Wow. Quick 180 there, Jimmy. He was crowing not even a couple days ago about his "secret info" on why Miers was perfect for the job.

1. Dobson being a a liar no never

Just another one of the Bush backers who proclaim soul's of the angel but speak with the tongue of the serpent.

2. They think their strategy is smart.

They had been guaranteed Miers would vote their way by Booosh, whether or not she would have.

But now they see this as an opportunity to shove a really, really hardright and social conservative down our throats.

3. That's when the fight comes in

Dems just watched as the Repubs stepped on their dicks all over the place on Miers, and now if they try a hard ideologue, the Dems will be ready for a fight. I hope, they are, at least.

Harry Reid can go screw himself, BTW......NO CONFIDENCE.

Dr. Dobson Says Bush Made 'Wise Decision' on Miers Nomination

Focus Action founder believes president was right to accept her withdrawal as SCOTUS nominee.
Colorado Springs, Colo. -- Focus on the Family Action founder and chairman Dr. James C. Dobson issued the following statement today in response to Supreme Court nominee Harriet Miers' decision to withdraw her name from consideration:

"I believe the president has made a wise decision in accepting Harriet Miers' withdrawal as a nominee to the Supreme Court.

"In recent days I have grown increasingly concerned about her conservative credentials, and I was dismayed to learn this week about her speech in 1993, in which she sounded pro-abortion themes, and expressed so much praise for left-wing feminist leaders.

"When the president announced this nominee, I expressed my tentative support, based on what I was able to discover about her. But I also said I would await the hearings to learn more about her judicial philosophy. Based on what we now know about Miss Miers, it appears that we would not have been able to support her candidacy. Thankfully, that difficult evaluation is no longer necessary."

5. Huh! Hard to believe

I guess Dr. Dobson believes that the commandment against bearing false witness is just a suggestion.

Mealy-mouthed liar.
