then get ready to be trashed.
As one who was "trashed" yesterday, and had my posts pulled while those who are pro-Miers can and are continuing personal attacks at will...let me confirm that you are now in for a world of hurt from the "Cult of Bush" with no recourse except support from like-minded FReepers, and the security that comes from knowing you are right, and that your values and principles are worth more than blind loyalty! (and if this is considered a "personal attack", then I guess it "depends on the meaning of 'personal'")
An excellent post of yours at 29!
Your post is ironic, considering the post of one of your fellows right above it.
I'd be willing to listen if anybody had one reason to support Miers other than trust Bush. I dunno, maybe he's looked into her soul ala Putin, but so far I haven't seen any facts to support that position, just that I should trust Bush.
Hey, I'm a conservative, I don't' trust any pol all the time.
I sure didn't think very highly of those pukes that took up for Clinton regardless of what he did. I ain't one of those, I put my country and what I think is best for it above any politician.
Sigh, I guess I'm stuck in the 90's when the republicans actually had a conservative agenda; the contract with American, defunding the Dept. of Ed. and NEA. Smaller governments, more local control, term limits, ending welfare, ya know, wild crazy stuff that Bush won't touch.
Instead we get the biggest increase in the size of goobermint in the history of the country. Expanded funding for the Dept. of Ed and NEA, CRF, a PC war of nation building with no exit strategy (remember those hits of the 90s?), a pig in a poke for the SCOTUS, porous borders and nary a whiff of SS reform, private accounts and getting rid of the NEA (remember those promises?). And while we're at it how about a veto every once in a while?
If conservative Bush supporters can justify all that bring it on, I'll listen again but I've already tried and, as a conservative, I can't and I'm not willing to have the republican party treat me like the dims treat blacks thinking that "where else are they going to go"? And don't give me that "oh, so you're voting for Hillary" stuff. No, I'm not voting for Hillary but so far it looks like both republicans and democrats want to take the country to socialist hell, one just wants to get there 10 mph faster.
I'm not going to help either one. I love this country far too much to be a willing accomplice when I think anybody is doing something to send it to the trash heap. And that doesn't include shutting up.
