"Splitting" Of Conservatives Into Factions Is Troubling

The Anchoress looks at the divisions over the Miers nomination, using the old boxing analogy.

I think Miers is a punching bag meant to strengthen the backs and spines of the GOP, in order to get ready for a big match. I don’t think Bush, managing things from the corner, expected his trainers to take the sparring to a TKO level. If they knock her out, the GOP Senate will not have been strengthened - they will continue to cower and duck and bobble and weave - but everyone else will have been weakened; the president, the next “acceptable” nominee, the conservative pundits who have sneered at their own audience, the conservative movement as a whole…and ultimately the nation.

I heartily agree that the rumbles on the Right mirror an elitism usually reserved for the hard Left. The feelings and emotions of those upset by who was not picked and can certainly understand. But the whiny foot-stamping that clearly only helps the Democrats I cannot.

It should be interesting to look at the Sunday morning show round-up.
