MIERS FOUND CHRIST, TURNED REPUBLICAN

By 1979, Harriet Miers, then in her mid-30s, had accomplished what some people take a lifetime to achieve. She was a partner at Locke Purnell Boren Laney & Neely, one of the most prestigious law firms in the South.

But she still felt something was missing in her life.

The NEW YORK TIMES is set to splash the "something" on Page Ones on Wednesday, newsroom sources tell the DRUDGE REPORT.

It was after a series of long discussions with Nathan Hecht, a junior colleague and sweetheart, that led her to a decision that many of the people around her say changed Miers life.

"She decided that she wanted faith to be a bigger part of her life," Hecht said. "One evening she called me to her office and said she was ready to make a commitment," to accept Jesus Christ as her savior and be born again, Hecht said. Miers became an evangelical Christian and began identifying more with the Republican Party than with the Democrats who had long held sway over Texas politics. Developing...

> I'm glad we're basing support for lifetime appointments to the highest court of the land on hearsay evidence.

While I was in your camp as recently as yesterday, I have to note that the appointment is not ours to make, but the President's. And to him, the evidence is first-hand, not hearsay.

So, while there are many justifications, I agree, to have gone with a publically known quantity like Judge J.R. Brown, the real question to ask yourself is, do you trust the President's read on people? I'm willing to wait and see.

Come on. It's healthy to be skeptical about her. Personally, I'm waiting for the dust to settle before I make a decision. I like this news and her views on the 2nd Amendment. I'm worried that Bush is just picking someone from his circle too. We'll see. Interesting times.

"well, they're liberals, so they probably will!"

I really thought you were aware of the religious conservative players in politics, but your last comment convinced me you've become silly. You've backed yourself into a irrational corner and you won't come out.

I appreciate the correction. However, check out the title of this thread. Do you really think Cheney, James Dobson, etc., etc. would support a pro-abortion candidate?

No, not intentionally. But since Bush said today he did not ask her about it, how can he and they be so sure? Did Bush lie about this? Do they know something, or are they just "trusting" too with a wink and a nod? I'm amazed at some of the stuff that pops out of "Christian" mouths sometimes, and 13% of Evangelicals think ALL abortions should be legal.

The pews are full each Sunday with people who think guns are evil, the constitution is a living document, open borders are okay, abortion is a personal choice, and campaign finace reform was a great idea. They also think their taxes count towards their tithe.

I'm sorry, but "trust me" is just not good enough for me. "Wait and See" also stinks since it's too late by then. It's not just abortion. It's everything.

I didn't use it in a title. Let me give you a little lesson, flashbunny. We elect senators. We then call them Senator Cornyn, for example.

We elect presidents. Then we call them President Bush.

We don't call them bush, except you do, which displays your utter contempt for the man and you lack of knowledge about many other things.

But I repeat myself.

First, She's a James Dobson, Jay Sekulo, Chuck Colson conservative and that rules out all the worry about abortion.

Second, There is a subtle way to know another's philosophical perspective without asking "Will you vote for or against ________?"

Third, She was in charge of the supreme court vetting process. I guess you can infer nothing from that priviledge.

But Gore campaigned in Texas in 1988 as a pro-life Democrat. Also, keep in mind, that in 1988 (in the pre-internet era), it was not as easy check the various voter ratings.

I suppose he was lying then - what a shock ;-) ! But there is no reason now to perpetuate the myth that Gore was pro-life in 1988 when he was casting pro-abortion votes in the Senate from 1985 to 1988.

What do you mean he put Saddam in power?

There are TWO forces in this world. This is what I believe as a Christin.

Where we believe in God through faith Satan KNOWS there is a god and Jesus is his son. If one believes the Bible, it says the day will come when God will defeat Satan but there will be terrible times.

Most Christians talk very little about it, but the New Testament is filled with warnings to us.

If one is a non believer this makes no sense.

RECOVERING_DEMOCRAT SAYS: ME, TOO, HARRIET!! ME TOO!!

(Though I was a Christian first...it took me a while to "wake up" and discover the Democrat party of the late 20th century was NOT the Democrat party of my grandfather(s).

She found Christ in 1979, but gave to Gore & the DNC in 1988? In 1989 she expressed support for gay groups.

What year was it when she voted for a 7% hike in the sales tax?
