Unlike you, she has EVOLVED.

"Unlike you, she has EVOLVED."

Why the condescending tone? I had more fun working with you and other FReepers last Christmas-time when we were trying to help fix your PC. Debating, disagreement shouldn't be reduced to such nastiness, disrespect.

The problem with "she has evolved" is that there's no proof to back it up. The only thing to prove she's evolved is "trust". Trust is not enough for me.

Since she was a Catholic until the last 20 years, then why should we feel reassured that she is somehow now a known quantity who will never veer from her telepathic ability to always rule as Bush wishes her to rule? And do we really believe he is the most briliant man she has ever met? And does that explain why she's an old maid?

The question was raised this morning with the leader of the Southern Baptist convention. He mouthed some drivel about how that was a long time ago and that she was young then (only forty!) and she hadn't done a complete flip-flop recently.

It was a pretty poor defense. What little is known of her isn't that consistent. If she's so religious and evangelical and that is the main reason the WH is touting to support her, then why didn't she discover that theological fervor until age forty? And why has she not ever shown any passion for constitutional law? And would Bush know it if he saw it?

I find it interesting that Cheney once headed the selection and vetting of VP candidates. Then he became VP suddenly. Now, Miers leads the selection and vetting of SC candidates. And she becomes Bush's SC pick.

Very interesting angle. I haven't seen any reporting on this aspect yet.
