Hola Aberto! I'm having a great time packing lettuce in Mexico and promising your people a big fat amnesty! How do you like my new sweater. Some nice little Mexicans made it for me

Rep. Dana Rohrabacher, R-Calif., has joined a growing list of Republicans calling for the ouster of U.S. Attorney General Alberto Gonzales. "Even for Republicans this is a warning sign ... saying there needs to be a change," Rohrabacher told CBS News. "Maybe the president should have an attorney general who is less a personal friend and more professional in his approach."
Sens. Gordon Smith, R-Ore., and John Sununu, R-N.H., have also called for Gonzales to lose his job over the way the Justice Department handled the firing of eight U.S. Attorneys.

I can't get too upset about Bush when he has these spineless twerps on "his side" in Congress.
This is getting flipping insane.
I'm going to have to change my username. Every day it gets harder and harder to stand by this party of spineless, sniveling wimps!!!
Democrats = Evil Party
Republicans = Stupid Party. "Stupid is as stupid does." (Forrest Gump)
GOP learned nothing from 2006 elections. A political party divided against itself cannot stand.
Democrats circled the wagons in 1990's (1998-...) when "their" President flouted numerous laws, engaged in cover-up and obstructed the investigations. Republicans in Congress cannot be counted on supporting the President and administration that didn't break any laws and constantly under attack. No wonder Bush isn't seeking support from these ingrates whom he helped elect in previous elections. Stabbing your own in the back is no way to win elections - a "lesson" of 2006, and if it keeps going like this, a would-be "lesson" of 2008.
Good riddance, Bert.
The usual suspects who prostitute themselves for face time on TV.
Does anybody in DC know what the heck our laws say? We're surrounded by idiots folks!
the white house is rudderless, leaderless and clueless
The issue is not going after Gonzalez or any other Republican, it's that the Congressional Republicans rarely do it on their own. Instead, when the RATS and the MSM start the wall-to-wall campaign against the Republican target du jour, these so-called leaders of the country start acting like the geekiest high school nerd looking for acceptance from the cool kids.
I hope Alberto gets flushed. It will be karmic payback for not lifting a finger while Border Patrol agents Ramos and Compean got railroaded. F Gonzales and same for Johnny Sutton. I have no use for them
Little Alberto looks dazed and confused at press conferences. Another Bush crony who is way out of his league. I could do a better job standing on my head
I'd have no problem with Bush doing this. It's his call. He should at the same time, however, fire a few more US Attorneys, saying, "It's political. I don't like their priorities."

Hey, I am not going to comment on the relative merits i.e. "yeah, but the dems do worse".
But,
The fact is that Gonzales lied his rear end off about the whole affair. Maybe its not big deal, but he only brought it on himself.
This shouldn't be about revenge. I'm not all for Gonzales because of his membership in Aztlan but, come-on, if we want him out we shouldn't allow the Dems to set a precedent by ginning up a faux scandal.
I know the Donks get another scalp if they oust Alberto. But I don't care as long as he gets the boot. I will never forgive him for allowing the indictment of Ramos and Compean. Thus demoralizing all our Border Patrol agents.
So call it revenge.
BTW Check out wikipedia on Alberto. He admits 3 out of 4 of his grandparents were illegal aliens--->>>
Gonzales told Wolf Blitzer on CNN that no immigration documentation exists for three of his grandparents and they may have entered and resided in the United States illegally ([2]).
These people are politically children, or should I say, young at mind?

Despite the fact that up until now, regarding this case, it has been steady-on-the-wheel, principled, and right on the button. I agree with the earlier comment that it appears that Bush can't catch a break, and your comment shows why.
And so, Mr. President, back to the man's question over there, I'm optimistic. But he helped -- his question was somewhat insightful -- very insightful, because what he pointed out was the legislative challenges that we face. He also made it clear in his question that the administration is very much involved with working with Republican senators to help find common ground between Republican Senators and Senator Kennedy, who is emerging as the lead senator on the Democrat side.Haven't the last six years of Kennedy calling W a liar and roasting him in particular over NCLB enough to finally get it through the President's head not to deal with Kennedy let alone make him out to be his go-to guy in Congress? It's madness.I will tell you, if we can find that common ground, we have a very good chance of getting the bill out of the Senate, because Senator Kennedy is one of the best legislative senators there is. He can get the job done. I know firsthand, because we reformed our education system, Mr. President, with his help in 2001. Not to slip in another issue, but we do need to get No Child Left Behind reauthorized, and I'm looking forward to working with Senator Kennedy on the reauthorization.
It's a chicken and egg thing, and I do not dispute the validity of your point.
But is there any point where you have to say to yourself just WTF are Bush and the repubs doing? They are nothing but a pandering moderate mess right now.
Repubs are simply useless at this point!
For some stupidass reason the majority of repubs thinks this, lay down like a lamb, strategy works. What in tarnation has EVER given these spineless whimps that clue when there never has been success from pushing this pandering to the DBM/dems from the party as a whole?
Where are the conservatives???????????????????
IIRC A. Gonzales's appointment was highly controversial prior to that appointment. Seems this action by GOP is in line with "I Told You So". Many were against his appointment.
Watch your vote.
I am merely remarking that one should choose his targets, and ammunition carefully. Blame Bush for the things Bush is responsible for, and don't blame him for things beyond his control.
Thanks for the update.
Bush has this weird public strategy called "Compassionate Conservatism" which is an absolute joke and he's taken it too far. I'm afraid almost Everything Bush does, he does by trying to kow tow to the DBM/dems. It's a useless strategy, and for everything that is sacred and holy I don't understand why REPUBLICANS as a whole can't figure out no matter WHAT they say or do is going to be scutinized anally by the DBM/dems.
There's no question the repubs have to figure out a way to kick these sorry ass moderates and rinos out of this party or it will die.
This is really, really stupid. There's as much substance to this as the Scooter Libby charges. What the heck is wrong with Republicans to allow this?
Tempestus teapottiaus
Gonzales is not one of our own, he's one of the moderates own a and a buddy to our globalist traitor president. Good riddance.
And you're going to get your members where? From the Republican party, that's where, so you have the exact same people. Won't help a thing and will actually make matters worse as the truth is that in order to win elections, we need each other. We have to try to pressure these twits to see the light.
Sens. Gordon Smith, R-Ore., and John Sununu, R-N.H = cowards
Can you imagine Conservatives with our own party?
Who the hell would run?
As soon as his hair is mussed, his base, instead of handing him a brush, would start a star search for someone prettier.
You got it. If conservatives want their own party, it's ok with me to simply change the name of the Republican party to the Conservative Party but you would still have the exact same people and with all the human traits you had before.
"What the heck is wrong with Republicans to allow this?"
Exactly!
Republicans are total wimps when it comes to fighting lying, coniving Democrats.
This issue of firing the 8 US Attorneys is as phony as the Scooter Libby fiasco but reality doesn't matter with the voters--it's perception.
George Bush's favorite saying the past six years has been:
"Hit me again, Democrats. Hit me again! Ooooh yeah. That new tone feels sooo good. Hit me again!!! Now, how bout a few punches from the Demo-network-reporters. Ahhhhh yeah. That's what I need. Here's my other cheek. Hit THAT one too. Aren't you all impressed at how much of a gentleman I am?? I'm riding above it all. Aint this fun?"
Just what, exactly, has that pipsqueak Bert Gonzales done to ear the defense of freepers? I honestly can't think of one good thing the dude has done.
I agree with you, No more money from me to the RNC untill this stops
I say cut off 10% of the west coast (plus Alaska, and Hawaii) and 10% of the east coast... and then we will have a human Republic :D
I don't feel sorry for this shmuck. He can always get a job in Messsssico working for Calderon. Any selective law enforcement LEO has no right working for the US government.
the man simply cannot recognize evil right here at home
'aw shucks, it's just politics, haw haw'
even donald trump has the sense to retaliate against a fat stupid bastard dyke should they attack
bush is beyond gentlemanly - he is a fool and a wimp
Four years ago I would have agreed with you.
But it is NOT the FR base who has been hiding under their desk sucking their political thumbs these past four years!
It's so-called President Bush (and most other Repub leaders in WashDC).
And lest you call ME a Bush basher, let me assure you I am one of those who not only worked on his campaign as a volunteer, I would have walked the earth barefoot over broken glass for him .... right up until this year.
NOW I see GWB in a different light. This 'turn-the-other-cheek crap has ruined his Presidency. This 'new tone' baloney has allowed the Demo-network-reporter-libs to stomp his agenda endlessly, due to the fact GWB refuses to stand up and fight back.
Aside from his ONE ISSUE, Iraq --- GWB has turned out to be a complete wimp.
And lest you be tempted to also add the War on Terror as one of his "good" issues, let me remind you how GWB has completely compitulated on the terrorist-wiretap issue, not to mention the Libby-Valerie Plame issue.
I'm afraid GWB has suffered a mental breakdown.
Oh, it's not outward. It's inward, in his soul, where all Presidents REALLY formulate their legacy.
I have been so loyal to this President and the GOP these past 15 years.
THAT's what really makes me ill in this whole matter.
Cool, a mental-breakdown surely is grounds for impeachment.
Let's roll!
