There are thousands of people who have better credentials than this lady.
Who is that woman Ms. Miers?

I agree 100%
If this turns out badly the fact that she's old might be the best thing about her.
Thanks for the info, it is appreciated.
I agree. I really don't know much about this nominee, but I didn't know much about Roberts either. In this political climat, with everything else going on, I just don't think it would be smart to confront the Dems head on.
I trust him to put a candidate up that is going to further his views and that has a chance of confirmed.
And you are very correct, if I want to hear this kinda of stuff about George Bush, I just go lurk on DU.
I received the same email--sent a reply that I do not WANT another O'Conner--she was awful. (And that's all).
They are never confronted so they continue to push their propaganda and their agenda, and the country continues to drift to the left. THAT is what is unacceptable.
What is your strategy for success? Or perhaps I should ask what is your definition of success?
The base is unmotivated. We feel like the african-americans of the Republican party. On the Republican plantation, if you will. We will NOT continue to send the same people up there to continue to harvest our votes and then tell us to shut up, where are you going to go?
I intend to do the same thing. Living in California I am not in a position of voting for anyone conservative, so will begin to donate to those members of the House and Senate who whole the values I admire. The rest can go pound sand.
I already contacted all my reps..tld them in no uncertain terms I did NOT support this candidate and expected a NO vote.
Well, unlike the blacks the conservatives will stay home or vote third party. The biggest reason I have been sticking with the GOP is the judicial appointments. If THIS is the best they can do WHEN WE HAVE A MAJORITY what is the freaking point?
Exactly what I believe we are seeing. Conservative stealth nominees that George W is comfortable with. Ones that baffle the Democrats. Also, a large pool of competent conservative palate judges for future Presidents to draw on. Why would the base not be motivated? Only because GW refuses to be radical in his responses to the Dems. The conservative movement has made incredible progress under GW.
Oh come on...how many yrs ago was that? Texas was democrat through and through in those days. My folks were conservative dems...when Reagan came on the seen folks moved into the Republican party, especially when the dembos changed into a socialist/communist party/platform. Texas is NO LONGER a dem state...we're now Republican through and through. LBJ is a very poor example.
"LBJ is a very poor example"
No, he is an excellent example of how the Republican Party has moved so far left that they can barely be distinguished from the LBJ Democrats. Bush has spent more money than LBJ ever dreamed of.
What about Lyndon Johnson, Sam Rayburn, Ralph Yarborough, Sheila Jackson Lee, Paul Begala, Molly Ivins, Jim Hightower... I'm not saying that you're wrong about Texas being a conservative state, but I'm saying there are many many many liberals as well.
I agree...but they're NOT IN THE BUSH ADMINISTRATION!!!!
