Don't buy this whining about the 'unfair attacks.' They were few and far between, and that's now the party line of the party hacks to explain why their stealth nominee crashed and burned in the face of a united conservative call for a clearly qualified clearly constitutionalist nominee. But where the unfair attacks came from in this debate, contrary to these silly claims that she was 'miered,' were the sexist-elitist-insult lines of the Miers partisans. To hear them tell it now, that was just friendly banter, while using Miers' own words against her and pointing out her sparse record and credentials, that was a 'vicious attack.'

The RINOs here lost their last chance to keep the court RINO, and now they need to fall in with the conservative nominee. What they're doing instead is lining up to trash any conservative nominee with the Rats, and hoping they'll be able to wait out the right by trashing until they get another stealth lib. It's worked before, but it won't work this time. Too many of us are watching, we're mad as hell, and we're not going to take it any more.

I hate to say it, but I’m with you.

I am offended at the idea that someone would characterize our criticisms as personal. With such an avalanche of substantive evidence against this nominee it never needed to get personal (as if we would stoop to that!) and it never did.

THE ONLY PERSONAL ATTACKS, CAROL, WERE THOSE MADE AGAINST US!!! WE WERE CALLED SEXISTS, ELITISTS AND “ANTI-EVANGELICALS.” What unmitigated claptrap.

Also, Carol, there will be no adverse “political fallout” as you put it. That was just prevented by the withdrawal of this millstone of a nominee.

Are these posts analogous to the proverbial individual who “just loves to hear himself talk?” You surely cannot believe that we read stuff like this with a straight face.

It certainly looks that way. This is a wake up call for RINOs of all stripe.

Well said. The charge Miers was borked is over-the-top, hyperbolic nonsense and NOTHING more. Frankly, it's an insulting affront to the far more vicious slings and arrows and extraordinary humiliation endured by Bork and Thomas.
