Oh, really? Bushbot? Kool aid drinkers? What are those and similar epithets designed to do except to marginalize and silence?
Show me one argument supported by the majority of the nomination's opposition that is unfair.
Most of you claimed she was not qualified. In fact, her qualifications are comparable to many former SCOTUS justices. As far as the Constitution is concerned, she is qualified. When you folks yammered about qualifications, what you were really saying is that she didn't have a public record from which you could draw reassurance that she would vote and write opinions on the court the way you demand.
But your statement is outrageous - why should we have supported your candidate when it was always plain and clear that you had no intention of supporting ours?
Ah...that's where you don't yet recognize the damage you've done. I am a life-long Republican. Never voted for a Dem. Never will. I have voted for a long, long list of conservative Republicans because they tend to represent my policial point of view. I share many, if not most of the same political positions as does your crowd. It is your tactics, your vitriol, your piling on, your dismissiveness of those of us who admire and support GWB that has alienated me. Permanently.
You people scare me as much as the hard Left does.

*Cough* "elitist", "sexist", and much much worse - and not made as an addition to a supporting argument, but in lieu of one. Shall I tag you with these as you tag me and others with arguments we have never made?
WRT the "qualifications" issue, that's again something I never made, so I won't speak for others.

I've never voted for a Dem, never will either. And I doubt you are talking from anything but momentary passion. But let me tell you, this straight-line GOP voter would not be casting any more GOP votes had Miers been confirmed, and so would a heck of a lot more than the ones who are so upset that this nomination failed that they are crying that the ball is theirs and that if they can't win every time they're taking it home.
You people scare me as much as the hard Left does.
I'm finding it harder and harder to tell the difference between what you want and what the Left wants. Both are extremely bad for conservatives. Who cares how many conservatives you have voted for if you're ready to betray us on every crucial issue like the rest of the liberal GOP camp?
