Was Alberto Gonzales name dragged through the mud for partisan politics?

[hfojvt]

That's what Bush claims.

"“It’s sad,” Mr. Bush said, asserting that Mr. Gonzales’s name had been “dragged through the mud for political reasons.”"

Here's a sample of when Republicans questioned Gonzales' character:

17 march 2007 - John Sununu calls on Gonzales to resign.

26 mar 2007 - 3 Republican Senators voice fresh concerns about Gonzales.

15 mar 2007 - Republican Gordon Smith of Oregon calls for Gonzales resignation, Republican Norm Coleman says he is "deeply concerned about how (firing the attorneys) was handled"

Oh well, another day, another lie from Bush, another attempt to blame Democrats and politics.

1. YES--for *'s politics n/t

[MADem]

2. Yeah....and there were WMDs in Iraq, and we really DO want 'im, dead or alive! nt

8. Kay Bailey Hutchison said Alberto was a great guy. So it must be true!

She also said that Larry Craig was misunderstood.

[Bucky]

3. Yes. The party offended was the United States Constitution.

Gonzales was attacked by all those Bill of Rights fanatics who think it's wrong to destroy the foundation of our civil liberties. Damn those partisans.

[rucky]

4. K to the R

the Constitution has been dragged through the mud for partisan politics.

Here's the pattern, if you haven't figured it out by now:

GOP: Bully, provoke, provoke, provoke

DNC: Fight back with rhetoric

GOP: Ignore

DNC: Start to take action (or not)

GOP: Retreat & Paint themselves as a victim.

Lather, rinse, repeat.

6. LOL, wonderful! n/t

[hfojvt]

12. in one sense though, taking Gonzales out was bi-partisan

That some Republicans will either draw the line somewhere or bow to pressure from their constituents. Now if more of them can be pressured to impeach Cheney, or appoint a special prosecutor...

5. Dragged through the

mud my ass, he (Gonzales) dived head first into that mud puddle on his own by politicizing the DOJ and now Shrub want to blame the Dem's, BULLSHIT!

[Webster Green]

7. They should drag Gonzo through the mud.....then tar & feathers..

..maybe a round or two of water-boarding, and then off to prison for a couple hundred years.

[Booster]

9. Nah, Gonzo waddled in the mud all by himself. He just took the

rest of the country through the mud with him.

[spanone]

10. he was inept and shit on our constitution....they went easy on his traitorous ass....imho

[Jack Rabbit]

11. Anybody who says so is a partisan hack

Gonzales has resigned, but neither he nor many others in the Bush Junta have gotten all they deserve.

[Disturbed]

13. Busholini is an arrogant, lying, vapid Silver Spoon Sociopath.

If the USA were a Parliamentary System he might have lasted a week before he was kicked out of Govt.

[UTUSN]

14. *or* was MUD dragged through GONZALES?!1 n/t

[B Calm]

15. It's a republican trait to point the finger.. They are always innocent!

[Beausoleil]

16. Gee, I thought it was for

impeding a bi-partisan congressional investigation!
My bad.

[JackBeck]

17. I don't know why Bush even bothers anymore.

The vast majority of Americans knows that anytime he opens his mouth, lies are being told.

Practically no one cares what this evil bastard has to say anymore.
