Bush gives Dobson some SECRET INFORMATION about Miers
So that is why he endorsed her right from the get go. I wonder what secret information is given to the Pro-Birth anti-gay dog and child beater that would appease him to and cause him to gather all his flock to support her.


"Dobson, who got a heads-up from Karl Rove this past weekend, before the President announced her nomination, has given Miers an initial thumbs-up.

Afterwards, Dobson told the New York Times he supported her because of her religious faith and because he has reason to believe she opposes abortion. “Some of what I know I am not at liberty to talk about,” he told the newspaper.

The New York Times reported that the White House began a series of conference calls to right wing groups early Monday morning, to assure them Miers was one of them. Dobson’s rep now says there was no secret information. There’s a piece missing from this puzzle. Keep digging, Sen. Salazar.

Karl Rove, the president's top political adviser, started calling influential social conservatives to reassure them about the pick even before it was announced. He called James C. Dobson, founder of Focus on the Family, over the weekend, and Richard Land, a top public policy official of the Southern Baptist Convention on Monday morning, said several people briefed on the calls. Paul Weyrich, the veteran conservative organizer, said Ed Gillespie, the former Republican Party chairman lobbying for confirmation, called at 7:10 a.m. to tell him the news.

In each call and in a series of teleconferences throughout the day, representatives of the White House promised their conservative supporters that as White House counsel, Ms. Miers had played a central role in picking the many exemplars of conservatism among Mr. Bush's previous nominees.
