You think I care what you think? LOL.

You come on this particular thread to trash President Bush and Harriet Miers. I'm fed up with your attitude. Why don't you start your own thread?

This sums up what many conservatives are feeling, and you need to come to grips with this fact. I have been an ardent supporter of President Bush, but this ridiculous second pick is too much for even me to handle. Conservatism and the Republican Party are both bigger than Bush. We have to continue on while he plans his library.

"The collective complaint - We elected fifty-five Senators and broke the threat of a Democratic filibuster so Bush could appoint a stealth moderate? It looks weak (Dems smell blood), it gives nothing to the base, and it is implausible that Bush can be hoping to form a new centrist coalition built around Lieberman and Leahy. Bush seems to be conceding the argument that a true, visible conservative cannot be confirmed,despite his control of the Senate. And it looks like cronyism, mainly because it is."
