How could President Bush send pro-lifers coded messages that Harriet Miers is an anti-Roe Supreme Court nominee while denying they ever discussed her views on abortion? And why didn't they?
By choosing Miers as his Supreme nominee, President Bush has unnecessarily subjected his closest allies to literal torment. At stake are millions of lives. Forcing pro-lifers to walk on hot coals for him in a bizarre demonstration of faith is most egregious, something the president wouldn't subject his own dog to.
Read my WorldNetDaily.com column today, "A pro-life president loses his voice."
Whatever your position on the Miers nomination, I hope you will enjoy a little comic relief that I came up with earlier this week. It's called "Swing Roe, Sweet Harriet".
Sometimes you just have to laugh.
I think it is very unlikely that Bush & Miers have never actually discussed Roe. I don't know why that's his claim, unless he's just putting up a smokescreen to keep the moderates happy.
I don't like lies, especially when my favorite President is telling them. I don't like stealth candidates, either. But something tells me that Miers will be okay. Her faith background is a real comfort to me. This is not a woman who should be vulnerable to left-wing flattery and such. She has a no-nonsense, it-says-what-it-says view of both the Bible and the Constitution ... a view that I happen to share.
I'm not entirely pleased, but I think it'll be okay.
