This is the first thing that made me think, wow, bush is TOAST...
I haven't seen this here, so if it's a dupe, please delete, but apparently , Miers donated money to Hillary Clinton's Senate campaign back in 2000.

Bush's "base", if they knew this, would flip the f*** out! Let's make sure they hear this. There's no one they hate more than good old H.C.!

This link is from RawStory:

29. WARNING WARNING WARNING
How do we know she didn't make these contributions, knowing that she could point back to them at some future date and say "See what a good liberal I am?", and then get herself appointed somewhere that Bush had promised her during his campaign?

I believe there is a quid pro quo with her nomination. She is a Trojan horse. DO NOT CONFIRM THIS ONE, Dems!

3. LOL! I'm sure they DO know that and that's why the "Brownbacks" of the
party are going ape shit. I knew there had to be SOMETHING else that made them come out against her. Now I understand. :)

7. Zynx, that's snarky ... and I like it!
Brownback aka Brownpants, indeed.

It will be interesting to see these guys on the right twist in the wind. Bush has hung each of them out for a beating from their base.

I love this!!

26. You'd hear that "wonderful Christian" say a lot of ungodly things.
Things that a good family man wouldn't say in front of his children at any rate.

Hillary. That would really get it going.

9. Why would Bush nominate someone to the SC...
...who would have contributed to Hillary's Senate campaign?

We can probably assume that the woman is not pro life then, correct?

Or is there something I'm missing here?

This also contradicts James Dobson's wink-and-a-nod insinuations that Meir is someone that would vote in ways that would make Evangelicals happy.

If Miers is adamantly pro life, there's no way in heck she would give $ to Hillary. Again, unless I'm missing something.

I sometimes wonder---if this nomination wasn't a moment of rebellion for Bush. On one of the Sunday talk shows, it was said that Bush grew tired of conservatives telling him who he should nominate and what kind of a person he needed to pick, etc. We all know that Bush is a petulant little rebel boy--still acting out rebellion. I wonder if he just didn't thumb his nose at conservatives and pick a nominee that was for himself, and himself only...as if he was saying, "To hell with all of you!".

Remember Novak's Sept 22 Aspen Conference column? That column featured Novak telling Bush that the elitist, major-player conservatives who met in Aspen were united in being angry and displeased with Bush. Bush made his SC pick after that column. My guess is that Bush is "acting out" and being contrary--with his own peeps now.

Let the implosion begin.

25. She doesn't seem to have a powerful intellect.
She would be easily swayed by the intellectual heavyweights on the court whether that is Scalia(compared to Harriet) or Ginsburg.

14. You realize that Jerome Corsi, the intrepid Worldnut correspondent who
provided this information, is one of the Swiftboat Veterans for the Truth's ghostwriters, and a fr.com member?

Jerome Corsi
Worldnet Daily Exclusive Commentary
WND Exclusive Commentary Harriet Miers contributed
to Hillary's election in 2000
Posted: October 9, 2005

© 2005 WorldNetDaily.com

On May 17, 2000, while Harriet Miers was managing the law firm of Locke Liddell from the firm's Dallas office, she contributed $415 to the law firm's political action committee. Federal Election Commission reports show that two days later, Locke Liddell's PAC contributed $1,000 to Hillary Rodham Clinton's Senate Campaign Committee. For an unexplained reason, Harriet Miers listed herself as a "self-employed attorney," according to the FEC Report on her 2000 contribution to the Locke Liddell PAC.

FEC records also show a $500 contribution on Feb. 15, 2000, by the Locke Liddell PAC to Democrat Nicholas Lampson, who ran unsuccessfully against Tom DeLay.

Locke Liddell's contributions also reached out to out-of-state Democratic congressmen. According to FEC records, on July 27, 2000, the Locke Liddell PAC contributed $1,000 to Richard Gephardt's congressional re-election campaign in Missouri. Locke Liddell also supported Democrats in Louisiana, contributing $1,000 to Mary Landrieu, on Dec. 4, 2000, and $1,000 to the campaign of Louisana Congressman William Jennings Jefferson on June 6, 2000. (snip)

Jerome R. Corsi received a Ph.D. from Harvard University in political science in 1972 and has written many books and articles, including the No. 1 New York Times best-seller, "Unfit for Command – Swift Boat Veterans Speak Out Against John Kerry." Dr. Corsi is an expert on political violence and terrorism and founder of the Iran Freedom Foundation.


I don't know how they can conclude that her contribution of 415 bucks was specifically to Hilary.

15. Even better! Then they'll actually BELIEVE it.
One of their own tells them this, Bush has *truly* betrayed them.

In fact, it's kind of perfect if it's not true.

(But thanks for giving me a heads-up about that outfit's bias.)

23. Well, what it looks like is this... she gave to her law firm's PAC.
The PAC, which presumably has money from other law firm members (she gave 415 bux, PAC gave a thousand to Hilary), gave contributions to various candidates. The ones listed are Dems, but it doesn't say whether the PAC gave only to Dems or to Repubs as well (which, I think, would not be uncommon depending on the "mission" of the PAC).

It could well be that she fully intended to support Dem candidates, especially if that was the mission of the PAC. But as you can see on my other post's link from opensecrets.org, she gave a lot more to Repub candidates.

So it may well be that this is an "ideological purity" witch hunt by the wingers, which is rather amusing.

18. Proves nothing. Her law firm gave to both Democrats and
Republicans.

Doesn't indicate her poltics.

20. Does it really matter? If we repeat it, and they believe it...well...
...that's what they do. They believe whatever they're told. Now this is in print. And apparently a freeper wrote it. So...that's all they really need.

I think it could be GREAT, true or false or inconsequential. It's very, very fun to say! "Bush's nominee, Miers, donated to Hillary Clinton."
