My disappointment comes from the manner in which this has been discussed, and for the very obvious reason that Kristol and Frum think they are now calling the shots.
There is disagreement. Then there is name-calling. I don't like name-calling, as you know. I also detest Kristol, and I will tell you right now he is going to try to maneuver the conservatives into abandoning Bush. Kristol doesn't give two hoots about the judiciary; he simply wants to destroy this President. Miers was simply his vehicle of choice.
You hit the nail on the head.
This is about the cause....we have a chance of a lifetime....that can be passed up.
Bingo!
I've been reading Bill Kristol, who staunchly supports the Presidents war on terror, for over 15 years. The above hardly an accurate description of him.
If the President nominates a good conservative ALL REPUBLICANS, including Kristol, will rally around the President and he will look stronger than ever.
