Gonzales must never be confirmed or this will be Nazi Germany |
|
at its worst. He would not hesitate to kill and torture all Democrats without trial. Listen to his reasoning during the hearings. Did you sign the Geneva Conventions? If not, he has the right to torture you.

Do you have to remove the tin foil hat before you sleep? Or, do you get some of your best images while in REM sleep?

5. Drama Queen Nomination in the making |
|
Edited on Fri Jan-07-05 04:48 PM by Mistwell
Any time you compare the opponant to Nazis, particularly "Nazis at their worst", I think it's fair to say you will be nominated for a Drama Queen thread :)
There is no need to exagerate. The facts speak for themselves without hyperbole that just distracts from the credibility of the legitemate argument against Gonzales.

I really feel like we are back to a moment in time, Gonzalez is but a puppet.
Poppy Bush will be pulling the strings whoever the AG is, Poppy is in charge.

For the record, fuck Gonzales. But he's better than Ashcroft by a confortable margin.
His stance on torture is appaling. Sadly, I believe he will be confirmed.

who the hell are you to draw conclusions about my standards from one short statement?
You obviously misread the statement, to top it off. I said he is better than ashcroft, which he is. I didn't say he measured up to my standards, and I didn't say that being slightly better than satan is acceptable, either.
I just made a point, intended to put things into perspective. And yes, the nazi germany comparison is melodramatic and entirely inappropriate.

12. I said on another post |
|
that if we were entering Hitler-land, all the dems who stood up and spoke yesterday would have been taken out and shot in the head. We're not there yet. Yes, there are problems; yes, the republicans seem to have all the power now; but we can still speak our mind here without getting killed (usually).

26. When Gonzalez was a judge on the Texas Supreme Court, he was |
|
one of the more moderate members (hell, he's one of those who criticized Bush judicial nominee Priscilla Owen as a right wing activist). This, of course, does not excuse his god-awful torture memo, but he's certainly among the least right-wing of Bush's nominees and a damn sight better than Ashole.

Democrats will be heading to the gas chambers and the ovens for sure if Gonzales is confirmed! Gonzales is dedicated to the complete annhailation of the Demoratic race.
sigh.
Yes I'm new. And I'm sure I will be tombstoned for disagreeing with a bush=hitler thread.

He seems to be more moderate than expected. I assume Bush learned his lesson about blatantly religious extremists from John Ashcroft. But that's not as good as it seems. Now Bush can make his attempts to unify church and state more covert than ever.
Some are suggesting that the Democrats block the Gonzales confirmation, but what's the point? Even if the they had the power to do so, Bush chooses the attorney general nominees. He can keep someone as bad or worse than Gonzales in the position until someone gets appointed. So the country gains nothing from keeping Gonzales out of the Bush Administration.
