It’s Time to Unite
I’ve spent a healthy portion of today listening to talkradio and reading the right blogosphere and two things are apparent. There’s alot of people who aren’t happy that Harriet Miers didn’t get her proverbial day in court. There’s also alot of conservatives who are thankful to see Harriet Miers withdraw her nomination. I’m certain that both are heartfelt and sincere. At this point, both points are irrelevant in going forward.
Conservatives can keep their eyes on the main prize or they can go home and let liberals get their way. That’d be a stupid thing to do. We’ve told America that we think that getting judicial conservatives is vitally important with our 63 million votes for President Bush. It’s time that we followed through on that and unite behind a strong, verifiable conservative.
It’s imperative that we all drop our insistance on this or that candidate. Yes, it’s fine to email the White House and suggest our favorite candidate but it isn’t fine to demand that candidate. It’s vitally important that we step behind the candidate that President Bush nominates. On a sidenote, it’s expected that President Bush will name his new nominee before this Sunday’s political talk shows, possibly even Friday.
Conservatives also have the responsibility of getting behind the rest of President Bush’s agenda, which is sounding more and more conservative each day. There’s just too much at stake to stay upset and complain that the Miers nomination broke your heart. Conservatives simply can’t afford that type of apathy.
