Dobson will explain Miers information

"Would someone please explain what he means??"

Sure, I will. A serious Christian leader knows that only God knows the heart of an individual. Dr Dobson believes Miss Miers will make a good judge but there's always a chance that he's wrong. This chance causes him some "fear and trepidation". It would be that way with any nominee.

[Graybeard58]

Because what was said in a private conversation is none of Ken Salazar's business.

[lexington minuteman 1775]

So why does it take him two days to tell us this? Unless it's to pump up the ratings of his own show?

[lexington minuteman 1775]

I figgured it out, he got the information from Judith Miller and Valerie Plame!/sarcasm on.

[jonrick46]

I am sure that Jay Sekulow would, in the course of his dealings with Miss Miers, have information he would share with
Dr. Dobson that they would never disclose publicly.

[AndyJackson]

Can we get a sworn anonymous affidavit from a Skull and Bones member? Bush must be able to produce one. I cannot understand why anyone thinks that it is ok that the best anyone can say for Miers is that she is well known among what seems to pass for a secret society. She knows the handshake. SHEESSS!!!

[Gondring]

I still can't believe he said it in the first place. What was he thinking?

Think?

[solitas]

Members of the Senate Judiciary Committee have said they might call Dobson to testify at Miers' upcoming confirmation hearings because of his statements implying he has confidential information about the nominee.

Last week, Dobson told listeners to his Christian-oriented radio program: "When you know some of the things I know — that I probably shouldn't know — that take me in this direction, you'll know why I've said with fear and trepidation (that) I believe Harriet Miers will be a good justice."

Dobson said he spoke to President Bush's lead political adviser, Karl Rove, prior to the Miers nomination, although he has not said what they discussed.

Okay then: if not "talking out…etc." then about about "thunderingly boneheaded" for saying what he did (even on his own show) just to seemingly try to be one-up on everyone else by implying that he had confidential information?

He ADMITS to speaking with WH personnel AND implies that he knows things that he "probably shouldn't know" and now will be 'explaining' his statement?

DumbDumbDumbDumbDumb.

[Do not dub me shapka broham]

Neither can I.

Certainly not on a family-friendly forum.

:-)

[k2blader]

If that's the case, why say it at all?

Or does he imagine he's being some kind of a prophet?

[yldstrk]

Just like Roberts, she'll be fine. It's the loudmouths and idiots whose views on every political subject are known. People of judicial temperament are NOT politicians, so they don't have loudmouth tendencies.

[KingKongCobra]

Huh??

I'm sorry. I thought you had asked a serious question so I gave a serious reply.

[Sun]

"When you know some of the things I know — that I probably shouldn't know — that take me in this direction, you'll know why I've said with fear and trepidation (that) I believe Harriet Miers will be a good justice."

What does Dobson mean by "fear and trepidation?"

[Ken H]

"When you know some of the things I know — that I probably shouldn't know —"

Rather than saying that, he might have been better off knocking down a hornet's nest.

[Gondring]

It's still a slap to conservatives, to make such a weak move that has emboldened the left so much.

[Capriole]

why is that [Meiers's private spiritual life] something he shouldn't know? All the sudden, peolle should be hiding their relationship with the Lord? Is that how Dobson operates?

Don't know about you, but there is only one person on earth, my pastor, who knows the details of my inner life with the Lord and I sure wouldn't want the most intimate pains, fears, weaknesses, shadows, and sins known to anyone but Jesus. Yes, it's private.

I'll tell you what happened. Someone asked him to say something, he wen't overboard, and now he is busted.

I think your explanation is a real possibility. I hope you're wrong.

She reportedly told Leahy: "I will be my own person. I will be independent. Nobody has the authority or right or ability to tell how I'm going to vote."

Nobocy has the ability to tell how she's going to vote---vote?---including George W. Bush?

[notigar]

well if it would make dobson want people to want her for the court, and its important, shouldn't we know about it? Why bring it up then?

[notigar]

so why telll dobson about it if its a secret?
