Shocking Nominations and Other Mischief
Ed Gillespie hangin' at the White House may explain Meirs nod
author Craig Nelsen


In the uproar attending the nomination of Bush supporter Harriet Miers to the Supreme Court, the cries of betrayal from shocked and dismayed Bush supporters are themselves the only genuinely surprising aspect of the Miers nomination.

It's shocking, really, that after five years of one betrayal after another, the GOP faithful can still be shocked by the venality, irresponsibility, and reckless bad faith of George W. Bush and the corporate mandarins destroying their party right under their noses.

Surely Republican voters remember, for example, the Bush-Kerry debate in Tempe, Arizona during which George Bush said, "And here is where my opponent and I differ. In September 2003, he supported amnesty for illegal aliens."

Isn't it a betrayal of the first magnitude that the same George Bush is pressing Congress this month to pass a massive new guest worker amnesty? [See: Bush Betrays Conservatives Already, VDARE, November 11, 2004]

Isn't it a betrayal of the Republican rank-and-fileâ€â€
