Harriet Miers

[sleepyjeff]

She seems to have one foot planted firmly on each side of an issue.......I wonder if Kerry would have nominated her

Basically, I guess she believes everyone should be treated equally in Prison.

Now there is something I never understood. Send gays to prison for having gay sex. Prison will fix them, everyone knows gay sex NEVER happens there.....lol.

I'm not sure. Kerry's not president. Nor is Clinton any more.

But Bush is:

"We found the weapons of mass destruction. We found biological laboratories."(May 29, 2003)

"I recognize we didn't find the stockpiles [of weapons] we all thought were there." (Sept. 9, 2004)
President Bush

-----------

"You can't distinguish between al Qaeda and Saddam when you talk about the war on terror... they're both equally as bad, and equally as evil, and equally as destructive." (Sept, 2002)

“We've had no evidence that Saddam Hussein was involved with September 11th." (Sept, 2004)

-----------

On the 9/11 Commission he later authorized:

“Since it deals with such sensitive information, in my judgment, it's best for the ongoing war against terror that the investigation be done in the intelligence committee.” (May, 2002)

-----------

Same-sex marriage:

First he says it should be up to the individual states. Then he wants a Constitutional Amendment.

------------

Then there's what he said about the free trade issue, formation of the Dept of Homeland Security, nation building... yaddah yaddah yaddah

Hey sleepy - remember, it's not OK to make jokes about things in the past regarding democrats. I've been chastized about that before, too.

---C'mon, can't I even slam Bush without being accused of "bringing up Clinton?"

Oh, I forgot:

Life on Earth began;

6 Billion years ago according to Evolutionist;

6000 Years ago according to Creationist;

5 years ago according to Bush critics

On the surface these two look like contradictons but when put in context they really are not.

Bush’s Circular Logic on Miers --

During an interview this morning on “The Today Show,” President Bush touted Harriet Miers’ credentials:

"I would remind those, one, that Harriet is an extraordinarily accomplished woman who’s done a lot. As a matter of fact, she’s consistently ranked as one of the top 50 women lawyers in the United States."

Actually, The National Law Journal ranked Miers among “The Fifty Most Influential Women Lawyers.” The specific designation is significant, because National Law Journal selected her as one of the “most influential” because of Miers’ close, personal relationship with Bush. From the National Law Journal: Miers is #48

WASHINGTON (AP) -- President Bush said Wednesday his advisers were telling conservatives about Supreme Court nominee Harriet Miers' religious beliefs because they are interested in her background and "part of Harriet Miers' life is her religion."

"People are interested to know why I picked Harriet Miers," Bush told reporters at the White House. "They want to know Harriet Miers' background. They want to know as much as they possibly can before they form opinions. And part of Harriet Miers' life is her religion."

He spoke on a day in which conservative James Dobson, founder of Focus on Family, said he had discussed the nominee's religious views with presidential aide Karl Rove. He was told a main reason Miers was chosen over other canidates was that the President was sure of "Miers personal walk with Jesus."

So, Bush is trying to Put Jesus in the Bench?....
