The President has the bully pulpit and failed to use is his entire first term.
I'm still pissed about Miguel Estrada.
Because if there's one blazing fact to emerge from the Miers flap, it's a message, loud and clear, to the RINO's in the Senate. Especially those seven who undermined the party and went out making deals on their own.
The President had every opportunity to consolidate and direct those constituencies who brought the content of the Miers nomination to light against the Lindsay Graham's of this world. Instead, he backed an aged and ailing Arlen Specter against an up and coming Pat Toomey.
AS WELL AS Frist and others scared and reluctant to invoke what was called the "nuclear" option. They were too afraid of bad press.
If you think the President had nothing to do with choosing Frist in the first place you weren't watching carefully.
I am waiting, with bated breath and unlimited interest, to see a John McCain go gallvanting all about and talking this nominee down. Conservatives across the country made it know that they considered the Miers nomination a wussy thing to do.
And we'd better well get started making it unmistakeably clear to Senator McCain that life will be very painful if he doesn't line up and salute.
May as well be honest about it, Carry_Okie. You have never been a supporter of President Bush. Even if you were to tell me you voted for him, your paper trail all over FR indicates otherwise.
