bill1fj, then ALL Democrats should also resign from Congress, because it is their Political Correctness and the laws they have passed over the past years that have created much of the problems that you point to. What did they (Dems) do for the 40+ years they controlled Congress towards getting Americans healthcare? (Remember, it took a Republican controlled Congress to pass the FIRST prescription benefit EVER). What did the Democrats do regarding illegal immigration for those 40 years (nothing). What did they do to STOP the illegals from getting the FREE healthcare (nothing, because they were too busy kissing the Hispanics and the illegals *****, and they were afraid of PISSING OFF the same ones who vote to get them elected every time. Please, wake up and grow a brain.....

McCain has caved to the extreme left with this one!!! First, NO LAWS have been broken. He (Gonzales) can fire anyone he wishes for any reason he wishes. It may **** US OFF, but it doesn't rise the the levels of being against the law. Get over it Dems. Quit wasting our taxpayer dollars and our Confress' time fretting over a non-issue.

so McCain's said he would cut off excessive funding. I take that to mean the extra funds for the troops, their housing in the states and the schools their children go to, the new v-shaped Humvee that the army says will protect better against the IEDs and that you Senator McCain used while you were in Iraq or what about the extra money for the veterans a ministration and the hospitals it manages. So tell me what would you cut down of this budget? And tell me again how your supporting our troops by doing so and how this the administration with it's fine shrubbery is supporting our troops by vetoing this very necessary piece of legislation.

Oh, gosh, now that McCain has been Bush's toady for six years, he is going to state his opinion that this lying, criminal, ammoral, POS, AG should step down so he isn't a drag on poor little King George. JOHN, what is the matter with you. This is the same Gonzales that, in his legal opinion, decided that it was okay to torture prisoners under our control. John you should really love that idea.

Resign Alberto.
McCain should also think about resigning, or retiring. He hasn't done his job in congress.
The middle east is in a mess. Millions of illegal aliens in the country. Companies and individuals endangering us all by hiring illegals with no fear of reprucussions. The lack of health care for millions of legal citizens is apalling, while billions are spent on health care for illegals.
Our education system needs to be improved. Badly.
McCain has been in congress while all this has happened and he has done very little.
Yep John - You should resign too.
Thank You

Two things to comment about what McCain said. First, Gonzales should not resign out of loyalty to Bush. That is not a good reason in the present circumstances. McCain did not have pants enough to say that Gonzales should resign because he is a proven liar and a proven incompetent. Second, McCain seems to be hung on the scare card. Withdrawing from Iraq will bring terrorists home. It will create a chaos in Iraq. And what is what America has created in Iraq? Isn't it chaos what we have there? He tries to scare us with his statement that terrorists will come here. Come on, McCain! Are you sure staying in Iraq or leaving Iraq will make a difference? Where is the connection between one thing and the other? Do you still believe in the lies aired by Bush and Cheney to justify the attack and invasion of Iraq you voted for?

Friends of Bush can get away with anything!

You have to wonder, how much does one of these 'friends' have to do in order for Bush to say enough is enough?!

Rape a 10-year-old?

I'm sure somehow Bush and his Neo-Con lemmings would probably find fault with the 10-year-old, and not the 'friend' who raped him.

C'mon people, think! If everyone is out to get Gonzales, what does it mean? It means he must be doing something good.... C'mon, think it through. How could all of those people hate him unless he was doing something right.

I'm sorry, what? People hate people when they're doing something right? By that logic, Hitler must have done more good things than any other 20th century leader, because he was so universally hated.

It's usually the case that people become upset with other people when they do something WRONG, like Gonzales has done from day one (torture memo) to today ("I don't know" 70 times in one day).

It's not that he did anything right or wrong. At the Senate hearings they handed him a piece of paper with the list of names of the attorney's to be fired. They asked him who sent it to him - he didn't know.

So he doesn't know who sent him the list, but he fired the people on it, because it said to? I sure hope Bush doesn't get a piece of paper telling him to launch nukes somewhere!!

The level of incompetence in the republican party is just terrifying!!!
