Given the choice, we had to vote for him.

It certainly helped that he promised to nominate constitutional originalists. Now what do we have?

??????????????????

Exactly.

Trust but verify. The problem here is that there is nothing there to verify.

I'm willing to give the President the benefit of the doubt. However, I voted for a President, not a dictator, not a king.

My vote is not an oath of blind, unquestioning, obedience.

Are you trying to say that W is God? Dude, you're in serious trouble.

If You Don't Trust Him to Choose, Why Did You Vote for Him?

I took him at his word.

He didn't keep it.

Miers is no Scalia or Thomas.

The alarmist, cannibals, extremist, subversives, and DUer's all need something to unite over...

"He is however President, and therefore has the right to nominate whomsoever he pleases."

And I have the right to disagree.

By the way, I voted for Bush because I trusted him. Today, I don't have the same level of trust for him. But, I still support him because he's our President. I hope he is right about Miers, but if he's not the, impact of his decision will be felt for decades. Sad thing is, we won't know until we see how she decides on cases that are brought before the SC. Another Souter, we need NOT!

[Petronski]

By that logic, I should trust the President's choice, NO MATTEER what it is....If he chooses my cable guy or my high-school gym teacher, I should support him.




Riiiiight.

I'm beginning to wonder why the political conservatives voted for Bush.

Because in a race between a moderate and a socialist, we chose the moderate.

[trubluolyguy]

Where they have no knowledge, they seek advice from people they trust who do. Quite bluntly, they trust Dobson and Warren more than they do Limbaugh and Coulter. And because Dobson and Warren trust Bush on this, they are more inclined to do so.

Does this guy have the money to go out and buy a clue?

Of all the lame pro-Miers arguments, this one might be the lamest.

It's exactly like someone saying "If you voted for Gore, how can you support Bush's war against al Qaeda" or "if you voted for Gore, how can you support Bush's pro-invader policies".
