Duped Pro-Lifers

Have pro-life voters been duped yet again? Republican, conservative, Christian fundie voters have spent the last 40 years doing anything that needed to be done to gain control of the federal government. They only wanted one thing: a supreme court that would overturn Roe v. Wade. Five years ago they finally got their wish - W. Bush was elected along with right wing majorities in both houses of congress. These voters were willing to support George W. through thick and thin. Lies, war, run amok government growth, out of control spending, torture, spit on the bill of rights, cronyism, swift boat veterans...you name it, the pro-lifers were willing to support it or look the other way. So how are they repaid? Harriet Miers nominated by 'W' for a supreme court judge slot. Now they are howling and who can blame them? They are finally getting what 'W' has been giving the opposition for 5 years. Republicans have been getting the support of pro-lifers for years and years. How much longer will they continue to fall for the lie that Republicans want to overturn Roe v Wade?

Now remember a few weeks ago when Roberts was being questioned by the Senate? Republicans were saying, hey...the President deserves to appoint who he wants without a lot of in depth questioning by the opposition. I won't even debate whether they had a point or not. But now, with a new candidate for Supreme Court Justice, the Republicans are saying...what to hell? Where did 'W' find this unqualified person? We are going to have to question her VERY closely and she better answer every question! Ah these are amusing times.
