The Democrats don't care about the attorneys, they just want to make the Republicans look bad, and the other way around, too. That's just how it works, we just go along for the ride. The only time we benefit is when one party takes the other one down a notch.

Has there been such a vindictive administration, ever? There is a long list of respectable people, Republican Cabinet members, Dept. of State, Dept. Homeland Security, Generals, and of course, a CIA agent, who have been fired or outed for disagreeing with George Bush. Is there anyone out there who thinks Patrick Fitzerald did a hatchet job in his last case? This prosecutor has a resume which resonates with brilliance. Yet, he almost gets the ax under the Bush Administration. To compound matters, Bush will appoint cronies in extremely important positions despite having these appointments blow up in his face. Apparently, no lessons are ever learned, nor minimal support from Congress or the American people deter this President from these destructive actions. Currently, Alberto Gonzales will either resign (fired), in which case he becomes the Scooter Libby of the Justice Dept, and a nominee process will then commence................. or he continues as A.G. and answers questions under oath (enjoy your free time Alberto). Defenders of Bush can rant all they want concerning Clinton or some Nixonian grudge (no really), but this guy will become the biggest loser in the history of the U.S, and we have all suffered.

There is a difference between:


(A) Firing all 93 Federal Prosecutors to clean house when a new President takes over, and

(B) Firing selected Federal Prosecutors because they will not go after Democrats.

That is exactly what this means to Bush haters. His appointees are "cronies" His "firings" were political. His WMD's were lies. His potential pardons are political. Nope but not my guys. That was way different.
Clinton hired a bunch of republicans, right? His WMD's were honest and real, His firings were, what, merciful? His pardons were what, just?

Hypocrite

Bush might be within the law, but people still have a right to know why it went down.
I agree. He's within his rights, but I still want to know what's up.

PatsSB42, not sure if we've sparred in the past...but I love a good back and forth. welcome to the political board and heres to spirited debate! having said that......

They were fired for not investigating DEMOCRATS.....if they were fired for not invesigating criminals, you might have something. The only shred of something here that you might have to hold onto is the fact that these lawers serve at the presidents whim.

There is a reason that congress is looking into this, there is a reason the administration has already pointed the finger 3 times, and is not forthcomming about this. The whole thing is a little F-ed up.

The e-mail trail will serve the JUSTICE we both desire.

we shall see what happens here....
