I opposed her (belatedley). It's not even close. The anti's were, in many cases, absolutely horrible. That is not to excuse "sexist" and the other names thown out by the pros. Some painted too wide a swath: "elitist" applied to Coulter (that was the heart of her early argument), but not all antis.

But like I said, it wasn't even close. One of the reasons it took me so long to switch to the oppose side is that it was hard for me to be on the same side as such mean-spirited people. And for that, I'm sure I'll be called a pollyanna.

BTW, the same could be said of the immigration issue. I would have a tendency to agree with the hard-liners, but so many of them are loudmouthed jerks. It's hard to associate with such people, even if tehy are "right".

Well, its done now. We need, for the good of the President, the Party and the conservative movement; to move on, clean up, and put on our asbestos PJ's for the Mother of all Battles with the real enemy: those leftist pukes in the Senate who will bring their "A" game when Bush sends up Luttig or Brown or Owens or somebody we KNOW is an originalist.

I vow, from the safety of this keyboard, to walk through internet fire for President Bush if we comes through on this next pick. I'm sure that's tremendous comfort to him. :>

If we are going to be total children and continue to lobby for nicest side...I have to say that regardless of who was meaner in the end, I was on the very first posts when Miers was nominated, and the Pro-Miers side was immediately condescending, dismissive, and began the namecalling. One need only do a search for the first threads. Any of us who simply voiced doubts, particularly when Reid seemed happy, were called the Donner Party, DU trolls, traitors, closet liberals, and a host of more personal insults. We were also all dismissed as false conservatives, extremists (strangely inconsistent, I know), and despite our obvious numbers we were marginalized as libertarian-never-for-Bush naysayers which was erroneous and disingenuous.

So anyway, here we are. We all called each other names. Waahhhh.
