Reply #18: "They" = fed up republicans. [View All]

Those who are fed up with Bush's failures, but have been on his side because they don't want to admit they were wrong. The followers of this admin that see all the failures, but lie to themselves every time to keep following Bush.

I think these same people, the ones in denial, are picking something they can call "not conservative enough" (even though she is "on the extream side of the pro-life movement").

It is an opportunity to save face and deny that they were ever wrong.

By doing this they don't have to "convert". That is the point. By giving up on Bush over a "not conservative enough" SC nomination, they can stay with their failed policies and say they were never wrong, just Bush was wrong.
