Yeh...let's melt the whole lot of them congress critters....

In moves designed to, yet again, work towards placing members of the Bush Administration (specifically the Left’s favorite whipping boy — political aide Karl Rove) in jeopardy, Democrats and their supplicant RINOs have launched their latest of an increasing number of investigations into anything and everything that is “Bush and Republican”.
This time it is a Democrat attack against the firing of a number of US Attorneys in an attempt to have Attorney General Alberto Gonzales fired and top Bush officials grilled by a Democrat-run investigatory committee. This seems eerily reminiscent of the old USSR politburo.
First, allow me to place something out into the open and the bright light of day. US Attorneys hold their offices at ‘the pleasure of the President of the United States’ and are at-will employees. These attorneys may be fired by any current POTUS, at any time and for any reason. That is what “at-will” means.
As an example, during Democrat President Clinton’s Administration all 93 US Attorneys were fired. President George W. Bush has fired only 8. And during President H.W. Bush’s term of office, US Attorneys were also fired. But, President G.W. Bush is not being afforded the same “rights” as are other presidents.
Democrats are now loudly shouting — if not yet overtly at least implicitly: “President George W. Bush does not have the same rights as other presidents of the United States!” And they have been saying it almost since the first day President George Bush took office.
Most certainly, Democrats and their RINO supplicants have been attempting, for the last several years, to usurp the Executive Branch’s war powers. Will there soon no longer be a Commander-in-Chief but, rather a “Congress-in-Chief” to direct our US military?
The Stalinist crowd has made the decision that being a Republican president — or just being Republican period (unless one is a RINO) — should now be against the law.
This same crowd, which includes the top members of the Democrat Party, has also made the decision to eternally investigate and attempt to prosecute them via their liberally - stacked court system — for being Republican.
And, due to the raw reality that a majority of government school attendees have been indoctrinated into Marxist-Stalinist ideologies, much of the younger voting population may agree with them. Throughout their tutelage, these students have not been taught either the true history of the United States or the verity of its laws. They simply do not know any better.
The central problem with this entire issue of US Attorney firings is that President Bush and members of his administration have not (as has sadly and dangerously been their penchant of late) fought back against the leftists.
Instead, there seems to be a continuing knee-jerk reaction toward a new policy of constant apologies. And instead of defending the legal privileges of the Executive Branch of government, US Attorney General Alberto Gonzales immediately offered his mea culpa for having let 8 (not 93) US Attorneys go.
Mr. Attorney General: There is nothing for which you need to apologize! Instead, the Democrat leadership should apologize to you and President Bush. It should also beg the forgiveness of the American people for wasting their tax dollars.
Yes – we pay for all of these Congressional investigations. However, it appears that Democrats have no intention of asking forgiveness for wasting our time, tax dollars and the improper usage of investigatory committees.
While you still are able to do so (there is yet another Democrat bill floating in Congress to disallow conservative grassroots organizations and individuals from advising the public to complain to their congress people and senators), contact your local congressional representatives and your US Senators to express your opposition to these absurd actions. You and we have a voice. Let’s use it.
There is something implicitly and inherently wrong with a government group that has nothing better to do than begin and implement trivial and ludicrous investigations.
And there is an even greater wrong affected by those who allow it to occur.

I like the rest of what she had to say also .. and many others have been saying the same thing. I believe the dems have gone too far with this witch hunt against the WH. I called my rep, Feinstein today and politely told them this "witch hunt" against the WH was outrageous, and it saddened me to see the "esteemed senators" acting like petty little children. I got dead silence on the other end .. must have left a mark!!
First, it may end up in the firing of Alberto Gonzales, who will go down in history with Ramsay Clark as one of the WORST attorneys general ever.
Second, Bush fired the wrong U.S. attorneys - he should've canned Johnny Sutton!
The only thing sadder than this Dimwit publicity stunt is the administration's impotence in defending itself.
They need to send an articulate spokesperson up there and invoke McCarthy. Everytime a lawmaker starts fillibustering, this spokesperson needs to cut him short: "Sir, I am sorry but your subpoena requires that I appear as a witness, not a spectator for your political grandstanding. I will be happy to return when you want answers to your questions." Then walk out and hold a press conference in the lobby, accusing these folks of political opportunism in the extreme..
The Dims obviously can't do anything relevant, and they are going to fund the war. So they are trying to cover their asses with their base with smoke and mirrors. It could be that the administration is letting them get away with it because Bush doesn't want to endanger the war funding. But it is sad, oh so sad. The MSM is lapping it up hook line and sinker.
Yeah, me too. But Bush's statements reflect that he does see (FINALLY) that the dems are out to take down the whole admin if they can get away with it.
I believe the words "show trials" was the key that indicated the WH was on to their little Fitz deal.
So much for San Nanny's fair and ethical congress... what a bunch of rotgut crumudgeons....can't believe what tripe America elects to government. Dems are stank and GOP is spineless....what a ship of fools in D.C.
If it is as important(to him)as his illegal immigration program then I suspect he will stand his ground. Otherwise we will witness another 'backbone transplant' to the dems.
**G.W. Bush: The Only President Not Allowed to Fire US Attorneys **
It's the dimocrats' fault, this time.
Is the Congress melting down?
Yeh...let's melt the whole lot of them congress critters....
Could be. Leaky Lehey nearly had a stroke today. Maybe if they keep it up they will all become medical cases.
At least W has O'Reilly out there informing his audience that one of the fired attorneys was a Republican that nobody liked, another was a Democrat that the Democrats wanted removed. O'Reilly was mystified that the administration wasn't putting this info out.
He[President Bush] was the one who authorized the Fritzgerald fiasco.
He should have never did that. He also should never have appointed the 911 "Commission" whose sole purpose was to cover Bill Clinton's ass and implicate him.
He should have done battle with the Democrats from the first day he took office instead of kissing their asses.
The Democrats will never be satisfied with anything other that his total and complete destruction. And they will use any means at their disposal to accomplish this.
They have the same goals regarding Conservatives and Christians also.
GREAT POINT!!
What we all need to do is contact our congress people (hopefully GOP), and rattle their cages a little. Either they stand up and support the President and the fact that this admin HAS DONE NOTHING WRONG IN FIRING 8 ATTORNEYS - or we'll pull the money plug and let them all fade into oblivion. If they like being out of power .. we can arrange it.
I'm sick of these lilly-livered do nothing congress people who don't have the courage to stand up WHEN IT'S TIME TO STAND UP - IT'S THE RIGHT THING TO DO. They don't have to support Bush .. they can just support the fact that the admin did not do anything illegal - NOTHING!! It's more than past time for the other members of the GOP to speak out and confront the dems on this FAKE AND PHONEY "SCANDAL".
If they can't stand up and defend what's right .. then they cannot expect us to stand up and defend them if need be.
GET OFF THE COUCH EVERYBODY .. TELL YOUR CONGRESS PEOPLE TO GET WITH THE PROGRAM.
Did Bush fire all clinton's US attys when he took office in '01?
bttt
No! That's unfortunate but there may have been a good reason.
Because it took several weeks for the President to even get to the WH - what with the recount after recount after recount and trips to court, etc. .. hitting the ground running was important. To have to stop and regroup and select 93 attorneys and get them through the vetting process may have seemed like the last thing they wanted to do .. considering all the other items they were already behind on.
Of course, in hindsight .. it might have been a better solution. At least the GOP was still in charge of congress and hopefully would not have made a stink about it.
Thanks. How many of clinton's US attys survived, and for how long. Didn't W eventually get rid of them?
