My "Dear George" Letter

Thankfully, supporting George W Bush is a secondary question these days, seeing as he won't be elected again.

This article will naturally annoy the 'George Bush is the greatest president in history' crowd, but for the rest of us, he's been a fine president with poor moments. Illegal immigration is the bat I'd normally pick to beat upon his policies with.

Be that as it may, he is the president, my opinion of him won't change that, and the president gets to pick the nominees. When I was picturing Bush picks for SCOTUS, I didn't picture either Miers or Roberts, I pictured Scalia and Thomas - one of those campaign promise things. Ahh well, time will tell.

What does bother me is with Miers' choice there will be less incentive for other justices to depart. It was a message to the court - if you're looking to be replaced by giants, we've already reached the bottom of the barrel.

OK -- there are some valid criticisms here. But look at the bigger picture and consider the alternatives:

The Ghost of A Potential President Past

The Ghost of A Potential President Present

The Ghost of A Potential President Yet to Come

I'm sticking with "Dear George."

Lost his radio job when he refused to apologized to CAIR about remarks he made concerning terrorism and Islam.

He was a huge hero on FreeRepublic just weeks ago.

According to the infallible American pope and his sycophantic supporters, you're a sexist if you think Harriet Souter is unqualified, and you're a racist if you don't think Hurricane Katrina was caused by past discrimination! And don't argue, you DU troll!

[anniegetyourgun]

Yes, and the older I get the more I tire of the constant arm-chair quarterbacking.....

This week he's pissed about the pick, and now he's a villain. Just like Ann, Rush, and a few others.

Funny how that works.

He's the guy who said ISLAM is a terrorist organization.

That is seriously over the top, just like his stupid letter.

Good rant. The koolaid is flowing stronger than ever around here.

[gardencatz]

Wow...let's all get really, really hysterical and judge the woman before the hearing...yeah, that's the logical and level-headed thing to do.

Well Congress, if it wanted to, could after Breyer and Ginsburg leave or pass away take away there seats and leave it at seven seats, that would give us a majority for many moons.

Thanks for the post.

I was beginning to think that conservatives were getting out of control with their remarks against Bush's pick...I was even thinking Ann Coulter's diatribe on Hannity the other night was way over the top...UNTL this morning when I read Charles Krauthammers article(on Drudge)against Harriet Miers. Now I'm really worried about this pick.

[tfecw]

More than a few will argue that Islam *is* a terrorist orginazation.

Thank you for posting this information. Mark Levin made this pretty clear in the last couple of days....I suspect most folks don't realize that the what you see in the Senate is not necessarily what we get when it comes to an up or down vote.

IMHO, GWB knows what is at stake and that is the reason he has chosen Harriett.

I've changed my original thoughts on this whole thing since the original announcement by President Bush. I was ready to fight just to fight the DEMS. Guess the MSM has my last nerve hooked up to the tin foil hat.

[Sabramerican]

I see this is many of the responses but it's a complete non sequitur.

Bush is not running for anything and certainly not against those people.

The only issue is whether TODAY one considers themselves a supporter of this President and his policies. Not vis a vis anyone else. Just whether you approve or disapprove of the way he does his job.

[dawn53]

LOL! That's what I've been hearing, he's lost his base.

[nascaryankee]

They could abolish the Supreme Court and I wouldn't cry.......... yet. lol Maybe later after we actually need them........

[asp1]

The President's enemies constantly underestimate him. It sounds as if many conservatives are doing the same. I am hoping that Ms. Miers knocks everyones' socks off and that all the doubting Thomases out there eat their words.

Don't be worried, just trust Bush. All those people are wrong and are just showboating.

No self-respecting Republican OR conservative would say that Miers is the most qualified for the position.
