Just think now close Gonzales came to being the first Harriet Miers.

Most people don’t know that Gonzales, an Hispanic, has been the attorney general since 2005. They are just uninformed. Cabinet appointments mean nothing to the typical American today. Most couldn’t name more than two Cabinet members if their lives depended on it.

You are so right, and he goes after Hispanic Border Patrol agents just trying to do the job too. Pretty soon, no one will do the job as they learn where GWB really stands.

Gonzales should go. Between his support for more gun restrictions, some of which are completely unreasonable (such as arbitary denial for 'suspicion of association with terrorist organizations') and his support for 'attempted copyreight infraction' crimes, he's a mess.

An incompetent, powerhungry mess.

I wish we got to express a Vote of No Confidence in Specter

You did, if you live in Pennsylvania.

The Republican voters of PA renominated Specter in a competitive primary, and the voters of PA then reelected him.

What's your point?

The members of Congress should all be made to justify to the American citizenry WHY they should remain in their jobs.

They do that every two years.

The ones who are in there now were just chosen in free elections, six months ago.

What's your point?

Congress, having a 28% approval rating, holds a non binding no confidence vote on Gonzo.

The present Congress had a 51% approval rating on Election Day 2006, which is all that matters.

They are the People's representatives, freely chosen in open elections. They have the right to exercise all the powers delegated to Congress until January 3, 2009.

What's your point?

My point is that Alberto Gonzales sucks.

Also, can’t we make hay out of Dem crucifixion of the highest appointed Hispanic ever in Wash DC?

You would think so, but the Republicans have little spine when it comes to shoving the rats in the face.

Nice of you to greet a FReeper after 13 months, I think.

You forgot McCain-Feingold, and I had forgotten Michael Brown.

Whenever one sees the words “Republican” and “spine” in the same sentence, there is always the word “lack” in there somewhere. Maybe they are afraid of Katie Couric and Brian Williams.

Yes, the people get the government they deserve. And half of them are too stupid to realize what their government is doing to them...the last election proved that.

That would be nice but ALBERTO is a good start - a pro-illegal alien dupe of the Administration.

Don't you find it a little ironic that a Congress, who have essentially received a no confidence vote from the public (28% approval rating) are having a no confidence vote on anyone else?

Also, since votes of confidence by Congress are so frequent, I can't recall the last time one was held.

If Jorge does it, its to save the butt of Carl Rove who probably made up the list, purely for political reasons.

In New Jersey, one of the AG’s scheduled to be axed was the HIGLY efficient and effective and loyal Bush supporting Republican Chris Christie. Christie has made a career out of rooting out official corruption in the Garbage State. He’s becoming a folk hero there. One of his most recent targets has been long-term state Senator Wayne Bryant, a Democrat who had multiple absentee jobs padding his retirement payroll and stands accused of using his position to help his law firm which nets him a fortune.

Christie, a popular guy in Jersey for his muck raking, has been rumored to be a possible for candidate for Governor to run against the incumbent Democrat Lying B@$t@rd Jon Corzine (otherwise know as “Daddy Warbucks”). My guess is Rove wanted to dump Christie to get an Hispanic appointed there as they have a large Hispanic population.

Increasingly, I’m beginning to think Rove is really running the show down there, calling the shots and Jorge just along with him. Gonzales is just a dupe, carrying out Rove’s directives - which are NOT in the best interests of the Republican Party OR of conservatives in general.

So what happened boyo’s? Seem the wishful thinking here didn’t come true this week? How could that be?

So what excuse do the propagandists give THIS week for blowing yet another “news” report?
