Shhhhhhhh! You're Starting to Act Like THEM!

Three days is long enough. Too long, if you ask me. The gnashing of teeth, the whining, the feigned hurt -- "he DISSED us!", and all this rending of conservative cloth has got to STOP!!!! Yes, if you're a rock-ribbed conservative, you've got every reason to wonder why President Bush chose to tap Harriet Miers to fill Sandra Day O'Connor's slot on the Supreme Court. I understand his response to your questions and worry are not satisfying. BUT -- just as "we" don't know much of anything about Miers (except what others who don't know much about her are saying), doesn't she deserve some modicum of respect? I mean to hear some folks rant (George Will comes to mind), this woman is some boob from the back woods of Texas who "ain't got the sense God gave a caterpillar". STOP IT!!!!!

All of this over-the-top carping does only ONE thing: makes normally reasoned conservatives look about as rational as the dKOS/DU/Deaniac left fringe. I've had enough of the carping. When Ms. Miers is testifying before the Senate Judiciary Committee during her hearings, THEN we will know more about her. We will (hopefully) get a better read on her thinking and her intellect. If she doesn't "measure up" to the questioning and probing, she won't be approved. Until then, let's face it: we just don't know. Period. So SHUT UP, and quit acting like my 5 year old who just got out-done by his 7 year old brother. "It's not fair!!! he tricked me!!! Wahhhhhhh!!!!"

And one other thing. Ms. Miers (I WILL give her the respect she's due) deserves to be treated as an adult, at the bare minimum. So does President Bush. Even if you disagree with him, he's still the President. He didn't have an affair with an intern in the Oval Office. He didn't turn the White House into some home of covert activity. All he did was nominate someone other than your preferred choice to the Supreme Court. So let's settle down, and remember there are quite a few folks out there who want to see you DEAD. I think that's a much more pressing concern.
