Miers and Bush: Pro-Death

by Susan Lenfestey


I didn't expect the nomination of Harriet Miers to be a breeze, but I didn't expect a hurricane either. Well, no one did. She seemed so - bland. Sure, she called President Bush the most brilliant man she'd ever met, and there's that religious trajectory from Catholic to Evangelical Christian, but everyone knows we don't mix religion and government in America - that's the very thing we're wasting lives and money trying to prevent in Iraq. Right?


Well, not so much, as Jon Stewart of the Daily Show would say.


Although the administration's attempts to soothe the riled-up base with Miers's evangelical faith have been hushed, Bush supporters outside the Beltway continue to offer it as her primary qualification.


Former Whitewater prosecutor Kenneth Starr, who hog-tied much of Bill Clinton's second term trying to prove that Clinton had the sexual ethics of a pro athlete, (something most people knew when they voted for him) got into the act saying that Ms. Miers deserves support because she is a “very, very strong Christian.” Let's try that with a Jew next time, or even better, a Muslim.

1. Yeah it is a fine line

No man can serve too masters, either he will love the one and hate the other. You cannot serve both the Mainstream and the Extremists. A lesson for now.

2. So a strong Dietist is out too?

Too bad as most founding fathers were dietists, no afilliation to any one religion, so not "very very good Christians.

We were founded by non Christians, for all who buy into the christian crap.What idiots.

Are we getting stupider or what?
