By God, I'll Get you a Palestinian State!

I was going to post a separate item on James C. Dobson's recent voices, but it should fit here. <br>On this Miers thing, he has heard 2 voices (well, almost 2): one being Karl Roverer's. He is waiting to hear from you know Who as the second. <br><br>1.) From the NYT: "Conservatives Are Wary Over President's Selection", By DAVID D. KIRKPATRICK, October 4, 2005: <br><br>"...<!--EZCODE BOLD START--><strong>Karl Rove</strong><!--EZCODE BOLD END-->, the president's top political adviser, started calling influential social conservatives to reassure them about the pick even before it was announced. <!--EZCODE BOLD START--><strong>He called James C. Dobson, founder of Focus on the Family, over the weekend,</strong><!--EZCODE BOLD END--> and Richard Land, a top public policy official of the Southern Baptist Convention on Monday morning, said several people briefed on the calls...<br><br><!--EZCODE BOLD START--><strong>By day's end, Mr. Dobson, one of the most influential evangelical conservatives, welcomed the nomination. "Some of what I know I am not at liberty to talk about," he said in an interview</strong><!--EZCODE BOLD END-->, explaining his decision to speak out in support of Ms. Miers. He declined to discuss his conversations with the White House."<br><br>2.) "Armando", a Kos blogger writes this today (friend of a friend thing, I know, but...) <!--EZCODE AUTOLINK START--><a href="http://www.dailykos.com/storyonly/2005/10/5/153716/970">www.dailykos.com/storyonl...153716/970</a><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK END--><br><br>"Seemingly backing off statements of unconditioned and irrevocable support for the nomination of Harriet Miers, <!--EZCODE BOLD START--><strong>Dobson is now 'waiting for a sign from God.'</strong><!--EZCODE BOLD END--> A blogger e-mails this recounting of Dobson's radio show from a friend of his:<br><br>Dobson dedicated his entire half-hour radio show to the Miers nomination today. Below is my short write-up of what he had to say:<br><br><!--EZCODE QUOTE START--><blockquote><strong><em>Quote:</em></strong><hr>He went on the claim that "I'm getting calls from members of Congress saying 'tell us your take on this, we're not sure what we think of Harriet Miers.'" He then admitted "It was leaked to the media that I've had conversations with Karl Rove and the White House, which is true."<br><br><!--EZCODE BOLD START--><strong>He said "There is so much in the balance [with this nominee], there is no way to put it into words . . . Because of that, Dobson is begging the Lord: "If this is not the person you want on that Supreme Court, all you have to do is tell me so, and do it through any means you want to."</strong><!--EZCODE BOLD END--> <br><br><!--EZCODE BOLD START--><strong>He finally then discussed why he is supporting Miers, saying "I can't reveal it all, because I do know things that I'm privy to that I can't describe, because of confidentiality."</strong><!--EZCODE BOLD END--> He then states that Miers "is a deeply committed Christian" and that people who know her have all told him that "she will not be a disappointment." <br><br>"I believe in trusting this president and this time because of the stand that he has taken and the way he has implemented it consistently for four and a half years. <!--EZCODE BOLD START--><strong>When you put that with all the other information that I have been able to gather - and you'll have to trust me on this one - when you know some of the things that I know, that I probably shouldn't know, that take me in this direction, you will understand why I have said, with fear and trepidation, why I have said why I believe that Harriet Miers will be a good justice."</strong><!--EZCODE BOLD END--><hr></blockquote><!--EZCODE QUOTE END--><br><br> <p></p><i></i>

...is hilarious. If you're old enough to remember Red Buttons dancing around doing his ""Ho! Ho!... Hee! Hee!... Ha! Ha!... Strange things are happening" song with his hand to his ear, it's especially funny.

Rove probably assured Dobson that Meiers has been bought and paid for. <br><br>Someone who has never been a judge nominated to the Supreme Court? There is something dirty about this whole thing. <p></p><i></i>

Yeah, sure, she's the best person W could think of for the job. that's why he kept her chained to a desk all those years instead of appointing her as a federal judge to groom her for the SCOTUS. She's in the best position to uphold her master's dirty tricks. She'll keep her thin lips shut.<br><br>Trust him? He "knows her heart." With the lowest ratings in history, his buddies are not afraid of turning on him now. Pat Buchanan is railing against Harriet. She'll never make it. It's a desperate last ditch effort to save himself from being sacrificed. He spoke of more sacrifices needed in the war on terra today. Was he speaking of himself? That speech was stupefying. It was as if he were talking about himself.<br><br>Arghhh.<br> <p></p><i></i>

probably many will know this, but i heard radio talk re a piece in truthout.org, by the v.p. natl lawyers guild: in Texas, there was scandal brewing over the state lottery. Bush appointed her to clean it up. upshotwas, she fired the whistleblower & I think protected the exec who, just by the way, got Bush his Natl Guard sinecure, AND was one of those who bilked us all in the Savings & Loan scam ( along with Neil Bush, and wasnt that exactly about the time that Poppy invaded . . . Iraq!) Supposedly she also "pitbulled" Bush's safety about the natl guard during that story, and kept John what's his face's papers secret from the senate panel for his supreme court hearings, and as 2nd in command under Alberto Gonzales would have had a hand in fixing the torture thing - you know, when they told the world that torture is OK & disappearing people is Ok etc. She thinks he is the most brilliant man . . . ! This is all according to the piece in truthout.org <p></p><i></i>
