I suggest you look up the definition of that word.

Supreme Court nominee Harriet Miers, accompanied by her brother and other members of her family, attended services at an Episcopal church near downtown Dallas on Sunday.
Miers smiled at reporters but did not stop to answer questions as she entered the Church of the Incarnation, which Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison, R-Texas, and other well-known state politicians attend.
When asked by a reporter if she was surprised by the conservative reaction to her nomination, Miers replied, "Nice to see you."
...For years, Miers was a member of Valley View Christian Church in Dallas, but she and about 150 of its 1,200 active members have left the church to form a separate congregation, according to Texas Supreme Court Justice Nathan Hecht. A friend of Miers, Hecht also is part of the breakaway group.
Valley View is part of a movement known as Christian Churches and Churches of Christ....As a child, Miers attended Roman Catholic and Protestant churches. In 1979, she was baptized at Valley View, and she later taught Sunday school classes there.

Now you are engaging in classic projection.
How much are coulter/levin paying you?
Principle before party?!! Are you crazy, man?
Great cartoon! I was thinking of trial by fire scenario yesterday. "If the flames don't consume her she is a witch!"
Another scene that comes to mind is on the golf course in Falling Down: "You! You're not a member! Go around! Go around!"
Your experience is not all encompassing.
There are conservative Episcopal churches that are continuing the work of the Gospel and will tell you vehemently that neither Bishop Spong nor Bishop Robinson speak for them. Granted these churches whether evangelical or anglo-catholic are fighting an up-hill battle but they are fighting.
Dallas is very conservative diocese that is leading the fight.
My friend who lives in Dallas just got confirmed at an Episcopalian church (she is a new convert). She said her pastor is VERY conservative, and disagrees profoundly with the decision to have that homo guy become a bishop.

Exactly right - These anti-Mires people continue to look completely foolish - They will have been on the wrong side of history (just as DEM's of today are on the wrong side of history concerning Iraq).

I'm surprised some cartoonist hasn't read the spewing and rabid ranting against Miers on FR and done the trial by fire scene.
There's always someone on freerepublic that can put into words what I think...and this time it's an engineer?!
If I understand this correctly... the Episcopal is now under the Catholic church. The difference being an Episcopal can marry whereas Catholic priests cannot.
Nah ... she never flip-flops ... LOL!
Who knows what she'll do when she gets in there. She's as stable as jello.
Don't think so ... .
DALLAS — Supreme Court nominee Harriet Miers, accompanied by her brother and other members of her family, attended a service at an Episcopal church near downtown Dallas today before she joined members of a breakaway evangelical group....After the hourlong traditional Episcopal service, Miers talked briefly with a couple of people and exited at a side door. She then headed to a north Dallas hotel to take part in a separate service conducted by a group that has broken away from the evangelical Valley View Christian Church.
I guess this requires another line of questioning now.
oh for Gods sake, admit that attacking the woman for which church she attended today is ridiculous, dubs! i am going to st anthony's in falls church today at 5pm, because xsboy had a hockey game this AM and so i wasn't able to attend my normally conservative St James. i am going to have to sit through Father Sandals leftwing crap this afternoon, maybe i will regress and turn liberal because of it.... /sarcasm
well-regarded judges from the Appellate circuit,
NONE and I repeat NONE of the people you listed would EVER get approved. You can put up as many Conservatives as you want, but they would never get approved...hence the point!
Keep on whining...that's very helpful.
If Bush could run for a third term, you could count on me to NOT vote for him.

Of course.
I never said anything about her church attendence, even though that seems to be one of the thigs they are trying to sell us on her with, no?
*eye roll*
Me too!
I wouldn't trust him as far as I can throw my house.
