California Conservative » BREAKING NEWS: Miers Withdraws — Thu, 27 Oct 2005 14:08:14 +0000

[...] Any opportunity to make a press statement using “radical right wing” and they’re on it. “The White House said Miers had withdrawn her name because of a bipartisan effort in Congress to gain access to internal documents related to her role as counsel to the president. But politics played a larger role: Bush’s conservative backers had doubts about her ideological purity, and Democrats had little incentive to help the nominee or the embattled GOP president.” Now that Ms. Miers has withdrawn her nomination, we can unequivocally say that she made the right decision. No more neutrality for us. [...]

Right On, Harriet!

California Conservative is neutral: “Do we think she is the best nominee? LetÃ‚â€™s put it this way: Any candidate that can splinter our party so terribly as weÃ‚â€™ve seen cannot be supported without reservations.”

Fair enough. No one is talking about “marching in lock step,” except our leftist enemies.

Just make sure we don’t destroy ourselves from within.

Most conservatives have stood with Bush from the beginning. Those of us who know him, like him. WeÃ¢â‚¬â„¢ve swallowed policies we might otherwise have objected to because weÃ¢â‚¬â„¢ve believed that he and those around him are themselves conservatives trying to do the right thing against sometimes terrible odds. WeÃ¢â‚¬â„¢ve been there for him because weÃ¢â‚¬â„¢ve considered ourselves part of his team.
No more.

From now on, this administration will find it difficult to muster support on the right without explaining why it should be forthcoming. The days of the blank check have ended because no thinking conservative really wants to be part of a team that requires marching in lock step without question or thought, even if it is headed by the president of the United States.

Even though this is wearing me down, I still side with the anti-anti-Miers. Radioblogger brought this to my attention.

Miers was a terrible choice by our President. It is obvious to me now that President Bush is capable of making huge mistakes….

Schumer: Miers Does Not Have The Votes!

Man I hate agreeing with Chuck Schumer but he is absolutely right about the Miers nomination. He does not believe she has the votes to be confirmed. She would have to give an outstanding presentation at the hearings to change that and I do not believ…
