So, you're saying I'm not part of the conservative base? I wasn't insulted at all, and I was willing to wait for the hearings before making a decision.

I voted for George W. Bush, and I donated more money than I could afford to get him elected, and I worked my heart out for him. I have watched "the base" act like a bunch of three year olds and people I used to respect throw temper tantrums like Deaniacs. I still haven't heard a word out of Miers mouth, but I have lost faith in the judgement of "the base".

My thoughts are that Miers isn't going anywhere.

Hearings scheduled to start before Thanksgiving.

If Bush, whether right or wrong on the selection, capitulates now he can write off the next three years of having a meaningful Presidency.

Well I was and I wasn't. The problem with the Senate process is that if Bush really wants he can get his nominee through. It will cost, of course, but he can do it. Who pays? Well, you and I. For instance, do you think Harry Reid's support came for free because he thought Ms. Miers was such a stunningly good candidate. Common! Harry was bought. Don't you want to know the price? I do.

Don't lose faith in yourself. Bush just chose Miers to as always appease the FRIGGN DEMOCRATS!

Guess he thinks he has a 3rd seat coming up and stupidly as always is just trying to compromise with the uncompromising Dems.
