Baloney. Back that up with something more than a campaign contribution. Back up the radical part.

Those who donate during the final push are the hardcore partisans. Miers contributed to the DNC five days before the 1988 Presidential election.

I guess some can ignore this problem because Dukakis lost. Had Dukakis won it I'm sure that this woman would have the same chance as becoming a Republican nominee for SCOTUS as a lawyer who contributed to the DNC five days before the 92 Presidential election.

She voted for Bush after she donated to Gore. By the way Gore was pro-life then.

You know nothing of the Texas political situation in 1988, apparently. The Republican Party barely existed. Everyone who was anyone was a Democrat. There was a split in the wings of the Democrat Party bigtime, but if you wanted to be at ALL relevant, you were a Democrat.

Almost none of those conservative Texas Democrats remain in the party. She was part of the party that exists no more. A Zell Miller Democrat, only Zell was unwilling to shed his party label.

A radical Democrat is a horrible mischaracterization.

Guess she's "experienced" in knowing the enemy. Churchill was like that, too. No, I do not wish to liken the office to which she has been nominated to that of Winston Churchill. Most people undergo philosophical sea change in life. Methinks Miers has had enough of that.
