BOTTOM LINE? REPUBLICANS DO NOT CONTROL THE CONGRESS

Miers Ree Ducks----I get this feeling that the objection to Miers is only about the fact that the Republican Conservatives didn't have somebody they could pick a big fight over. Well here's a news flash:

RINOs McCain, Chafee, DeWine, Graham, Warner, Collins and Snowe would have supported a "real" conservative like they supported Social Security Reform, adding individual investment accounts to Social Security, revising the tax code (eliminaing the "death tax"), and Immigration Reform. Conservatives are NOT a majority in the congress. In fact the GOP is actually a minority party on the issues that count. The RINOs struck early. Before Bush's coat was off after the inauguration, Senators (Arlen) Specter and (John) Warner were already warning him not to nominate anyone who would rile up the Senate. Even worse, Bush has made it very difficult to "grease" the foes; almost the entire White House Staff, the guys who had stuck with Bush all through the first term, were not "encouraged to stay on," thus the White House replaced them with (big surprise) medocrities who are not competent to do the jobs. Sowell had a good column a while back that should be required reading. Miers is the best the gutless Republican RINOs will allow through. However, Collins (URB--Useless RINO Bitch ME) moved Heaven and earth to get Judy Myers through committee in two days. Mudville links to a commentary (John in North Carolina)that uses the usual sexist crap, as do a ton of other blogs and editorials. No. It's RINO crap. Miers is all Bush can hope to get through the Senate.
