You know, some of us quit on the guy with Miers. I think we were ahead of the curve, but there were others who saw it from the start, like billbears and freepatriot32, who deserve a little respect for their prescience. You sure don’t see a lot of ‘Bots around here spouting off any more about how Bush is an ideal bannerman. So let me get their Flavoraid distributor par excellence over here to put in his two pesos! C’mon, Johnnie! Tell us how Ann is the AntiChrist for being against the amnesty, er, ‘comprehensive immigration reform,’ and how those durn Border Patrol ruffians were understandably top priority for federal prosecution over drug-running illegal aliens. The RNC pays you good money to shill for El Presidente Jorge—earn it! Expose Ann for the know-nuthin’ she is, you cute li’l votary, you!

I have been wondering too where the Bushbots are. I was even accused for years of being a closet Democrat because I dared to question some of GWB’s previous initiatives. I sorely regret ever having voted for him for anything. I guess Pat Buchanan was right to vacate the GOP when he did though I hated to see him do that. Pat has been right far, far, far more than GWB.

Coulter has always been a little too Republican for my tastes and not enough Classical Liberal. That being said she nails it rather well in this article. The problem with some goes back, unfortunately in too many instances with this administration, to Washington's warning in his Farewell Address. There will always be those that 'seek security and repose in the absolute power of an individual; and sooner or later the chief of some prevailing faction'. And again unfortunately they will always be with us. Bush could come out tomorrow and claim himself the anti-Christ and there would be some that would say 'Well that's not all that bad...'

This situation with immigration is yet another example of the disconnect with Republicans and conservatives. And if the polls on general issues have anything to say about it, Republicans may be in for a bit of a shock come next year. If Bush had governed conservatively anytime in the past 7 years, he possibly could have slid this through with some argument. Would have been passed off as a fluke but it would pass. However as Bush has governed more liberally than even LBJ, conservatives (Republican and otherwise) have had enough. The fact that Coulter however has expressed it is somewhat shocking.
