It's the party 'moderates' who've been crapping all over the conservative wing for the last lifetime or so. I'm more than just a little bit tired of 'trust us'.
The Miers nomination is the third strike as far as I'm concerned for the Bush Administration. (Strike One: Rx Medicare Bill, Strike Two: the Highway Monstrosity, strike Three: The Miers Nomination.)
And for sinkspur I say let her have her 'hearings' and I hope that what passes for conservative Republican Senators tear her a new one.

Just count how many Dems vote FOR her. I do not see any way that she is stopped. I can only seek comfort in the fact that maybe, some many years from now, we can have this issue to crush the RINOs who pretend they are conservative... but I doubt it, we have been betrayed so many times before and always a new generation comes up that finds it easier to close their eyes and pretend that they are not being used or duped. We have had this abomination of an income tax for 90 years because of that, and likely abortion will mark its 50th and gay mariage its 20th. Thanks Bush!!
If you are keeping a list, don't forget the whiff on Campaign Finance Reform.
