Is that the only two alternatives? Support her or oppose her? Can't we say, we won't play in this one?
I think initial indications are just that. I googled the church she is reported to attend and it is an evangelical Christian church. (Slow in loading as well, don't think the church's server is used to the kind of traffic it is likely getting today!)
BTW, Valley View Christian in Dallas, TX.
Yes I think that's a GREAT way to put it. If I had to really nail it down, I would say that I am right in between "supporting her" and "not playing yet" on this one. I am encouraged by the people who have spoken out so strongly so quickly about herr and her Christian and conservative values. The fact that she's a recovering Catholic, and a proven evangelical Christian really says a lot. But because she isn't someone I've heard of before, I'm prayerfully cautious, hoping and praying that Bush's judgement on her is right, and that she's a strict constructionist and very conservative and loyal to the Constitution and what it says, not what someone like stevens and ginsberg wants it to say. That's where I am. I refuse to jump out and make emotional statments with no facts to back them up, slamming the woman and Bush based on a lack of facts and evidence that would back up that reaction. I think real conservatives who are having that reaction are making a real mistake. Conservatives need to band together, not sheer apart. We are under a concerted attack by liberals with DeLay, and Frist, and Bennett, and this will be next. We need to be taking it to the liberals, not having this infighting because of knee jerk fear without fact as the basis. If we as conservatives don't band together and fight, the conservative movement is dead. There's just no time for this chicken little crap with Miers. Opinions should be based on facts and first hand accounts of her, not fear and speculation. It's just that simple.
