Libs Attack over Miers
Libs are trying to capitalize on the Miers departure with attack ads?! Well, knock me over with a feather...who would have guessed that?
Seriously folks, most of us are almost numb to this sort propaganda that is designed to destroy Bush by any means. That's why the radical liberal's tactic of "hate, scare and exaggerate" keep Dems poll numbers even lower than Bush's. And the DNC wonders why they can't make any polical headway against Bush? Well, look who is at their helm, Howard Dean, head radical! Oh, he represents quite well the minority fringe element of his party, but the vast majority of Dems are without a voice and that is taking it's toll. Meanwhile, these leftist radicals take their cheap shots, shooting at Bush, shooting at the GOP, shooting themselves, shooting, shooting, shooting... like the loose cannons they are.
So, contrary to this current propaganda campaign, it was not right-wing nut jobs that forced Miers out. These people do exist, I admit, but they are only a tiny minority and they don't run the GOP agenda! Rather, this nominee's problem came from a growing number mainstream types with very sensible concerns about her qualifications. There was also a very real conflict of interest she had to hurdle. In the end, this was her undoing.
Perhaps the next nominee will be better known with better overall qualifications, like a Janice Rogers Brown, the daughter of a sharecropper who rose to become a justice on the Supreme Court of California.
Conservatives only want the best possible candidate. Someone with an established track record on the bench and with the highest judicial qualifications; So we can feel confident they won't legislate from the bench and will deliver decisions that will serve America as our founders intended. That's fair, that's reasonable and that's very typical of what most Americans want in a Supreme Court Justice.

Hey Jack,
Your doing a nice job with your blog. Looks good and reads well.
But that doesn't mean you won't stumble from time to time, like on your take on Miers.
"So, contrary to this current propaganda campaign, it was not right-wing nut jobs that forced Miers out."
Oh yes it was. You can start with Dobson, leader of the evangelical crusaders, who abhored the idea of getting a subpeona and testifying about what Rove told him. From the movement conservatives, you have David "Axis of Evil" Frum running down Miers - in a nice way - on the Lehrer News Hour and later on KFI in Los Angeles. That was priceless. This was either a day or two before she withdrew.
Frum said they had formed a group, were setting up a website and had bought ad time on CNN. Frum said they had six thousand petition signatures even before going on-line.
You guys were gearing up to Swiftboat one of your own.
What it meant was the Republican base was going to blow cold on Miers right up to the hearings. Bush had no choice but to take her off the table.
The whole episode proves how incredibly weak Bush has become.
I don’t see how Bush nominates anyone other than a hard-line conservative. He can’t win a fight with his base. Bush needs to pick a fight with the Democrats, and let his base fight the fight for him.
That’s classic Karl Rove politics of division.

I can't help but think that President Bush has pulled yet another rope-a-dope on the Dems. He gave into them to the point that it split the republican base. He was so weakened by the "leak gate" non-event, he had to disregard what's best for the Country, his party? He just gave up and caved, I don't think so. Everyone was watching the left, look out for the Right! I just hope President Bush does what he has every right to do. Nominating the most ultra conservative judge he can find would be a start. This will tell the dems to get fudged. If they want to appoint judges they should try to win an election or two. When that is done he should start playing hardball. They like investigations, lets have some investigations! Let's see who blinks.
