That's swell.

Just so you know, an embarassing Bush retreat here will likely weaken his Presidency to the point of irrelvancy.

All this ranting merely strengthens the Left.

Flame away, but I have no doubt of it. The DU'ers are laughing their a**s off.

Sorry, you're wrong.

The republican party is the party of ideas. Positions are supposed to be debated in order to have the best one win.

The democratic party is the party of lockstep compliance with leadership. Remember how everybody fell in line no matter what Clinton did? And everyone here rightly derided it.

Now, the party and some people here are trying to do the same thing - stifle any debate based on the issues and ideas. They're doing it with things like calling people 'elitists' or 'sexists' or saying they're disloyal or hurting the party. Some even went as far as to say this would 'hurt the war effort'.

Not only is that wrong, it is offensive.

Failing to question bad decisions is why the democratic party is in its current state of freefall. If we do the same, we won't get stronger. We'll just get weaker like they did.

Survival of the fittest ideals and principle leaves you with the fittest ideals and principles. It DOES NOT weaken you!

Surely you can't have missed a call for action in the volumes of criticism.

Nominate a known conservative jurist, and watch the RATS drop the laughing.

Only if his *retreat* doesn't involve replacing Miers with a nominee conservatives will not rally around.

The Democrat Underground has been lurking all over these threads...
We can only hope.

Maybe those lemmings will finally get it into their thick skulls that there are people who are willing to stand up for their innermost political convictions, instead of bowing to political expediency and unquestioningly accepting the perceived wisdom of people who we have no reason to trust, based upon their prior actions.

I hope they are lurking.

Maybe a few of them will have an epiphany and realize how ridiculous it is to be part of a cult of personality.

Perhaps they'll realize what a foolhardy decision it was to countenance the subornation of perjury, obstruction of justice, and grotesque abuse of power by the Clinton administration.

Maybe they'll think twice before falling in lockstep behind a charismatic leader, who may-or may not-have your best interests in mind.

I sure as hell hope they're lurking!

Let them see what it means to stand up for your principles, instead of being a mindless sycophant of one political leader.

Especially given the way the weak kneed Republicrats handled the Democratic Party memos -fired the staff aids
and helped suppress the content -- I see no reason to expect the Republicans to grow juevos and ever stand for anything-they've been playing queerguns with the Democrats far too long.

You are 100% right. The goal here is a new strat by the left to try to make a candidate too unappealilng to the "ultras" on the right so that they peel of 5-6 votes. They learned well in the Roberts process.

We will NOT get a Luttig or a Brown or an Owens (who indeed withdrew) if Miers is torpedoed. Period.
