Harriet Miers -- her pastor's view

[snowbird42]

I talked yesterday with Miers' pastor, Ron Key, who for 33 years (until a few weeks ago) was pastor of Valley View Christian Church in Dallas. “She started coming to church in 1980. She helped out with kids, made coffee, furnished donuts, served on missions committee. She worked out her faith in practical, behind-the-scenes ways. She doesn't draw attention to herself, she's humble, self-effacing." Key has still seen her in recent years because "her mother is 93. Harriet tries to get home as much as she can." When Key and Miers met in 1980, "I don’t know how strong her faith was at that time. She came to a place where she totally committed her life to Jesus. She had gone to church before, but when she came to our church it became more serious to her.... Our church is strong for life, but Harriet and I have not had any conversations on that…. We believe in the biblical approach to marriage."

3. Lauras best friend brought her closer to Christ

Questions are being raised about Harriet Miers' politics because published records show her making contributions of $1,000 to Lloyd Bentsen in 1987, Al Gore in 1988, and the Democratic National Committee that same year. Hecht says, "She was a Democrat years and years ago, in the early 80s." As far as the late 80s contributions, "If she did it, it was because the firm made her do it." She is loyal to President Bush and he to her: "The president demands a lot. The people he's loyal to are productive." Miers and Laura Bush are "very close. Harriet just loves Laura, has the deepest respect for her. Laura has migrated in her faith, it’s stronger than when she got to Washington.”

6. I wonder if

Laura's faith change had anything to do with " we are going to get RICH George" !!!

7. Even if she weren't a "committed" member, would the pastor say so?

He probably gets a little payoff from the BFEE slush fund to speak out on her behalf.

Based on the Falwells, Robertsons, and Dobsons of the world, it is certainly within the realm of possibilities that these 'godly men' take money.

8. Why is it weird to me that her pastor is even being interviewed?

Your faith should be personal and not used as advertising.

10. Maybe a bunch of legal scholars saying "Who?" or "Bwa-ha-ha!" looks bad.

Who else could they interview besides her pastor? An actual scholar? A constitutional theorist? A top journalist? A former clerk?
Please, they gotta interview somebody.
