Supreme Court nominee Harriet Miers is largely viewed as a staunch Bush supporter and Republican insider, but in the not too distant past she was a financial backer of Al Gore and the Democrats, NewsMax has learned.
In 1987 Miers gave $1,000 to the primary campaign of Democratic Sen. Lloyd Bentsen, a fellow Texan who also ran with Michael Dukakis on his party’s ticket against Bush’s father in 1988.
During that presidential campaign, Miers contributed $1,000 to the Albert Gore for President Committee, as well as $1,000 to the Democratic National Committee. Gore lost the Democratic primaries to Dukakis.

Yes, we've been talking about it all day...
Sorry, your all day is my all night...
She gave to Gore in 1988 when he was a conservative pro life candidate. It's a fact. Look it up. Texas at the time had conservative Democrats and Liberal Democrats.
She gave to Gore through her Law Firm which gave in mass to the candidate through a business function. Still counts, I know, but it is a practice done at law firms often.
She also gave to Texans for Life in 1988. Does this count?
..but the SEARCH function on FR is 365/24/7.
Put the stake, rope, and matches away for now.
In recent years Miers has given only to Republicans. She has backed Republican Pete Sessions, the Congressman from Dallas and one of the House’s most noted conservatives.
She has also supported George W. Bush. She gave $1,000 to the George Bush campaign in 1999, and $2,000 to the Bush-Cheney campaign in 2003. She also contributed $5,000 to the Bush-Cheney Inc. Recount Fund in 2000.
Here’s a run down of recent political contributions Miers has made:
Yes, I reckon it surely does.
I'm just a bit toey about it given the importance of this nomination.
Aw, give him/her a break! There are at least a half-dozen threads, a thousand or so posts each it seems, and that stuff gets buried. A sane person can't noodle that out in a quick morning read....or even a long one. I try here in the U S of A, and it's tough. The bathwater gets all cold and stuff....
What if it's a leap year?
We're all in a bit of a strop over it, so just hang with us....
come back in 4 years.
Thanks for your support. I'm only on my first cuppa down here...I'll wake up soon!
In leap years, the politicians really freak out with the purse...even more than now!
We ALL make mistakes. It could be worse: you could have voted for Slick Willy (or Kerry, or Kennedy, or Mondale etc, etc.
