If Brownback plans to run for President he will pay little attention to a tiny minority howling in the wilderness which could not get 10% of the votes if their beliefs were to be voted on. He is not going to ally himself with those attacking the President on every front.
Nor is he going to attack the nominee without cause. To do so would indicate that he does not have the Right STuff to be President.
Maybe someday people will wake up and realize that to be elected you must appeal to more than a minority of FR. We do not speak for the nation as a whole.
I would wager that not only will Brownback vote for Miers but so will EVERY GOP Senator. Her only opposition will come from the hard Left.
I'll never understand why people talk about political views as if they are a constant. Good leaders like Ronald Reagan explained their ideas to the public and changed public opinion to meet their philosophy. Bad leaders mold their ideas to meet what they perceive as public opinion.
Better performace on immigration issues...check! Reduced Government spending...check! Getting rid of judicial activitism....check!
Winning issues for the next 40-50 years, IMO
