I wonder what he has on Bush..... just a thought...



Bush doesn't care about the constitution or America either, I'm more wondering about Congress.


Yes, I miss the good old days when more than 12 members of Congress had the balls to impeach an administration run amuck. If Watergate happened today, it would be forgotten in a week.>:(

You mean this guy?>Gonzales Was Told of FBI Violations
After Bureau Sent Reports, Attorney General Said He Knew of No Wrongdoing

By John Solomon
Washington Post Staff Writer
Tuesday, July 10, 2007; A01



As he sought to renew the USA Patriot Act two years ago, Attorney General Alberto R. Gonzales assured lawmakers that the FBI had not abused its potent new terrorism-fighting powers. "There has not been one verified case of civil liberties abuse," Gonzales told senators on April 27, 2005.

Six days earlier, the FBI sent Gonzales a copy of a report that said its agents had obtained personal information that they were not entitled to have. It was one of at least half a dozen reports of legal or procedural violations that Gonzales received in the three months before he made his statement to the Senate intelligence committee, according to internal FBI documents released under the Freedom of Information Act.

The acts recounted in the FBI reports included unauthorized surveillance, an illegal property search and a case in which an Internet firm improperly turned over a compact disc with data that the FBI was not entitled to collect, the documents show. Gonzales was copied on each report that said administrative rules or laws protecting civil liberties and privacy had been violated.

Because god wills it? Because W wills it? Because we've allowed the media to become marketing tools of DC and no one gives a crap? Maybe because the American people of today are too comfortable to take to the streets as done in the early 70's?
Because he knows where the skeletons are buried? Perhaps he has pictures of W having sex with a sheep?
Then there is always the flip side, maybe he's doing a great job and the American people are the ones with the skewed view??

In the end, does it really matter? he's just one more capo in the don's big family. The Bush administration is a hydra.

Despite two opportunities (see www.dropzone.com/cgi-bin/forum/gforum.cgi?post=2879366#2879366) it seems that not even our most devout right wingers will come to Gonzales's defense.:S

Its just more efficient then conducting a big trial, spending millions in legal fees, finding the guy guilty, and then giving him a pardon.

I don't know. Perhaps you could ask the people who control Congress.



Congress has no control over members of the Executive after they are confirmed..... ESPECIALLY when they will not even be sworn in for testimony....

And use EXECUTIVE PRIVELEDGE...

Like I said he must have some really good dirt on the Shrub... maybe his REAL medical records from his "service" in the National Guard. Or maybe the tests done when he was arrested for drunk driving...

Or maybe some of the under the table deals that have bailed the fearless leader out of bankruptcy....while the rest of his investors in the companies he was running tanked.

You mean Congress can't force Cabinet members out of office? How come the "No confidence resolution" failed to move forward?

He has no respect for Dems, he's just a guy that is really good at pissing off libs.



He only pisses off the libs that associate with the Democratic party. All the libs who call themselves Republicans are brainwashed into thinking that supporting him makes them conservative.

So, we can't let the system run for him huh? I thought the system, that you defend so hard for Libby, says he is inocent until found guilty and hell man, he hasn't even been charged?

So which is it ? Should the system be allowed to run or not? Hhhhmmmmmm?

Just correcting your logic, mate. (1) We don't know if he's done anything illegal or not. (2) He can be dismissed without having been found guilty by a court. A "Caesar's wife" kind of thing.

Has he even been accused of doing anything illegal?



Nice benchmark to hit there bubba...

Remember all the rhetoric about morality and dignity that was going to be returned to the highest office in the land... GW has failed miserably at that... and brought along a whole group who were incapable of it as well. Instead we have an entrenched group of political hacks pulling shenanigans that would make 19th Century Boss Tweed proud.
