While the subject is slightly different (Iraq instead of Miers) it is the exact same sentament. (mine was from 10/4 though)

Fed up Republicans Using Miers Nomination as an Excuse to Save Face While Giving Up on Bush

They don't want to admit that they were wrong on their policies or on their support of the Iraq War.

They don't want to admit that what their ideals have brought us is the biggest govt' in history and the biggest national debt in history.

They don't want to admit that Katrina was a huge federal failure.

They don't want to admit they have been supporting the oil companies and taking more money out of their own pockets causing gas to skyrocket.

They don't want to admit that they have become so corrupt that they are stealing more money than could possibly be saved by destroying public programs.

They don't want to admit that ultra-conservativism is causing most of the problems that we face today.

So, they finally are fed up, but instead of showing true form and admitting they were wrong, they are going to say Bush picked a bad SC nom. and that is the last straw?

Guess so

Conservative Crackup
How the neocons have developed a political exit strategy.

By Howard Fineman
Newsweek

Oct. 12, 2005 - President George W. Bush may have no military exit strategy for Iraq, but the “necons” who convinced him to go to war there have developed one of their own—a political one: Blame the Administration.

1. I agree with you also

I think there's plenty of the rightwing Miers opposition which is just cynical distancing from the sinking Bush regime. They know that the key charge next year is gonna be "RUBBER STAMP," and they're trying to head it off, ass over tea-kettle, as it were.

2. saving face

but WE have to show their voting records and how their policies and bullying are harming the middle and lower classes....

we need to show Sensenbrenner turning off the mikes, Pelosi and the democrats screaming shame, shame, the CBC stepping up for the people..... this "blame game" is weak, my friends...... its time to look at records and ask for accountability.
