HELLOO IT IS A JOKE!!!
i thought it'd be obvious, it is mocking the pro miers crowd
I think you're going a bit overboard. Harriet Miers isn't as bad as Ted Bundy... but, if you wish to join those opposing her nomination, welcome to the camp nonetheless ;)
Be nice... I would hope you would still take calls from Harriet Miers if she had to withdraw because of the intense criticism from Republicans over her nomination?
No. He's a nice guy. I agree with him on a lot of issues. I voted for him. But I don't trust his 'personal' judgment for Harriet Miers over the established record of rulings and arguments and constitutional analysis offered by more highly qualified, more able, and frankly - intellectually more capable - potential nominees.
Bush said to trust him on Putin of Russia because Bush looked into his heart and saw a good man. I think Bush was wrong about Putin just as he is misguided in nominating Harriet.
Last I checked Melanie Morgan IS an American citizen and that is who wrote the letter that this thread is about. Unless you have info. on Melanie I am not privvy to!?
If you randomly select a person from a phone book they would NOT have "proven conservative credentials" AND you would "know very little about her."
Make sense?
Sorry, but Bush has a pretty mixed record of appointing people to serve him. If you haven't noticed the Administration has devoted a great deal of time to discrediting former members of the Administration who criticize Bush/Cheney and obviously never agreed with their ideology or approach to governance.
At the end of the actual World Net Daily website where the article appeared they have 2 links related to Melanie Morgan:
and...
You can also "Google" her name...
Google Search on Melanie Morgan - CLICK HERE
Melanie's become one of the leading conservative grassroots leaders in the nation over the course of the past few years. She also started the Recall Gray Davis movement in California that led to the historic recall of California's Democrat Governor... the first time we recalled a statewide officer here in California IN HISTORY.
How encouraging."
I was talking about David Frum.
Maybe you would have a point if these talk show hosts had nominated Miers.
But they didn't, Bush did that. So if anyone has "undermined" Bush it's the President himself. And that's what is so sad about this. Bush shot himself in the foot and now the entire Administration is running around and trying to find an alibi for it... (our critics are elitist, our critics are sexist, our critics just don't know how much of an old-time-religion-evangelical she really is). No, the President just made an atrocious pick for what is perhaps the most important Supreme Court Justice pick of the last 25 years.
To me, the arrogance of the talkers and pundits is breathtaking.
But the delusion is hilarious. These bloviators actually think that they can influence the President into surrender on this nomination.
It took the MSM decades to get to that level of delusion -- and look where they are now.
So Tucker Carlson had come out againt her! Big news indeed! For some reason, the bow tie brigade - Tucker and George Will leading the pack - don't like this lady. What is it about her that irritates twits and twerps?
If they were discussing her fitness or unfitness AFTER the hearing, I might understand, but to do so NOW does not make what they say credible.
Have any of the potential candidates said they were not included in the 'please don't nominate me camp.'
I am opposed to Miers' nomination myself, but I have yet to read or hear that. Please point me in that direction if you could. I'd like to also forward that on to Melanie and a few others.
Yes, it's actually pretty funny because Melanie is Lee's sidekick IN SPITE of Jack Swanson serving as PD. Next time your out the California way and you see Melanie speaking at some GOP/conservative event you should talk to her afterwards. She's got a funny tale to tell of her life in broadcast circles, how she became a conservative, etc...
Her husband, by the way, is a Democrat I believe. And ABC is also interviewing replacement candidates for Jack's position as PD of KSFO. He would just be PD of KGO.
I call on Harriet Miers to STAND HER GROUND! Bump to support Harriet Miers!"
And as a fellow FReeper you are a welcome addition to the debate and discussion over Miers' nomination.
May I point out the problem of the argument you offer in defense of Miers which is the same as the supporters the Administration has trotted out to support Miers: THERE IS NO GOOD ARGUMENT TO SUPPORT HER NOMINATION.
The best argument, really, that has been offered is that Bush nominated her, he's our guy, and therefore we should give him the benefit of the doubt.
Other than that rationale, there isn't any objective standard by which one could come to support the nomination of Harriet Miers.
Not sure what alternate universe you're on Map, but calling attention to his job title as a speech writer is not a smear.
If you randomly select a person from a phone book they would NOT have "proven conservative credentials" AND you would "know very little about her."
Make sense?
Of course. Yet you don't understand that Harriet Miers wasn't "randomly selected from a phone book" by a guy who has known her for more than a decade.
