		<description>I absolutely agree with post #14 that bringing up Mierâ€™s unpaid bar dues is ridiculous. The vast mountain of damning conservative scandals like the Homestead exemptions is under exposed enough without stupid accusations like the unpaid bar bills being aired out.</description>

		<description>One other thing about the Miers Dallas County Homestead Exemption: didn&#039;t Thune use this same issue to slime Tom Dashle via news articles, GOPUSA, and National Review Online, among others? It would be interesting to look at Miers DC property info online, if she owns a place. But to search that website requires an address. Anybody know Harry&#039;s address?</description>

		<description>I always love it when we get to see the true colors of these moralizing, born again christian types. When you manage to get past the perpetual smile they all seem to share all you see is the putrid underbelly of them. None of them have a moral pot to piss in. None of them care either. It&#039;s all about maintaining the grand facade and procuring taxpayer money for themselves as if they are entitled to it.</description>

		<description>I was reposting my comment about the Homestead Exemption on Miers Dallas home on my own blog, and it occurred to me this is Standard Opperating Procedure for the Bushies.  All through his 12 years in DC George H. W. Bush claimed to still be a resident of TX and thus avoided paying District Income Tax to local Dc government (I think W does the same thing).  I would suspect that if Miers is claiming to be a resident of the Dallas home to save on taxes on that home - that she would also be claiming to be a &quot;resident&quot; of that home for her local income taxes and thus not having to pay state or district Income taxes since TX doesn&#039;t impose one.  

(a humorous side note: one of the lesser Enron/Tyco/Adelphia-type corporate accounting scandals involved the Irish pharmaceutical firm ELAN, I notice Miers spells her middle name &quot;Ellan&quot; - obviously just a coincidence - right?)</description>

		<description>Democrats don&#039;t have to pull out all the stops to stop Miers, Republicans are doing that for us. It doesn&#039;t look like Democrats will even have to come out against her before the nomination is withdrawn, so there is still plenty of ammunition left for the next nominee. I don&#039;t think it was a red herring, Bush just tried to nominate an incompetent crony like he has done dozens of times and his popularity has dropped too low to get away with it this time. The national disaster that is Michael Brown didn&#039;t help his credibility either.</description>

		<description>Here&#039;s a &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.dallascad.org/AcctHistory.aspx?ID=00000413884000000#Exempt&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;direct link&lt;/a&gt; to the Homestead Exemption History for Miers&#039; Dallas residence,  It certainly does look like she has been claiming the exemption each year.  per the rules for the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.dallascad.org/Exemptions.aspx#General&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;general Homestead Exemption&lt;/a&gt; (the only one she could be eligible for as a never-married women under age 65) I can only assume that she makes sure she flies down there every New Year&#039;s Day as that is the only day during the year she is required to &quot;reside there&quot; to obtain the exemption.

Here is the full text for that section of the form guidance:

&lt;i&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&quot;General Residential Homestead Exemption

To qualify, the property must be designed or adapted for human residence and the homeowner must own the property on January 1 of the year application is made. The person claiming the exemption must reside at the property on January 1 and cannot claim a homestead exemption on any other property. If more than one individual (not a married couple) owns the property, each separate individual must make application if they reside at the property. Exemptions are allocated according to percent of ownership interest the applicant has in the property. The exemption application must be completed, notarized and include a driverâ€™s license or social security number and date-of-birth. &quot;&lt;i&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;

If she has been claiming the exemption without qualifying, the main concern to me wouldn&#039;t be that she was cheating on her taxes, it would be that she was committing perjury by signing a false legal document.&lt;/i&gt;</description>
