Cronyism Still Alive And Well - Justice Meirs?

Oh goody. Now the future of individual rights for the people of the U.S. will rest in the hands of King Georges' private lawyer. What are her qualifications for this job? NONE!!! Her only claim to fame for a qualifiation is that she is a Bush crony with a serious dose of "hero-worship" or in other words just plain stupidity. Here is what ultra-conservative David Frum has to say: In the White House that hero worshipped the president, Miers was distinguished by the intensity of her zeal: She once told me that the president was the most brilliant man she had ever met. Good God!! That remark is enough reason to vote against her nomination. I have to laugh however. Even the Georges' conservative base are upset. Take a look at some of the comments from the readers over at RedState.org: By: Erick · Section: SCOTUS Me, the sources, everyone it seems was wrong. We've all heard the rumors, but not a one could believe the President would do that. Where is our Scalia/Thomas. I think I'll let the President fight this battle himself, for now. It appears, for what it is worth, that George W. Bush was the ultimate stealth nominee. He has acted like a true-blue conservative, talking the talk and walking the tax cut walk. But, he has expanded government, spent the future, and now nominated she who has the potential to be a female Souter. Let's hope I'm wrong, but right now I'm not impressed. Update [2005-10-3 7:53:1 by Erick]: Miers also apparently gave money to Al Gore back in 1988. At least back then he was pro-life. But still. This ain't good. Oct 3rd, 2005: 07:45:58 ---------------------- It's time to move on By: Estes Rally to the conservatives in the House, the few in the Senate, and the men fighting the war. The White House is on their own. ----------------------- Call 911 By: Allan Bartlett The Bush Presidency is over as conservatives know it. He has spent the country into oblivian. Not one spending bill has been vetoed. He has expanded government. He has left the southern border unguarded. Now he gives us this crap? Sorry George. You are not a conservative. Who the hell is this woman besides your personal lawyer? ----------------------- I cannot believe this is happening...... By: TitansAFC ---"Bush lied to us. Let Kos cheer."--- Bush did lie to us, and now that I know he is capable of such blatant lying, I am distraught. Now we have to seriously wonder if the Democrats were right all along. Did we go to war for oil? Was it payback for daddy? Luttig, Jones, Brown, McConnell, Estrada, Garza, Alito, etc. etc. etc. ........so damn many good picks and they all get shunned - TWICE!!!!!!!!!!!!!! TWICE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I cannot believe that I ever trusted this man. I am such a fool. I cannot believe that I have been so foolish as to look past the open borders, the excessive spending, the support of moderate Senators over Conservatives, the nation building in Iraq, the twisted bankruptcy "reform," etc. I feel so sad right now, so angry. I have never felt so betrayed by George W. Bush, never. I will not buy into his "trust me," and "wait and see," we need to urge our Senators to vote her down, and organize primary challenges for those Republican Senators who support her. They're all probably going to stand behind her and the President. we must not let their solidarity be the defeat of Conservatism. I am so sad right now. I will not, I absolutely will not support this party in 2006 or 2008. No chance. Well that is really rich don't you think? Keep up the great work Georgie/Rove....for once the right-wing is eating its' own. Ya just gotta love it. Wouldn't it be something if the Republicans filibuster instead of the Dems? So now we have a politically correct choice (female replacing female), who is a Bush crony (King Georges' personal attorney). Then add stupidity/butt-kisser (GH is brilliant). Sleep well America your rights will definitely be protected now.
