Gentlemen. As much as I enjoy watching the Rep''s fall by the wayside, the issue is not their sexual orientation. Derogatory comments are not necessary, and remind me of a cross between teenagers and bigots. What are your repressed secrets? The issue should be the monumental hypocrisy of them all. How sweet it is.

"Be not intimidated... nor suffer yourselves to be wheeled out of your liberties by any pretense of politeness, delicacy, or decency. These, as they are often used, are but three different names for hypocrisy, chicanery and cowardice." In other words, the Rep''s in spades. Thank you, John Adams.

Maybe the first order of business is to start investigations of crooked Democrat leaders like Jack Murtha, Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi.

This game should be alot of fun.

Bush and the REpublicans had over 7 years to investigate and rope and tie Democrats up in knots--we''re sure they did the best they could (maybe they could not go after Pelosi, Murtha et al without reveal even more Republican greed and dirt also--who knows?

Bu the fact is, Bush had bigger and more lucrative fish to fry, like compromising our energy policies with ENRON, lying to start wars, mfg evidence and outing CIA agents--with all of that and trying to sell our ports to Arabs while simultaneously moving their crony Halliburton to the ME--he had no time to go after Democrats--he was too busy trying to kill Saddam and show his sons'' bullet, bomb shard filled bodies all over international television, while maybe helping Bin Laden hide out. Priorities. Priorities. Seems some of you Republicans were the last to know what your party''s really were. Lmao

Gonzales committed the act of perjury not once, but at least twice. Whether evading the truth is also a crime or if he broke the laws in other ways remain to be seen. But the instances when he:

1. Denied ever being involved in any meeting concerning the firing of the US attorneys--was shown to be a lie early on.

2. lied about trying to get Ashcroft to sign on to the wiretapping even though the man was seriously ill and denying that--was lie number 2.

Republicans may want to spin this to kingdom come, unfortunately for them--each of us can make up our own minds, because we witnessed Gonzale''s testimony on tv and watched him shrink away from answering, and LIE more than once. Spin only works when a limited number of people know the facts and the rest of us have to rely on the most convincing story. We all watched Al lie. Perjury it is, and he should be tried and go to jail for it as well as obstructing justice and witness tampering for trying to match up and tailor his answers to a subordinates sworn testimony. (When he wanted to compare what he "remembered and shared with what Monica Goodling remembered and shared" Criminal behavior.

Ah oH.........a damning public report about how Gonzales handled the process. The investigation (headed by the department%u2019s respected inspector general, Glenn Fine) has already turned up new documents and e-mails about the purge that have not been made public and that are inconsistent with previous Justice Department statements, according to a key witness
Yeah ....trouble indictments...

Quote,

After six years of Congress%u2019s failing to assert any accountability over the Justice Department, the new 110th Congress revealed the ethical wrongdoings of the Gonzales through aggressive oversight. Here%u2019s a review of the record:

%u2013 It was Alberto Gonzales, not Congress, who fired attorneys for political reasons.

%u2013 It was Alberto Gonzales, not Congress, who gave the White House political team unprecedented power to intercede in the affairs of the Justice Department.

%u2013 It was Alberto Gonzales, not Congress, who allowed his department to illegally hire attorneys based in part on their loyalty to the Republican Party and the Bush administration.

%u2013 It was Alberto Gonzales, not Congress, who dissembled and misled about the administration%u2019s spying activities.

%u2013 It was Alberto Gonzales, not Congress, who lied in stating that all Bush appointees would be Senate-confirmed.

Whats he talk''n about amnesty for? Huh? Whats the amnesty? Representing Christianity? Redefining patriotism? Calling everything "national security" so that ya don''t have to be accountable for it? Trying to get the whole country into a war and not telling them why? Instead just being paranoid? Taking all that money? Telling mothers of lost sons they''re unpatriotic? Huh? Whats the amnesty?
