Gee. I am amazed at the number of people on Free Republic who know Miers better than President George Bush does. Impressive. President Bush would save allot of time and money if he registered here and just got the opinion of a few fine folks on here how to run a Country.
With the all-wise, all-seeing idiots who jerk their knees because things don't go as they want them to and making the comments that they are, they only have themselves to blame after the votes are counted next election. No republican will be President - no Republican would WANT to be President - with a bunch of wussies for their base. They want it handed to them on a silver platter.
President Bush: wise decision, good choice.
I'm amazed that a monkey could have thrown a dart at a list of seven or eight known originalists and come up with a better pick than this.
Regarding your post #2657...I agree with you...I trust the judgement of Pres. Bush, much more than I trust the judgement of the people on this thread, who are in the midst of wild hysterics....there are so many who think they are oh so smart, oh so brilliant, that they could certainly run this country better than Pres. Bush...
The absolute lamest remarks I have heard is people raggin on Miers because she is not married, because she does not have children...good grief...since when does being married and having children make an acceptable nominee?...I am really at a loss on this one...and to somehow insinuate that Miers is a lesbian, is really ridiculous...people will and do say the stupidest, lamest things....Does it never enter some folks minds, that perhaps Miers did not want to get married, deciding to focus solely on her career?...Or that perhaps she never fell in love(or are ALL women supposed to get married even if not in love, just to satisfy someone elses deluded notion of what ALL women should want from life?)....For some women, getting married and having children is not the be all and end all of life...
If she was married, and had several children, these same whiners, would be saying she was a bad mother, ,because of course, she had a career...oh the horror of a wife and mother having a career...we see enough of that lame nonsense on FR...
Give Miers a chance...sure we dont know a lot about her...but I take it that Pres. Bush does know a lot about her, certainly much more than the so called judicial, political, legal etc 'experts', who come down to FR from on high, ,to enlighten us mere mortals with their 'expertise'...lets try to learn a more about Miers, give it some time and patience and some good research(not a lot of silly gossip, innuendo, and rumor)....
Thats just my take on it...
By the way, love, your pics on your homepage..I live in Olympia Washington, but often go down to Northern California via I5, and return home via RT 101....and visit Seattle to visit my son...so the the pics you have posted have shown some of my favorite places to see along the way...
