Let me post something for you to consider...
4 . MIERS, HARRIET E MS 11/3/1988 $1,000.00 DALLAS, TX 75229 [Contribution] DNC SERVICES CORPORATION/DEMOCRATIC NATIONAL COMMITTEE
Hmm..note the date...days before the Bush 41/Dukakis election!
Yeah, this lady is a REAL Conservative...she was donating RIGHT BEFORE ELECTION DAY to the DNC!!!
Given Dukakis' positions (Pro-abortion, anti-second ammendment)...does ANYONE think that she was donating to someone she was philosophically OPPOSED to?!
And when the Political winds changed in Texas...she weathervaned right along with them (Good sound principles there...how does GWB justify her work AGAINST his father and the (R)'s?) and in all likelyhood kept her previous "Principles" in tact, because the (R)'s decided to go with a "Big Tent" strategy...which just allowed the enemy to work from within to destroy the Base!
But I'm sure that the BushBot Kool-Aid crowd will be along soon to pooh-pooh this info, and pass out warm glasses of Pi$$ and tell us it's Republican Strategerey Lemonaide!
Were you one of the ones that cheered Zell Miller's speech at the Reprublican National Convention???
Zell Miller has voted and spoken pretty conservatively...and even campaigned for Pres. Bush...but he STILL plans on staying a Democrat...
Supposedly, Dingy Harry is PRO-LIFE, but that doesn't keep him from insulting and filibustering pro-life nominees...
Sometimes a "name" is just a name....and not the whole story about someone...
I guess I'll say this once more, hope to make the point and just go on. I, and many others here, were once not only dems, but liberal dems. For example, I worked for the Gene McCarthy campaign. I did not know I had to be BORN conservative to have someone believe I actually had the brains and the sense to become one. If conservative from birth becomes the test, we will be a small party indeed.
LOL, Republican Strategery Lemonade!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Here's something you might find interesting:
" in 1990 Miers voted for a 7 percent property tax increase during her short tenure on the Dallas City Council"

ANd that money she gave was in '88, 17 years ago for Pete's sake! She hasn't donated money to any democrat in 15 years!!! What's your explaination for that? Reagan was a Democrat and gave money to democrats too years ago, did you oppose him for President both times??? The fact that she gave money, when forced to by her law firm by the way, to a couple democrats, back when she was a democrat, an old democrat not a liberal democrat, is no kind of proof that she's not a conservative today. She was also Catholic back then too, and since then has converted to become an evangelical Christian. Whatever happened to, "Forget what you did before, what have you done for me lately?" Because lately, she's been a pro-life, very conservative, Evangelical Christian, with strong conservative constructionist beliefs. THAT is Miers today. You're opposing the 1988 Miers, and that woman doesn't exist today. You're opposing a ghost, not the reality that has just been nominated for the court. The person you're opposed to doesn't exist anymore. Look at the facts, and read the comments of the proven conservatives who are out supporting Miers. Stop basing your opinion on 15 year old points and supposition!
