For those of you promoting the agenda of NOT supporting Harriet Miers, take a look at where you are siding.

Not in Our Name project.
They are SDS/Weatherman.
From FBI Files:
Weatherman or Weather Underground Organization, is a "revolutionary organization of communist men and women" formed by members of the Students for a Democratic Society or SDS. They were originally called the Revolutionary Youth Movement. They advocated the overthrow of our government and capitalism. They carried out a campaign of bombings, jailbreaks, and riots in 1969-1976.
The group derived their name from Bob Dylan's song lyrics from "Subterranean Homesick Blues", which were, "You don't need a weatherman to know which way the wind blows", I use to see that quote at the bottom of their periodical, New Left Notes, when I use to work at a periodical distribution company.
Their first event, in 1969, was the "Days of Rage" in Chicago. They blew up a statue dedicated to police casualties in the 1886 Haymarket Riot. They announced at a convention that they supported Charles Manson. The rally failed to draw as many participants (300) as they had hoped. They did lead a riot through Chicago's business district, smashing windows and cars. 6 were shot and 70 arrested. The conflict went on for a few days.
1970, after the shooting by police of Black Panther Fred Hampton, the group issued a Declaration of War against the United States government, changing its name to the "weather underground organization", adopting fake IDs, and pursuing covert activities only. These initially included plans for a bombing of a US military noncommissioned officers' dance at Fort Dix. But when three Underground members died in an accidental explosion while preparing the bomb in a Greenwich Village, New York City safe house, other cells re-evaluated their plans and decided to pursue only non-lethal projects.
This group released a number of manifestos and declarations, while conducting a series of bombings. These attacked the U.S. Capitol, The Pentagon, police and prison buildings, and the rebuilt Haymarket statue again, among other targets. The group took measures to avoid any loss of life as a result of these bombings, issuing warnings to evacuate the building ahead of time via phone. They also took a $25,000 payment from a drugs group called The Brotherhood of Eternal Love to break LSD advocate Timothy Leary out of prison, transporting him to Algeria. They remained largely successful at avoiding the police and the FBI.
In the mid-to-late 1970s, the group began dissolving, as many members turned themselves in to the police, and others moved onto other armed revolutionary groups. Very few served prison sentences, since the evidence gathered against them, by the FBI's COINTELPRO program, was inadmissable in court, due to the illegal methods used to obtain it.
Famous members of the Weather Underground include Kathy Boudin, Mark Rudd, Terry Robbins, David Gilbert, and the still-married couple Bernardine Dohrn and Bill Ayers.
Many former Weathermen have re-integrated into society, without necessarily repudiating their original intent. Bill Ayers, now a Distinguished Professor of Education at the University of Illinois, said in a September 11, 2001 New York Times profile "I don't regret setting bombs. I believe we didn't do enough."

If you aren't supporting Harriet Miers, take some time to do a search of BUSHCOMMISSION.ORG. Not a site search. A search to see where info is pulled from:
http://www.google.com/search?q=%22bushcommission.org%22&hl=en&lr=&filter=0
Make sure if you are not on the side of supporting Miers, it isn't information that came from SDS, Not In Our Name, MoveOn.org, of the NLG.
And you posted it in Frickin' BIG Type too!!
hahahah can you believe this??
Pithy.
In a utopia, the best person for the job, regardless of age, gender, skin color, "should be" everybody's desire. It doesn't happen, however, for one reason or another. Forcing it to be so creates as many problems, imho, as allowing it to come naturally. And, for example, many smaller companies, this doesn't happen because of familial reasons (i.e., the son takes over from the father, etc.). Perhaps the son isn't the best to take over, but that was the father's perogative...to keep it in the family....it's not always about prejudice.
Absolutely. Immediately.
::rolls eyes::
I'm supporting my own agenda, as I always do. I don't blindly follow any one.
I'm sure they'll all give flowery little speeches outlining their reservations, etc, but in the end, I think Miers will pass with virtually unanimous R support.
Now, don't get me wrong, I would've picked someone else. But after watching the MSM attack Bush over Katrina, Iraq, watching the attacks on Delay and Frist, and listening to Chris Matthews and the other froth-at-the-mouth leftists on Plame-gate, I'm feeling a lot more like a team player.
That means I'm not going to help the other side by attacking our own quarterback, whether he throws an interception or not, at least not right now, at this time.
Call me a Bushbot if you want, but I expect almost ALL of the R Senators will make the same political calculation.
Nominees with no discernable position are per se unacceptable.
We do not run government by guess.
Plus, I can't replace my clock. I voted for it, so I'm not allowed to admit that it can ever be wrong. To question the accuracy of my clock would be disloyal, sexist, traitorous... uh... well, you get the idea.
And are we allowed to use the word "azimuth"?
Harmless, yes . . . until those darned FR Communists wind up defeating Miers and we wind up with JRB, Luttig, McConnell or Alito as the next SC justice, and suddenly it's not so funny ;-)
Did you used to cause as much trouble at St. Dominic's Academy as you do here? ;-)
Is there anyone who doesn't support the Constitution and the President's right to nominate a Christian woman if he decides to?
I'm not supporting her because of YOUR qualifications. I'm supporting her because there is an all-out full-court press right now to make Republicans appear weak and corrupt so Hillary! can be President.
Now is not the time to argue amongst ourselves.
Besides, I believe she'll do a good job.
ALCOA - not Reynolds. You're using the wrong brand.
Putzhead.
>>>>Forcing it to be so creates as many problems, imho, as allowing it to come naturally.
Absolutely agree! That is the EOE quotas.
Goals for guidelines aren't the same. I believe a freeper stated that pretty well earlier on in this thread when he used the example of computer companies and speaking Chinese. This thread is getting way too long to backswim on though and I am signing off shortly to run errands.
Good points all, Like21. IMAO we need to be more like Spartans and less like Athenians, that is, a little less emotion and a more dispassionate thinking with this nomination.
Like a deficient infant, she's `lame' and should be left to the elements. I'm sure she's a great gal but it's certain President Bush approached her, she considered accepting and then did accept.
She should withdraw her nomination on her own motion instead of doing a Clinton: "Waal, I guess we gotta win then . . . " (We're still suffering as a nation from his self-serving decision, but then it's always been all about Bill where Clinton's concerned.)
The Athenians lost, recall. The stakes here are too high.
Calpurnia, a little less lefty-like heat and a little more light, por favor.
"The best lack conviction while the worst are full of passionate intensity." Yeats
Yeah, you. You're demanding that Bush accede to your idea of "qualifications," and that he withdraw his nominee because she doesn't fulfill your "qualifications."
