Too Bad
President Bush has torn the conservative coalition asunder.
By Peggy Noonan
The Wall Street Journal
What political conservatives and on-the-ground Republicans must understand at this point is that they are not breaking with the White House on immigration. They are not resisting, fighting and thereby setting down a historical marker--"At this point the break became final." That's not what's happening. What conservatives and Republicans must recognize is that the White House has broken with them. What President Bush is doing, and has been doing for some time, is sundering a great political coalition. This is sad, and it holds implications not only for one political party but for the American future.

Peggy Noonan was one of the first mainstream conservative commentators to realize that Bush was selling the Republicans down the river. Way back during the Harriet Miers fiasco, Peggy cut him loose and she has been critical of him ever since.
Too bad most of the rest of the so-called conservative punditry is still falling all over themselves to lick his boots.
