Truth to tell, I believe that's getting really thin. Rush is attempting to rationalize his "displeasure" with the whole Miers nomination. He doesn't realize or doesn't care about the level of ammunition he is giving to the Left.
No, he's giving ammunition to the Conservative Base to keep working to reform the GOP so we can again call it home and be energized to win again in 2006 and 2008. You don't think the White House/GOP has been off the Conservative track on spending, borders/immigration, energy independence, the GWOT, etc.?
