Conservatives 'Betrayed' By Bush with Miers Pick

Many conservatives feel "betrayed” by President Bush’s nomination of Harriet Miers to the Supreme Court, feeling he backed away from his vow to appoint a known strict constructionist, according to conservative icon Richard Viguerie and others.

"Congratulations are due to Ralph Neas, Nan Aron and Chuck Schumer for going toe-to-toe with President Bush and forcing him to blink,” Viguerie writes in a press release.

"Liberals have successfully cowed President Bush by scaring him off from nominating a known conservative, strict constructionist to the Court, leaving conservatives fearful of which direction the Court will go.”

Bush "desperately needed” to have an ideological fight with liberals to re-energize his political base, which is in shock and dismay over his big government policies, says Viguerie, a consultant and direct-mail specialist who helped elect Ronald Reagan in 1980.


"With their lack of strong, identifiable records, President Bush’s Supreme Court nominees seem designed more to avoid a fight with the extreme Left than to appeal to his conservative base.”

Viguerie concludes that Bush "appears willing to lose all credibility with conservative voters by failing to fulfill his campaign vow to nominate an openly Scalia- or Thomas-like justice.”

Once again Newsmax has a great article, why don't they get any press? Oh yea, I forgot that the media is filled with a bunch of jack-off liberals...
