There's the way to reunite the party.

There will be no reunification. The bile and hatred directed at Ms. Miers has created a permanent rift. Even now, on this thread, after she has withdrawn, there are people calling her a lesbian. I have seen people call her a pig and worse. I will NEVER side with such people, no matter if they are on the Left or the Right.

More to the point: From now on, any candidate for public office who prances around either calling himself a "real" conservative or courting same will not get my vote.

LOL........I was laughing about that to myself; they just assume we'd all fall in line.

Oh, they "won" this round; but I'm not sure they realize what the "prize" is going to be. :-)

Oh, like we buy that 'threat.' C'mon, Wolfie, anyone who's seen you post around here knows you'd never have voted for a conservative anyway! As long as there's a RINO in the mix you'd be too busy pestering him for an autograph and a cozy place near his rectum with the rest of your moonbot sycophant pals to even think about voting for a conservative. I pity you in 2008, with McRINO and RINOliani and RINOmney all likely to be in the primary. Fiddledeedee, whatever will you do, with so many RINOs to brownnose?!?!

I agree, Wolfstar. What has gone on here is nothing short of evil.

I'm not referring to legitimate concerns about Harriet Miers. I'm talking about vile attacks on her character, and the character of the President.

If these angry ubers think they've WON anything here, they're sadly mistaken.

All they've done is reveal the depths of their own depravity and scorn.

Pray for the President and for Harriet Miers. The wounds are deep.

"There will be no reunification".

Why should there be?

Did Bush just un-sign CFR? Did he just un-grow the fed gvt?

Did he not try to pull this Miers thing off to begin with?

Did you Bush bots not all put support for the party ahead of principle?

Reconcile this.

Sorry, I was looking over my reply queue and found that I had missed your post earlier.

And do you really think those people represent the majority of those opposed to Miers? I doubt they even represent a substantial minority. Are you really going to categorically refuse to cooperate with people who've been opposed to her simply because some of her opponents have made over-the-top comments? Show me any matter of public controversy where comments like that don't get made by somebody.
