Pissing on those people is the best thing for the country. The Jesus Nazis and the Shrill Left have to get slapped down and told to shut the fuck up. The Left and its Michael Moore wing got their asses handed to them in 2004. Now its the Right's turn. Both poles have to be taught that the Country will not tolerate tyranny by a vehement minority. Bush wisely chose to shut down the Right here and now, rather than allow their idiocy to lead to a huge pendulum shift next election.
Don't you understand the wisdom of being centrist? Its the radical shifts which hurt people. Bush is blunting a massive shift in 2008. He's saving everyone from the Dems electing a big govt liberal who will ruin our future.
Now, if he could only figure out how to undo his own huge govt, he'd really redeem himself. Otherwise, the next president - hopefully a centrist from either party - will spend his first term dismantling George Bush's Great Society.
The poles need to be shut down because they distract us from the true battle. The battle is everyone versus the political class. We need to carve govt down to nothing but essential services and wipe out the bloated inefficient complexes that feed off it and within it. The people who want smaller govt on both sides of the aisle need to get together and stop being split by idiots who think an inconsequential and minor issue like abortion should drive the national political debate.
Miers is a centrist pick - confirm her.

dissent. The far right will sit out or vote for Gary Bauer. The problem with you pragmatic moral relativists is you have no guiding principles and thus you can't understand how people with principle act. I voted for Perot in 92 on principle. Bush lied about tax increases. I voted against him knowing full well that this was part of trend that would put Clinton in office. the far right have far more principle than I do. If it was as easy as they have no one else to vote for, the party would not have had to pander to them for the last 25 years. Bush increased the dependency on these voting bloc and now has fucked the party. You win. You should be happy.
