Does Harriet Miers Support Affirmative Action?
Support for Affirmative Action is the one political position that I cannot overlook in a candidate. If they like that, it doesn’t matter how amazing they are on every other issue, since I think the entire thought process behind it is so deeply flawed and incorrect, not to mention offensive to my preference for meritocracy (another reason I dislike the Miers nomination. There is no way that she’s the “most qualified” female, let alone any, nominee in the country, as Bush claimed). If this is true, all bets are off, and I expect and demand of my senators the bloodiest war ever against her nomination, the president’s political standing be damned.

Isn’t it enough that most of us agree not to vote for McCain? Look what he did yesterday. Affirmative action is not my big issue, so I pass. The UN was mine and W has tried better than anyone else.
