Harriet Miers the pick AP

[safisoft]

I would hardly call the complete trashing of the president and this nominee in less than an hour by many on this board, as being "patient".

Sorry, some of us have been here a lot longer than you.

Some of us have been voting, donating, supporting Republicans for a long, long time - all with the hope that they will finally deliver what they promise. The fact is, their excuses of "not being a majority" and hence the lack of conservative results - is now officially debunked.

By "patience" I did not mean in the teen-age, "I waited for a whole hour for you to pick me up" vein. I meant patient since Goldwater. How long have you been at it?

Maybe they both know she's a sacrificial lamb and if she's shot down the Prez will come back with a real hot conservative next time.....and double dare the Dems to shoot down a second nominee in a row.

Think about it.

This is not a legal resume, but a PR release. I just do not know enough about the woman to know if this is a good choice.

Same here...we better catch up on our homework!

(I have seen a more flattering picture of her, though...LOL! I should get extra credit for that, at least.)

[Howlin]

I hope you're not addressing that to me. :-)

[AD from SpringBay]

You know what would be "funny"? Not funny ha ha but funny - sigh of relief - what if the President knows he has another nominee coming up in a month or so? I'm completely guessing so take this with a bag of rock salt (but then again a lot of others are guessing today as well).

Bush promised a Scalia/Thomas. If he had said that he would appoint someone "that Harry Reid likes" he would have lost the election.

How can they not know, that this choice was going to P-off "their" base?

[RockinRight]

Has BUSH HIMSELF actually said this or is it still media buzz??

Not that I'd put it past him but I want to know whether to be mad or not.

And Al Gore was pro-life at the time.

Not sure when she clerked but regardless it was for pro-abort Sarah Hughes whenever it was.

If a past contribution to a dem candidate or the DNC means you are forever "liberal".....then does it follow that we should ban & denigrate the hundreds of freepers who voted once for Jimmy Carter even though they now see what a mistake it was?

Please calm down and read my posts. I said none of the things you say above. I simply posted the item and asked if this was the same person. See posts 517 and 678.

If it is the same person, then yes it does bother me. But is does not bother me near as much as the fact Bush passed over Luttig. There were far better candidates in my opinion - which is worth less than $.02.

Will I leave the Pubs? NO. Do I still support the President? YES. Will I vote for Hillary? HELL NO. Am I disappointed? Yes.

It's so easy to judge when you don't have a dog in the fight...

I know and if they succeed in handing the 06 and 08 elections to the democrats, whats going to happen to our sons? It frightens me.

[TTRR]

seems like trolls are amung us.

Bush announced her. And when she voted for Gore he was pro-life.

[HonorInPa]

Being here longer doesn't make your position any more correct.

[Romish_Papist]

She's pro-abort. I'll be surprised if the Dems don't throw rose petals at her feet when she walks into her confirmation hearings. Scalia/Thomas mold my a$$...

[NeoCaveman]

She states that she is a strict Constitutionalist. President Bush has steadfastly maintained that is what he is looking for in his nominees.

Justice Warren claimed all hid life to be a strict constructionist. I am underwhelmed.

Look, she could be Alan Keyes, Pat Buchanan, Jack Kemp, Phyllis Schlafley, Steve Forbes and Don Rumsfeld all wrapped into one but that doesn't matter.

She isn't anywhere as qualified as many people who were passed over and actually have paper trails. When it was time for a fight, brave sir Robin ran away, quote Monty Python.

W just mentioned her work with Exodus International

I'm pretty sure W said "Exodus Ministries", not "Exodus International". Big difference.

[hummingbird]

Good point, Blogger.

[floriduh voter]

Assisted suicide is on the docket this week. If she's for assisted suicide anywhere in the U.S. for that matter, that's all you need to know.

State's rights should not trump Civil Rights under the U.S. Constitution.

By the way, in Riviera Beach, Florida, there is an eminent domain test going on. People are being pushed out of their homes.

FV says: Disabled rights and eminent domain inalienable rights are hot button issues of the day. just my opinion

[Blogger]

How do you know this?????? I've also heard it said she is pro-life. What is your source?
