Too Many Friends!!!!

This one has loyalty to that one.

This one’s job was with this Administration and this guy thinks this guy should quit because of what he “THINKS” he may have done of course with no REAL documents or proof just SPECULATION (so what there’s a war going on and more important things like terrorists - and I mean those who terrorize our CONSTITUTION)

And we talk about WOMEN with Drama and Hormones!!!

Who the heck is LOYAL to AMERICA and its people???

Can we have someone fight for US without all the who is whos friends?

We all KNOW whereEVER you go friends get in first, so WHO is going to be the FRIEND of the AMERICAN people if all these Politico’s are busy Making friends, backstabbing, finding loyalties?

What IS THE JOB of the DOJ??

What IS the JOB of the FBI??

Maybe we ought to Start with a BASIC EDUCATION of what these TWO entities ACTUALLY are SUPPOSED to do, match up to their CURRENT activties, make a REALITY show out of it and see what AMERICA REALLY THINKS!!

Not enough Americans are informed on the REAL issues but we all KNOW the REALITY TV Version of who does not like who for what reason and who his loyalties belong to as well as if its partisan or political or selfserving….

NOW Hillay is in the game (I’m SICK to think of it..)

We know who they are, what they can do, what many will do so NOW WHAT??

Is Political, Legal, Constitutioanl and Historical education (also defining roles of DOJ and FBI) the key or more for REALITY TV??

PS:
I should also say that who the heck thinks Bush wll get who wants to head DOJ if Gonzales goes. He certainly could not afford to take a Democratic offered compromise. DOJ is already infected with Dem. holdovers.

It is clear that the Dems smell blood in the water and are doing what any opposition would do. However, it is demeaning of blindly spout forth the talking points as laid out by the MSM and the Dems.

You may think Gonzales is a buffoon. That’s fine. Hang him for what he did not what he did not.

Jumping on board with the Dems. NSA interrogations is also strange. The Dems are trying to force the administration to reveal classified programs. Then they will impeach Gonzales for doing so.

You acceptance of the fact that the dems will not pass any nominees for DOJ positions until Gonzales goes is also interesting. This may be a political reality but whatever happened to fighting congressional blackmail?

Crust, it is sort of the opposite of President Clinton’s problem - the Clinton administration had concluded that Janet Reno was a disaster to them as AG, but they could not get a replacement they wanted confirmed so she stayed in place long after the Clinton’s wanted her to go.

What happens if they get rid of Gonzales and don’t replace him? Is there a problem with having an Acting Attorney General for the rest of Bush’s term?

No one, with the possible exceptions of Bush and Cheney, actually think Gonzales should be where he is. Even if Bush and the Democrats can’t find a new AG both sides can live with, is that really such a problem or at least any worse than the dysfunctional situation at the DoJ we have now?

Nah…no need for Gonzo to go.

As long as the Dems are content with kicking him around, they won’t be passing any laws. And, if they aren’t passing any laws, then they aren’t hurting anyone.

Gridlock - the true conservative’s best friend.

AF #10,

I’m glad you enjoy reading a mature, thoughtful adult discussion on an important topic. Try it sometime.

“It was easy for the President to ignore the braying from the Asses like Schumer, Leahy and Durbin. But, if Mueller throws down with Gonzales, the President has only one option, and that is to pave the way for Gonzales to exit gracefully.”

Gracefully.

“The night before the government secured a guilty plea from the manufacturer of the addictive painkiller OxyContin, a senior Justice Department official called the U.S. attorney handling the case and, at the behest of an executive for the drugmaker, urged him to slow down, the prosecutor told the Senate Judiciary Committee yesterday.
John L. Brownlee, the U.S. attorney in Roanoke, testified that he was at home the evening of Oct. 24 when he received the call on his cellphone from Michael J. Elston, then chief of staff to the deputy attorney general and one of the Justice aides involved in the removal of nine U.S. attorneys last year.
Brownlee settled the case anyway. Eight days later, his name appeared on a list compiled by Elston of prosecutors that officials had suggested be fired.”

JD’s essentially right. And anybody that the Democrats would confirm, would be unacceptable to the base.

As it stands now, no one can be confirmed to any position in the Administration. Only Recess Appointments are possible.

This is all about Bush and the Democrats finally getting a chance to settle scores. They don’t care about the NSA program or national security. If the Congressional GOP would clean up their act, the performance of the Dems the past few months, and the months to come which look no different, would return them to the minority, at least in the Senate. Unfortunately, the Ted Stevens wing of the GOP seems, like the Bourbons, to never learn anything or forget anything. They may face the Bourbons’ fate if they don’r wise up.
