Crackup, Crackdown, from a Crackpot

Rush Limbaugh:

"The Miers nomination shows the strength of the conservative movement. This is no "crackup." It's a crackdown. We conservatives are unified in our objectives. And we are organized to advance them. The purpose of the Miers debate is to ensure that we are doing the very best we can to move the nation in the right direction. And when all is said and done, we will be even stronger and more focused on our agenda and defeating those who obstruct it, just in time for 2006 and 2008."

Interesting theory Rush. Your own sides' conservatives are trashing the nominee because of her utter lack of qualifications, and all you have to say is this somehow shows the "strength of the conservative movement?" This might just be the straw that breaks the camel's back. The Republicans have been characterized by tight party discipline, but that's starting to unravel. The Republican base wants their red meat, and once again the Republican president did not deliver. Will disappointed Evangelical Republicans avoid the voting booths in 2006? It's a definite possibility.
