Since she was once a DEMOCRAT (And according to HER, supported Al Gore for Prez) who morphed into a neo-con, and she was once a Catholic, but changed herself into an Evangelical... but according to Gdubbubya, "isn't ever going to change" because HE "knows what's in her heart"...
Reagan was once a democrat so were a number of other people. It means nothing other than those people have an open mind and saw the error of their ways. Where do you get the idea she supported Gore? I heard that and I heard that it was not true.
If I were a conservative, I would NOT be impressed by this obvious HUGE-LEAP-FORWARD for cronyism, and personal lack of insight and forethought, by none other than Gdubbubya himself.
Do you think this opinion will be taken seriously? I mean when it comes to GW it is obvious that you are seriously unbalanced.
It's pretty fucking obvious that MOST of the neo-con gas-bags/icons of morality and values, are NOT happy about this choice for the SC.
they are unhappy because they wanted a known quantity. It remains to be seen whether she will ultimately get their approval.
And, even GDUBBUBYA HIMSELF said Bennett was OUT OF LINE ... yet Jethro, and a few other not-so-intelligent-dickwads are going to stick up for the man and his obviously racist commentary.
More proof that you are an extreme radical, fold. You are out of touch with decency and honesty.
Among Democrats, 76 percent think the term "strong leader" applies to Clinton, 60 percent to Kerry and 45 percent to Gore. Just over half of Democrats think the trait is true for McCain (52 percent) and Giuliani (51 percent), while fewer than one in five think so for Bush (16 percent).Â
Democrats are way out of touch. I mean Bush has accomplished a lot of what he wants because he is a strong leader. You can disagree with what he did but any nitwit should be able to see he is a strong leader.
The very fact that Harriet Miers is a member of an evangelical church suggests that she is not dying to be accepted by the beautiful people, and is unlikely to sell out the Constitution of the United States in order to be the toast of Georgetown cocktail parties or praised in the New York Times. Considering some of the turkeys that Republicans have put on the Supreme Court in the past, she could be a big improvement.
But there were differences too. David Souter, a furious collector of rare books, had the typical Ivy League pedigree thought by some necessary for entrance to the hallowed halls of the Supreme Court. Harriet Miers graduated from a law school in Texas, Southern Methodist University and developed a proficiency with firearms. Also unlike Harriet Miers, Judge Souter didn’t know the President. In fact they were only introduced a few days before the nomination. President Bush has had twelve years to become intimately familiar with his nominee’s personal views. Â
"Of all the words written about Harriet Miers, none are more disturbing than the ones she wrote herself. In the early 90's, while she was president of the Texas bar association, Miers wrote a column called "President's Opinion" for The Texas Bar Journal. It is the largest body of public writing we have from her, and sad to say, the quality of thought and writing doesn't even rise to the level of pedestrian."
WASHINGTON -- Senate confirmation of President Bush's choice to be U.S. ambassador to the European Union has been delayed for several weeks, and the nominee may not take his post until well into November. Bush's choice as U.S. ambassador to the United Nations is serving under a recess appointment and may never be confirmed. The reason: the individual whims of two Republican senators.
I guess you didn't read my link. I clicked on it. But it wanted me to sign up and it looked as if it were a pay site now. So I did not investigate further. Â
I don't think liberals generally use such tactics on other liberals. Well maybe not. but they don't treat each other very well. Remember TAPA?
What's that quaint phrase about ignorance of the law? Especially in what the Bush administration keeps telling us is "a time of war," you don't go around outing people who work for the CIA without checking into whether it might compromise national security.

You read only what you want to, don't you twerp?
Regardless of what one thinks about the merits of her nomination to the Supreme Court, it is obvious today that Harriet Miers isn't part of Washington's in crowd. But even given Washington's penchant for being fickle, sometimes the politics of personal destruction can be a bit much to take. And maybe when she joins the Supreme Court and demonstrates her mastery of conservative jurisprudence the cool kids in Washington will give her another chance. Then again maybe not. In any event, it doesn't seem to faze Harriet Miers. In fact, her dogged determination is one of the qualities President Bush must have identified when he once referred to her as a "pit bull in size 6 shoes?"
The investigation has, by most reports, gone well beyond the narrow scope of whether or not the IIIS was violated. And most people have concluded, it appears, that no crime was committed. If no crime was committed it seems unlikely that there would or should be a charge of obstruction of justice. Moreoever, if no crime was committed I find it hard to see a situation where somebody lied about a material fact. And before you say anything about Clinton, let me point out I am not aware of any pending civil suits.
 The cultural left has a new tool for enforcing political conformity in schools of education. It is called dispositions theory, and it was set forth five years ago by the National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education: Future teachers should be judged by their "knowledge, skills, and dispositions." What are "dispositions"? NCATE's prose made clear that they are the beliefs and attitudes that guide a teacher toward a moral stance. That sounds harmless enough, but it opened a door to reject teaching candidates on the basis of thoughts and beliefs.
What a coincidence! I was asked about that very topic on how teachers should be paid/laid off last night at the public forum by the league of women voters. Another hot bed topic asked was what are position was in regards to intelligent design. Lots of very tough questions were asked. No matter how the results of the election turn out, I can definitely say I learned something from this experience.

Signed in Campaign Finance Reform.
Worked with Democrats on a fully-funded federal education program.
Signed a Medicare Prescription Drug Program into law.
None of which conservatives like.
They like his tax cuts, tort reform and Afghanistan.

you don't get much from bar journals. it is especially true of messages written from the bar president.

So what's your point?
her bar article shouldn't be taken used to criticize miers
Tell that to the conservatives who want to take her down. They're getting nasty and relentless.

Both Mrs. Schiavo and that horse are dead, jethro. Let them rest in peace.
they can rest in peace but people that supported her murder, like you, should not be allowed any peace.

It's that thing that in a nominee for the federal bench they call "judicial temperament."
Which you'd have no problem with if it was applied to "liberal" beliefs.
