RINO Strongarming?
Here, John Hinderaker speculates that the Miers pick is really a result of strongarming by liberal Republican senators. If that's the case, no doubt that information will somehow "slip out" pretty soon, at least if the volume and heat of some conservative opposition continues unabated. The White House certainly isn't masochistic enough to risk the support of its most loyal adherents simply in order to take heat for disloyalty on the part of Specter and the other RINO's.

Carol Carol Carol --
If the White House tries to put blame on RINOs like Specter, others for their pick, that makes the White House look weaker, not stronger, because now they leave the message that they can be strong-armed.
We have had it drilled into our heads for years -- rightly -- by the GOP (Hannity comes to mind) that people have to be accountable and take responsibility for their own actions.
A key difference between the GOP and the Democrats, we are told (and shown) almost daily, is that Edwards and Sharpton and the like blame other people for the actions of wrongdoers, where the GOP just blames the wrongdoers.
Miers was Bush's action (if not wrongdoing yet). She is not Specter's nomination. She is Bush's. If anyone in the White House, quietly or not, tries to shift the heat to RINOs as to why Miers was nominated, what I take from it is that the president can be strong-armed.
I sorely hope that this is just a rumor that fades away.
Carol, are you really claiming that the Bush White House is afraid of the likes of Arlen Specter, Olympia Snowe, and Lincoln Chafee?
Hahahahahahahahahahahaha.
Seriously, you can't name even one important issue where Specter, Snowe, and Chafee voted against the party-line.
