Yes, conservatives like(but not limited to) Pat Buchanan, George Will, Charles Krauthammer and on and on who apparently don't support the nomination of Harriet Miers - those who championed Bushs's nominations of Janice Rogers Brown and Priscilla Owen, and who certainly would have supported the nomination of a woman who had a RECORD(emphasis only) as being a strict constructiuonist/originalist, have to be sexist! That has to be it?! LOL. /End sarcasm.

"I think people are not looking at her accomplishments. They're not realizing that she was the first elected woman to be the head of the Texas Bar Association, for instance. And all the other things. She was the first woman managing partner of a major law firm. She was the first woman hired by her law firm." I think it would be SEXIST to nominate her on these qualifications being her biggest accomplishments.

Yes, those who championed the nominations of Janice Rogers Brown, and Priscilla Owen to the Appellate Courts just have to be sexist now in this case.
Please.
To: Laissez-faire capitalist
Oh Bull.
I'm a woman who just turned down a Board of Directors position, and a new job because I like playing after making it.
I believe I am fully qualified to critique this woman. Raising the "sexist" flag is as bad as the "racist" flag run up with regularity at any and all criticism.
I find it highly suspect to nominate this woman in place of other more highly qualified conservative jurists.
Give me a break.

I don't understand the White House for the past week or so. Especially the First Lady's comments and the comments by the spokesman last week that got the ball rolling with the "elitist" tag.
On a personal level, I wrote some thoughts out on the Saturday before the stunning announcement..nothing special:

Not exactly a sexist arguement.
To: Laissez-faire capitalist
So, the MSM asks a leading question (when did you stop beating W, Mrs. Bush?), and we're surprised when she says "that's possible"???? In some cases, it may is possible. After all, Ms. Miers will need a gut of steel to withstand the slings and arrows about her looks, her age, her bra size, her hair, makeup, etc.
To: Laissez-faire capitalist
She didnt say they were, she said it was possible, a little bit of difference there and a misleading title there.

But that one is not Newsmax.
One can post the same topic again, as long as it is from a different source.
To: aft_lizard
True, it is somewhat misleading. Laura Bush should never have eevn bothered to answer Matt's question. As was stated previously, it was a leading question, not worthy of comment. But she did respond, and no proof to back up what she thought was apparently a possibility.
To even think that conservatives all across America who supported the nomination of women like Janice Rogers Brown and Priscalla Owen might now be sexist is ludicrous.
To: Laissez-faire capitalist
It's almost as if they're trying to make Hillary the next President.

My opinion of her is dropping precipitously.
Playing the ol' gender card.
What a nation victims we've all become.

Unbelievable. The woman says it's possible some of the criticism is sexist and the knee-jerk FReepers take it as if she said it was definite and truly believed it. Sad, really. Do you folks really believe that it is outside the realm of possibility that some of Miers criticism is sexist? Laura answering a definite "No" would have been just as wrong as a definite "Yes". She just said it was "possible". Jeez people, quit obsessing and find a hobby.

And just so what if some of them are sexist??? Is there a law against that? Are we now picking up the Politically Correct flag of the left? Are we to stifle free speech because what they believe is unpopular?
Mrs. Bush, over here on the conservative side we are free to be racist homophobes sexist troglodytes if we so choose. Or are you and your husband so far removed from us now that you cannot remember?

Look at post #13.
As it says there: playing the gender card.
To: Laissez-faire capitalist
Newsmax is a joke. It consistently misrepresents its articles with misleading headlines.
Mrs. Bush didn't say Miers' critics were sexist. She said sexism was a possible explanation for the attacks.
Does anyone see the difference?
