Gonzales Would be Betrayal Plus Infamy.
Illinois Leader ^ | Tuesday, September 20, 2005 | Andrew Longman

Gonzales Is Still Betrayal

OPINION - Katrina is still roaring, Roberts is still smiling, committees are being formed and attention is elsewhere.

That is to say that there is no one paying attention to the formative moments coalescing in George Bush’s heart as pertains the next Supreme Court nominee. G. W. Bush needs to be reminded forcefully that Roberts is a betrayal to the pro-life movement and Alberto Gonzales would be betrayal plus infamy.

There is a reason that George Bush is in office.

It is tens of millions of born again evangelical Christians, the “values voters” who went to the polls to put him there in order to reverse the moral decline, the complete public slide of our country into anarchy.

They believed him when he said “Scalia or Thomas”.

They believed him when he said that every person should be welcomed into life under the protection of the rule of law.

There are many other litanies we could recite together but the bottom line is: he was believed.

Mr. Bush, you do not fulfill your promise to your conservative base by nominating someone who is don’t ask, don’t tell, on every issue of moral significance which you promised to be unabashedly for.

You think yourself very clever but we do not share your self evaluation. Mr. Roberts to you is a home run. To us he is a bottle of snake oil we bought under false advertising.

If President Bush nominates Gonzales the Gun-grabber he will be making a huge mistake.

Hear, Hear.
What's your source on Gonzo's 2nd Ammendment heresy?
I'd like to see that gets publicized.
What a nerdy thing for Gonzo to do.
Just goes to show: Bush is about loyalty to Bush
more than about loyalty to right ideas.

I think Roberts will be a strict Constitutionalist.

If he's not, the Republican Party is finished.

But ehn what is a strict constitutionalist? I hope it means somebody who believes in original intent.

Putting this doofus in the position of AG was betrayal of Bush's conservative base.

His actions in doing so indicate to me that he was merely using conservatives to get electged and relected.

Now that he no longer needs us, he scorns us.

A DOJ-BATFE industry notice.

I don't have the text handy, but I think it is still up at the ATFE site, probably under legal notices.

This C**P did not originate with ATFE, it came from Gonzo's DOJ.

Since you ask, S.I.A. = Special Interest Arms

http://www.specialinterestarms.com

I never understood "screen names", so mine is just my first name and my company initials.

OK, so it's not very imaginative, so what?
