Comments on: Gonzales Admits Mistakes In DOJ Firings

Attorney General Defends Removal Of 8 Prosecutors, But Takes Blame For How They Were Fired

[skyk-2009]

It seems like every other day SOMEONE in this Administration comes out admitting "Mistakes were made". They then proceed to get someone under them to admit they were responsible, throw them under the bus and think we should just go on, business as usual. This is either the most INCOMPETENT bunch to ever be in Washington or the most Corrupt. Either way it all starts and stops at the top with Bush and Cheney.

oh - this time it is again the "so much regretted" subliminal stuff. How many weak minded believers left?



"What happened was the gradual habituation of the people, little by little, to be governed by surprise, to receiving decisions deliberated in secret; to believing that the situation was so complicated that the government had to act on information which the people could not understand, or so dangerous that, even if people could understand it, it could not be released because of national security ...
To live in the process is absolutely not to notice it -- please try to believe me -- unless one has a much greater degree of political awareness, acuity, than most of us ever had occasion to develop. Each step was so small, so inconsequential, so well explained or, on occasion, regretted.
Believe me this is true. Each act, each occasion is worse than the last, but only a little worse. You wait for the next and the next. You wait for one shocking occasion, thinking that others, when such a shock comes, will join you in resisting somehow.
Suddenly it all comes down, all at once. You see what you are, what you have done, or, more accurately, what you haven't done (for that was all that was required of most of us: that we did nothing) ... You remember everything now, and your heart breaks. Too late. You are compromised beyond repair. "

LOL I don't think Herr Gonzales would agree! LOL

You need to tell the truth. When Clinton was in office he fired ALL the U.S. Attorneys. So, Bush only fired 9. What's the bid deal.

You're going to find out. You fascist are given a talking point, a short line that you can remember and that's supposed to address the whole issue. NO PRESIDENT has ever made the Justice Department Political. The American People have a right under our constitution to KNOW that they are going to see justice done regardless of the party. NO Attorney General has gone before Congress and outright LIED. I'm tired of the Bush Gang, their FASCISM and their LYING. They think they can throw one of the underlings under a bus and everyone will be happy. Like the Senator said yesterday, NOT THIS TIME. All Presidents fire the Attorney's at the begining of their term NOT in the middle and NOT for Political Reasons. Sieg Heil

Just their attempt to murder law with courtroom politics. Nothing is sacred to them and we all pay the price.

Wake up america. Everyone of the worst Bush administration scandals has involved ONE man, Carl Rove. Abromoff's previous chief-of-staff is now Carl Roves'. He was involved in Enron, Libby, voter fraud in Florida 2000, swift boat lies, and many others, and now, the Friday night Massacre of U.S. Attourneys for political payback. Of course, in this latest scandal Democrats have blood on thier hands too. They went along with the Unconstitutional Patriot Act, and are equally responsible for the change in the law which inspired this fascist-like event.

jbinthe757, I realized very early on AOL was a pig...that organization showed its face as a big unethical pig capitalist that tried to dominate the internet as if they owned the intellectual property rights to something that all of us collectively built through the university system paying our taxes. Another example of corporate theft was the 1 dollar a tree our corrupt and pimped politicians handed over big companies like Weyerhauser so they could sell uncut logs from public forests to Japan at a profit. The Japanese processed the logs into wood products and sold the product back to us. The american people could have managed to round up the vessels needed to ship these logs to Japan and kept the profits for our countries infrastructure but instead this went into the hands of a private company. We have committed business idolatry....the real corporate efficiency rests in putting huge sums of cash into the hands of a small number of traitors and threatens to strip us of a representative government.

Gonzales says he's accountable like any CEO of any major organization. Apparently this guy doesn't see himself as a public servant or he would say he is accountable to the citizens of the United States of America. Multinational corporations have dangerously infiltrated our government and are replacing a representative government with one that serves big corporate multinational fascist's interests. Whether you are democrat or republican you must conform to this groupthink ideology. You cannot think outside the box these androids are building. You are either with them or against.

this is the same thing he said about the King of Thailand. i dont like Karl Rove one little bit, but comments like this are unacceptable, against a king of another country, or the jester to our king in washington!
