On Thursday, Tony Perkins, president of the conservative Family Research Council, called the administration's efforts to woo religious conservatives by stressing Miers' religion "out of bounds."
"We are the last people on Earth to object to the news that she is a committed Christian," Perkins said in a statement. "By the same token, this fact is not grounds for certifying her to us or to the public. ... Inferences drawn from an individual's religious affiliation have no place in decisions to nominate or confirm a judicial appointee."
Jan LaRue, chief counsel of the conservative Concerned Women for America, issued an extensive position statement Monday, saying, "We find it patronizing and hypocritical to focus on her faith in order to gain support for Miss Miers."
Am I going crazy, or are some conservatives actually making sense?

Perhaps these fairly sane conservatives are finally recognizing Bush for the zealot he really is. I mean really, "God told me to give the Palestinians their own state, and by god I'm gonna do it."
Total horseshit. And really, isn't citing religion as a reason for her nomination the exact opposite of keeping church and state separate?
Yeah, when I read a similar article about this I was shocked.
The religious-evangelicial-conservatives have followed lock-step behind Bush for so many years and, seemingly, without ever asking any questions.
It's refreshing to realize some conservatives are actually *thinking* before they support him.
