GOP Calls Mount For Gonzales Ouster (Repubs are eating their own)

The President cannot catch a break because he acts like Charlie Bleeping Brown with the RATS, particularly Ted Kennedy. The excerpt below is from the President's joint press conference yesterday with Mexican President Felipe Calderon. It comes directly from the White House transcript (President Bush and President Calderón Participate in a Joint Press Availability) The bill in question is immigration reform, but note the expansion of the topic in the President's answer to a reporter's question on the bill:

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.

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.

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.

So true. The Dems support of their own during the Clinton Administration was absolute. Where were the calls for Janet Reno to resign after Waco or Elian Gonzalez? The Republicans can't play the political game like the Dems do.

It's a chicken and egg thing, and I do not dispute the validity of your point.

[sirchtruth]

I agree with the earlier comment that it appears that Bush can't catch a break, and your comment shows why.

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???????????????????

[rockinqsranch]

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.

[LibLieSlayer]

Yeah, President Bush should appoint a real winner like the honor-less janet elrenio! We have not had a good Elian or Waco styled suppression of Constitutional Rights since she served.

Watch your vote.

[1rudeboy]

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.

[gathersnomoss]

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?

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.

[Conservativegreatgrandma]

Conservatives should form their own party.

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

[roses of sharon]

Republican/Conservative office holders simply reflect their constituents.

FR is their constituency.

When a new smear comes along, FR (like DC), would rather dump the ones being smeared, than fight it out with the DNC/MSM.

Happens EVERY time without fail, just ck the threads, they go way back.

[roses of sharon]

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.

[Conservativegreatgrandma]

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!
