>>>> Just because the President says he wants her, and just because he says "trust me", isn't good enough -- really, it isn't.

It may be true that isn't a good enough reason.

But since Not In Out Name has put so much effort in to fight this and has issued the guidelines of talking points.....

THAT combined with Bush makes me confident in supporting her.

Propaganda works both ways.

"Nice way to splice a post again to change what I said in my post."

Nope, I don't splice. If you'll recall I asked you to be clear, you said that you had already answered.....

Now what EXACTLY did I splice? If you want ANOTHER opportunity to be clear, fine, explain what it is you meant......But I have to tell you, from post #1 to now, I seriously can't tell if you are insane or not.

>>>>Oh great, Calhernia, so now we're communists in addition to being sexist elitists! I luv accumulating these titles by correspondence.

You belong to SDS? I wouldn't post that on a public message board if I were you.

Hmmmmm, well, I don't think one needs to delve into the technical aspects of heresy to find a reason to oppose this nomination.

I just don't see that as a serious factor......but maybe it matters to someone.

I've heard she left the Catholic church, hence fitting the technical definition as a heretic, but you really think that Catholics are driving opposition to her because of this? I don't.

The Diocese of Dallas just reported that she was never on the rolls there. The White House has admitted it was an error.

So I think this conversion angle is a moot point.

It's not why so many conservatives were disappointed in the ruling. If Bush wanted an evangelical Texas woman for the Cout, he could have picked Owens or Jones, and no one on the Right would have batted an eyelash over *their* faith.

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/1507280/posts?page=366#366 was for you, not revolting cat.

Doesn't mean a thing to not be on the rolls of the Diocese of Dallas. I have a friend who is a verifiable member of a Uniate congregation in Pennsylvania yet he attends an RC church in this area rather than a Uniate church.

To get on the rolls he'd have to spend a lot of money running through a church law process to transfer from the Ukrainian Rite to the Roman Rite.

Back to the point,

http://www.adherents.com/people/pm/Harriet_Miers.html covers the issue and suggests maybe Harriett was never a member of the Catholic Church, although that attendance at Episcopal churches suggests strongly that she had leanings that way in her youth.

Maybe we ought to call her and ask her. BTW, if this particular report factually covers the situation, then Buchanan and his gumbahs over at National Review can pull back from their kneejerk response to her nomination ~ those bad boys were out there on the street in minutes bad mouthing her.

[RFEngineer]

You ARE insane. There is no splice, and the posts go exactly as I described them, including the request to be clear.

Now I ask again, be clear this time: Is there NO opposition to Miers that is reasonable?

"Yes" or "no" would be a clear answer, if you so choose.

[writmeister]

I am stating that one of the reasons I oppose Ms. Miers' nomination is that she was a proponent of the IOLTA program with which I disagreed.

I do not know why I need to wait for hearings to reach that conclusion since I experienced first-hand Ms. Miers' tenure as State Bar President and the ensuing debate over the propriety of the IOLTA program.

I did not suggest that Ms. Miers inappropriately used funds in a legal sense since that is not the case as the Supreme Court eventually upheld the validity of a similar IOLTA program. I do suggest that Ms. Miers' prior support of the IOLTA program contradicts the White House's claim that she is a conservative as the Texas IOLTA program was driven by liberal activists within the Texas State Bar.

Obviously you can't read.

So goodnight.

"Obviously you can't read.

See, I knew you wouldn't answer the question. Sleep tight, and dream of reality tonight.

[B Knotts]

I knew eventually someone would start accusing NR of opposing her on the basis of her having left the Catholic Church (even though the story is apparently untrue).

Frankly, I think it's a silly accusation, but be my guest.

For crying out loud, they have Derbyshire writing for them! Not exactly a foaming-at-the-mouth Papist, to say the least.

Guess who breaths oxygen: you may be surprised...

Adolf Hitler (breathed oxygen for most of his life)
Pol Pot (yup, he breathed it too)
Bill Clinton (that depends on what the meaning of 'breath' is)
Hillary Clinton
Rasputin (he may not have got as much as anyone else, but he breathed it.)

Pretty lame post. Maybe you'll do better next time.

A sampling of 3,000 is valid, but not when taken among murders and thieves. Mind you, I am not name calling anyone, only making a point.

Then just what IS your point?

[Lazamataz]

Yes, yes, I know: Every time I criticize anything Bush does, G-d kills a kitten.

[Calpernia]

>>>>Yes, yes, I know: Every time I criticize anything Bush does, G-d kills a kitten.

You miss understood my post. Trying reading it again.

[Lazamataz]

I read it. I know what you are trying to say, Most everyone on this thread did as well.

It is a simple attempt to silence dissent. Period.

I have to go.

[Calpernia]

No, you misread.

[Lazamataz]

Sorry, but I and others are rapidly coming to the conclusion we are not on the same side.

I agree. I am on the side that is loyal to principles and ideals.

You are on the side that is loyal to a man.
