Concerned Women demand Miers withdraw: She's a Streisand-lovin' MANBASHER!
:rofl:

WASHINGTON, Oct. 26 /Christian Wire Service/ -- Concerned Women for America (CWA), the nation's largest public policy women's organization, is calling for Supreme Court nominee Harriet Miers' name to be withdrawn.

"CWA was founded to provide an alternative to radical feminists – who claim to speak for all women – and who seek to impose policies that do not respect unborn babies, family or God. Too often these radical feminists found success, not through democratic means, but through activist courts," said Wendy Wright, executive vice president.

"Harriet Miers has shown respect for Christian values by attending an Evangelical church. But her professional and civic life leaves us questioning whether she chooses to reflect and advance the views of the group she's with at the moment. Though she attends an Evangelical church known for its pro-life position, during the same time period she advanced radical feminists and organizations that promote agendas that undermine respect for life and family," said Wendy Wright. "This drives us to rely upon her actions, her deeds, her words as opposed to the endorsements of those who have worked with and known her.

"We believe that far better qualified candidates were overlooked and that Miss Miers' record fails to answer our questions about her qualifications and constitutional philosophy," said Jan LaRue, CWA's chief counsel. "In fact, we find several aspects troubling, particularly her views on abortion and a woman's 'self-determination,' quotas, feminism and the role of judges as social activists. We do not believe that our concerns will be satisfied during her hearing."

"Every time she quotes or cites women she admires, they're to the left of Betty Freidan. We desire role models who have a strong record of promoting and advancing constitutional principles. Miss Miers' record, as reflected in her speeches, is of promoting a leftist agenda that relies upon the courts to impose their views," LaRue commented. "We'd prefer to have someone fond of quoting Margaret Thatcher or Antonin Scalia rather than Barbra Streisand and Gloria Steinem. Some of Miss Miers' own comments border on male-bashing."

"The record we know is a record that convinces us that Miers is not even close to being in the mold of Scalia or Thomas, as the President promised the American people," LaRue noted.

"We really wanted to back the President, and sought evidence to support this nomination, but we find this Supreme Court nominee unqualified and her record troubling. However, we look forward to a nomination that we can whole-heartedly endorse," said Beverly LaHaye, founder and chairman of Concerned Women for America.

1. This is why, of course, that most of the statements
issued by this clandestine cult are by MEN.

Naturally, they keep forgetting that self-appointment to being "concerned" doesn't mean endorsement by the people of the United States. But then, groups like this dream of theocracy and the return of such "concerned" women to the kitchen and the baby factory.

2. Mier's is unmarried, childless, and a
career woman. Doesn't exactly fit the prototype for Concerned Women for America.

11. She does, however, have the requisite lacquered helmet hair
and 15 pounds of Sara Coventry jewelry to qualify for membership.

3. And where the HELL is my pot roast on the table when I get home from work?
If they are so damned concerned, I am looking at a sandwich again tonight, and sure would like somebody to take over that laundry. Seriously, if these rich women helped battered women, like my mother was, I would listen to them. Right now, CWA is a bunch of cartoon characters. The Stepford Republicans.

18. But he didn't say, "this is what I'm going to do,
I am going to identify somebody just like Thomas and nominate him".
And anyway who knows, she might actually be just like Thomas.

9. I've never heard of the group and I know a lot of women's groups.
Who determined that they're the largest public policy women's group? I'm sure NOW is larger.

19. "Left Behind" LaHaye's wife?
If so, shouldn't she be at home, prepping the interior decorating for a suitable Rapture environment?

20. That's the one.
It's so hard planning for the Rapture. You don't want to spend TOO much since it might be any day, still, you have to please the man of the house with your decorating prowess.

22. LOL.
In shades of yellow, pink, lavender and white. Jeebus likes those colors. A touch of red, too, here and there.

12. Wait! Striesand is a Manbasher? LOL
:rofl: Oh and doesn't Miers just love Georgie? Doesn't she think he's the coolest thing ever? Doesn't sound like manbashing to me. :shrug: This crap is way out.

16. Miers is being LEFT BEHIND
Edited on Wed Oct-26-05 06:58 PM by SpiralHawk
EEEeeeeeekkkkk!

The LaHaye Dominionists (or whatever their dealth cult is categorized as) have condemned Harriet as UNCLEAN.

She is to be Left Behind.

Just like all you Heathen DUers !

Repent ! Now ! In these darkening Final Days and Nights of Fitzmas.

Accept the Infallibility of the BushCo Torture-Neglect-Incompetence-Treason-Greed WarMongers now,
or roast in the eTERnal fLaMes of tHe grEEnhOuse eFFect !

You unKleaN oNeS will be CRUSHED like insignificant GNATS under the Righteous BootHeel of Big BushCo.

17. I think she's pro-choice no matter what she said when she was running
for the Dallas city council and i also think Bush doesn't give a rip about abortion one way or the other except for pandering to get votes.

21. Some choice Margaret Thatcher quotes (what they like)
There are still people in my party who believe in consensus politics. I regard them as Quislings, as traitors... I mean it.

A world without nuclear weapons would be less stable and more dangerous for all of us

I owe nothing to Women's Lib.


It was sheer professionalism and inspiration and the fact that you really cannot have people marching into other people's territory and staying there.

The battle for women's rights has been largely won.


Oh, yeah, we really want someone like HER on the Supreme Court. Between the two, I would take Harry, flawed as she is.

23. Mmm. A MAN-BASHER?
Since she's never bashed Bush, does that mean they think Bush isn't a man?

I don't think he's much of a man.
