This TNR article investigates the division among conservatives because of Miers and Bush's liberal spending ways. He hits the nail on the head here:
In other words, the real split over Miers is between conservatives who worship Bush and those who worship conservatism. One camp believes in the infallibility of the president. The other camp believes the evidence before them.
I've experienced both kinds and I'll take the latter. I'd much rather deal with a thinkin' man than a cult captive. These people that refuse to criticize the president for anything have taken leave of their senses. What's in it for them? Is it just easier? Is it because carrying water for Bush just requires no intellectual rigor? Being in Texas you meet a lot of people that love Bush just 'cuz and any attempt at critical thinking is slander. I understand a lot of people choose not to think and resign themselves to herd politics. But thinking people...real thinking people...are part of the cult. I don't get it.
Just about everything Bush has ever touched has turned to shit and these people can't see it. They've drunk the Kool-Aid.
