George & Laura stealth Democrats?

GWB went and picked ANOTHER 'stealth' candidate for the Supreme Court, Harriet Miers. For many conservatives that have doggedly, blindly supported the Republicans, and Bush in particular, this appears to be the straw that has broken the camel’s back. Mind you, this good old boy’s back was broken when Republicans didn’t follow up on their 'revolution' of 1994 and instead started acting like establishment Democrats. I've been wondering how long 'conservatives,' especially those of the evangelical stripe, would continue to back Bush (mind you, I'm an evangelical conservative myself, I just haven't sold out to the Republicans, and I take time to use my brain rather than march in lock-step, like a drone, with an establishment political party). After all, this is the guy who's never seen a spending bill he thought outrageous enough to veto. Outside of cutting taxes, everything that Bush has done while in office would have brought howls from Republicans if these same actions had been taken by Bill Clinton (or, heaven forbid, Al Gore or John Kerry). Right now, the Republicans reek of hypocrisy concerning their 'conservative' credentials... [editor's note: If the "conservatives" ever figure out that it is not about left-right ideology but about empire ... watch out! - SAT]
