Blogger scumbag Assrocket suggests * caved to Dems demands with Miers

Just so you know what sort of knee-JERK theorizing is going on over at the powerslime blog, here ya go >>>

When President Bush nominated John Roberts to the Court, liberal interest groups like NARAL and People for the American Way were burning up the fax lines within a matter of minutes, denouncing Roberts and demanding that the Democrats block him. This time? Nothing. Check out the NARAL and PFAW web sites. Nothing but bland press releases adopting a wait-and-see attitude.

What did happen within 30 minutes of Bush's announcement was a press release by Harry Reid that included the statement, "I like Harriet Miers." It's hard to avoid the suspicion that Bush's nomination of Miers reflects some kind of deal with the Senate Democrats. Such as, the Dems gave Bush a list of candidates they would deem "acceptable" (pending Judiciary Committee hearings, of course), and Bush chose the best candidate he could off that list.

Is that what happened? I don't know, but the theory seems to fit the facts. Why would Bush accede to the Democrats rather than fight for another Roberts-type conservative? The only reason I can think of is that liberal Republicans in the Senate, starting with Arlen Specter, told him they wouldn't back him up if he replaced Sandra O'Connor with a strong conservative. There are enough RINOs in the Senate to make such a threat credible, I think.

This is pure speculation, but it is one scenario that seems to fit the facts as we know them so far.

1. He's Just Jealous

He wanted the appointment. There are far too many uncovered boobs out there, and they all belong to Bush!

2. Pssssst...efungelical nutjobs

If your god-appointed prez REALLY wanted to, he could have chosen a KNOWN wingnut judge for the SCOTUS. And, guess what, the Republicans control the Senate, NOT the Democrats. Gee, ya think the Republicans used ya yet again?!?!?!?

Feeling duped yet.:spray:

3. Perhaps the right wing's "base" should get together ...

... and unite under the effective leadership of the well-know Ben Dover. :evilgrin:

Then maybe Ben could lodge a formal complaint with the White House and *'s hand-picked CCCB (Crony in Charge of Complaints from the Base). I believe her name is Helen Waite.

So all those right wingnuts unhappy with * right now for go to Ben Dover who will, in turn, be instructed to go to Helen Waite.

4. He wants Dems to vot for someone unqualified so he doesn't take

all the heat for placing unqualifieds in position of importance.

So what do Dems do? Do they go political and vote her in? Or do they say no - she isn't qualified and then faith Darth Vader as the next nominee?
