U.S. Attorney General Resigns
willie3204 is one of many to mention that U.S. Attorney General Alberto Gonzales has resigned. One of Gonzales' main opponents praised his decision stating that: "'For the previous six months, the Justice Department has been virtually nonfunctional and desperately needs new leadership,' said the Schumer statement. 'Democrats will not obstruct or impede a nominee who we are confident will put the rule of law above political considerations. We beseech the Administration to work with us to nominate someone whom Democrats can support and America can be proud of.'"
He has been a disaster for this country. Good riddance.

Another 16 months of this fuckwad Bush/Cheney administration to endure.
You assume, of course, that whatever "attack" they have planned to allow Bush to declare martial law a month or two before the election doesn't kill us.
Or did you mean that you think it will happen mere days before the election?
"can you imagine how different things would be on the world stage today if al gore was in the white house?"
The US would have been taken over after the entire nation falls asleep listening to his first state of the union speech. Painting GW as a moronic drunk rich kid, and then bringing up al snore in the next sentence is pretty lame. Albert is a C student who really did drop out of school. Feel free to use him as a poster boy for any cause you support.
I think that depends really on your point of view. The facts aren't really in dispute. Clinton committed perjury on a Federal Grand Jury investigation and committed witness tampering (coaching Monica Lewinsky on what to say) with respect to a Special Prosecutor investigation. The witness tampering was over a blowjob, but the perjury was over a sexual harrassment lawsuit. Now, where the point of view comes in is, do you think the crimes warranted removal of a sitting President...and I as a partisan conservative would have to say no. But, I wasn't running the show back in 1998, so my vote didn't count.
Now, with respect to this current President, I think most of the Iraq arguments that the anti-war left are putting out are bogus. The idea that Bush knew there wasn't WMD and lied anyway I think is laughable. Even Saddam's generals thought Iraq had chemical weapons and were imploring him to use them when the US invaded in 2003.
If you want to impeach Bush, impeach him for failing to protect the border. Oh yeah, but that's right, the Democrats are right there with him when it comes to amnesty for illegal aliens. After all, they are the next generation's voters for the Democratic party.
Sure. President Clinton was impeached because he lied under oath to a grand jury and committed perjury, which in this country is a federal class D felony. A man who is committing felonies while in office by obstructing justice and lying to grand juries deserves to be impeached. I'm a Republican, but if Bush takes an oath to tell the truth and then lies to a grand jury I'll support impeaching him to. Felons have no place in the oval office, and Clinton deserved what he got, and in fact deserved to be removed from office because of committing the felony.
Note that the Clinton impeachment really doesn't have anything to do with Monica as affairs aren't criminally prosecuted, but he ought to have been ridden out of town on a rail for disgracing the office in such a way.
Beware of bugs in the above code; I have only proved it correct, not tried it.
There are two words to describe worrying about what Fox News and talking heads say: "No Balls". There's also a word for people who are afraid to take a stand: "losers".
The cake is a pie
No fuckhead, those assrapists at waco were part of GWs current voting base: the totally batshit crazy religious nutbags, and murders, since they fucking started the whole fucking thing by shooting at the cops and killing some. Dumbass fuck.
can you imagine how different things would be on the world stage today if al gore was in the white house?
No. And anyone who claims they can is full of shit.
I find Bush to be a simpering little fuck and I, too, can't wait until he's out of office, but I profiled Gore as having a level of insanity just below the surface way back when he was VP. I really don't want to know how he would have handled 9/11. I do NOT trust that man any more than I trust the idiot Bush.
It's where the dipshits who keep inflicting Ted "Swimmer" Kennedy and John "Traitor" Kerry on the rest of the nation live. I would characterize it as 10,555 square miles surrounded by reality, but its neighbors aren't much better.

"Same with the libs when it's their party who is screwing stuff up; gotta ride that sinking ship right to the bottom. "
This is quite possibly the stupidest thing anyone has ever posted.
How much of a moron do you have to be to think it's the right play to stay on a sinking ship even after you realize it's going down.
You get off, and no one blames you. Unless your thick enough to think one is never allowed to change their minds after being lied to.
Which apparently you are.
I only go to buffets for the unlimited soft serve.
