Well, Miss Miers also gave money to the DNC during the fall Dukakis-Bentsen campaign. It was too late to give directly to Dukakis by that time. She must have not yet met the Bush family. And, yes, Olympia Dukakis is a very talented actress.

Actually, is it really possible to be a liberal on "social" issue but not on "economic" issues? Why? The social issues are very costly and affect the economy. LBJ started a $5 trillion expenditure to fight poverty. The program was expanded by Nixon, and still went on under Bill Clinton and now GWB too.

Actually when he said social issues I think he was talking about abortion, gay rights, gun rights and similar issues. Spending on programs to fight poverty would predominantly be an economic issue.

A hearing is irrelevant to discussing whether something is stupid or not.

"Social" issues also have inherent costs in addition to the expenditure of overt government funds. Really, one is either conservative or not: how can he split the difference. King Solomon refuted that concept.

do you take one mans word to determine someones character/ especially in the face of such importance/

From Federalist #76...

Those who have themselves reflected upon the subject, or who have attended to the observations made in other parts of these papers, in relation to the appointment of the President, will, I presume, agree to the position, that there would always be great probability of having the place supplied by a man of abilities, at least respectable. Premising this, I proceed to lay it down as a rule, that one man of discernment is better fitted to analyze and estimate the peculiar qualities adapted to particular offices, than a body of men of equal or perhaps even of superior discernment.

what would you have us far-right do?

Stop demanding her resignation and let her have her hearing.

The issue is: does she have enough votes to prevail? I don't
think so. Also, it's possible that those choices I mentioned
refused the job.

I'm still half hoping that i'm asleep and the Miers nomination is nothing more than a bad dream. Lets hope I wake up to find a press conference on TV where Bush is nominating a well qualified conservative for the Supreme Court.

"you should be on the side of limitation on judicial activism."

I am.

"Now do you honestly think if these social questions were left to the people that Gay marriage couldve happened?"

No.

"nor that a 8 month old fetus could be aborted?"

No.

Farah's facts are suspect. See http://www.committeeforjustice.org/cgi-data/press/files/34.shtml

It is up to the Judiciary Committee to decide on the facts as to the merits of this nomination. They will do so. Then the entire Senate will vote according to the facts and their judgment. That is the way we decide things. Not by pundit fiat but by the prescribed Constitutional remedy.

Ah, a website that proves your case, eh? :-)

Let's see.... who is responsible for that website... Becki Donatelli... and what do we know about Becki...

HOCKADAY-DONATELLI

And what do we know about HOCKADAY-DONATELLI

http://64.233.161.104/search?q=cache:BNyVJ35ZJLAJ:www.publicintegrity.org/527/search.aspx%3Fact%3Dcom%26orgid%3D18%26comid%3D681c+HOCKADAY-DONATELLI&hl=en

Donors to a 527 called "The Wish List"

And what is "The Wish List"?

http://www.thewishlist.org/

Ah, Pro-choice "republician" women... any bells going off yet for all of you single-issue abortion voters who are supporting Miers??

Their money trail:

http://www.publicintegrity.org/527/profile.aspx?act=dir⊂=1&cycle=2002&id=574

Ah, the Donatelli Group appears again... full circle.

Buying Time LLC

Another Pro-choice group..

American Viewpoint

http://www.amview.com/amview_contents/stories/political.shtml

Pro-choice and log-cabin republicans.

California Republican Party

Is that an oxymoron?

Citizens for Corrine Wood

http://www.familyresiliency.uiuc.edu/events/corinne_wood.html

Friends of Barhara Hafer

http://www.runbarbararun.com/

The New Majority Committee

http://64.233.161.104/search?q=cache:U2BfO-sEg7kJ:www.ocregister.com/ocr/2004/12/25/sections/local/local/article_356383.php+%22The+New+Majority+Committee%22&hl=en

Pro-abortion, pro-gun-control, pro-minority...

Get the picture yet?

Now why would Becki, who certainly looks pro-abortion to me, be running a website for a stealth SCOTUS nominee who is going to repeal Roe v. Wade?

Doesn't that seem more than a bit odd to you?

Some of you people really need to lay off the koolaid...

Thank you for the Myth / Truth piece. While I've defended (if not encouraged) the right to discuss the nomination and warned against accepting the nomination for purely political / gamesmanship reasons, I am very open to seeing the facts and drawing conclusions from them.

This comforts me some.

Funny thing about webpages, they're often more than a bit misleading...

You might want to take a look at who is responsible for the page and where they've been spending their money etc. before you start taking a lot of "comfort" from it.

So true and your post above illustrates the point wonderfully. Lying asnd obfuscation knows no political bounds. Very sad.

How is Donatelli responsible for the CFJ website? I haven't found her name amongst the members yet.

I briefly looked at the site, did some reading (including the WSJ article they have posted) and looked at the principles. Help me out here. What do you see that is damning, as your message implied?
