On today’s “700 Club” broadcast, the Rev. Pat Robertson responded to criticism from the Right regarding the Miers nomination and also offered a stern warning to those conservative senators who might be thinking of voting against her. Rev. Robertson suggested that people should look at who is supporting Miers before they doubt her conservative credentials. He named James Dobson, the Rev. Jerry Falwell, Richard Land of the Southern Baptist Convention, Jay Sekulow of the Robertson-founded American Center for Law and Justice, and himself as proof of support for Miers’ nomination from the Right. Robertson concluded by noting: “These so-called movement conservatives don’t have much of a following, the ones that I’m aware of. And you just marvel, these are the senators, some of them who voted to confirm the general counsel of the ACLU to the Supreme Court, and she was voted in almost unanimously. And you say, ‘now they’re going to turn against a Christian who is a conservative picked by a conservative President and they’re going to vote against her for confirmation?’ Not on your sweet life, if they want to stay in office.”


Well, there ya have it. Some of the most pathetic, bigoted, unChristian assholes on the face of the earth are in solid support of Miers. I can’t think of anything that’s a bigger red flag to VOTE HER DOWN!



BTW, there's a video link at the PFAW site, too.

2. Now there's an Evangelical Xtian litmus test?
The moderate republicans must be confounded. Thomas Jefferson has to be rolling over in his grave.

7. The best reason to reject Miers...
That might be a good reason, but I'd say the BEST reason is that she was nominated by an illegitimate administration.
