President Bush said Wednesday his advisers were telling conservatives about Supreme Court nominee Harriet Miers' religious beliefs because they are interested in her background and "part of Harriet Miers' life is her religion." "People are interested to know why I picked Harriet Miers," Bush told reporters at the White House. "They want to know Harriet Miers' background. They want to know as much as they possibly can before they form opinions. And part of Harriet Miers' life is her religion."Hard to believe only a few months ago White House staffers were telling everyone then Judge Roberts's religion shouldn't be considered in determining his suitability to serve on the Supreme Court.
The White House was right then just as it's wrong now.
What the White House is doing flies in the face of the Constitution's ban on a religious test for office.
Most conservatives won't support what the White House is doing, but they'll be tarred by the Dems and MSM with the "religious zealots" label.
The White House is using a repugnant and dumb tactic born of desperation. It can only hurt the President, his political allies, and America's constitutional fabric.
Please contact the White House. Remind people there that when a ship's been hit by a torpedo, the emergency response pumps are for getting water off the ship, not bringing more on board.
Everyone needs to join in what is now a rescue operation.

Their behavior is inexplicable. This includes calling the base sexist. It is beyond my understanding.
