Comments on: Schumer Calls For Gonzales's Resignation
Appearing On 'Face The Nation' Schumer Says Gonzales Behaving Like A Lawyer For Bush
- BLUESTARDAD;
The American people have been conditioned to be sheep. They will follow whatever their leaders say. Sadly this has been happening for many years. One of thye first was the Emancipation Proclamation. Now I am not a racist, not do I support the slavery institution. But, the War was not fought to free the slaves. Lincoln himself said if he could heal the nation without freeing a single slave, he would. That war was fought for economic reasons from the North, and for states rights from the South.
The forced freeing resulted is hard feelings that seem to persist until today. - Reply to this comment

I myself voted for Dubya. I felt he was the better choice of 2 evils. Let's see, the first election the Dems proved one thing, if at first you don't suceed, cry whine and moan for multiple recounts.
And the last thing we needed was Frankenstein-looking Kerry. I Hope there is someone better running this next time, for dear lord we do not need another Clinton or Bush running this country. Maybe someone who has not been in politics since Christ was a corporal can do some good for this country. Oh, and for all the Libs out there who said," Well the election is behind us and Bill is the president, even if you didn't vote for him, let's all get behind him since he is the president."
Why have I seen none of this sentiment for Bush? - Reply to this comment

All I know about Schumer is that he was one of Bubba's slavering gun grab hounds. I did try to listen to him once during Clinton's reign and found that usually he went back to crying about those evil, wicked, murderous guns. - Reply to this comment
- Appeal for Redress
Sign this Appeal.
This site is an Appeal For Redress in support of our mission in Iraq.
An Appeal For Redress is an authorized means for active duty military to submit a grievance to Congress. It can be signed by Active Duty, Reserve, or National Guard military personnel.
It is authorized by DoD Directive 1325.6 and DoD Directive 7050.6.
The wording of the Appeal for Redress is:
As an American currently serving my nation in uniform, I respectfully urge my political leaders in Congress to fully support our mission in Iraq and halt any calls for retreat. I also respectfully urge my political leaders to actively oppose media efforts which embolden my enemy while demoralizing American support at home. The War in Iraq is a necessary and just effort to bring freedom to the Middle East and protect America from further attack.
If you are active duty, reservist or national guard, please Sign this Appeal.
Most service members fully support the war in Iraq and feel calls to retreat by Congress and attacks by our media on our conduct and mission act to motivate our enemy while demoralizing our support at home, directly increasing the threat we face and resulting in greater American casualties. This Appeal for Redress provides a way in which individual service members can appeal to Congress to fully support us and actively oppose media attacks on our mission and our morale.
This Appeal will be delivered to members of Congress.

- Alberto Gonzalez is the tip of the iceberg. A jagged mountain glinting beneath the waves is the real danger to our ship of state. The Patriot Act and the Dept of Homeland Security cloud the waters and in his murky environment hides a radical neocon third party, created by those eager for power, wealth and world domination.
Our government has been highjacked and a parallel system, fueled and protected by unwitting Republican partisanship, has been operating to evade the rule of law and circumvent oversight. The attorneys were fired for not shielding friends and persecuting enemies. This is a small fragment of a much larger picture. The office of the vice presidency is at the core of the iceberg, secretive, calculating and distaining the %u201Cg*dd*med piece of paper%u201D called the Constitution of the United States. George, D i c k, Rummy, Alberto, et al, repeat McCarty%u2019s tactics. Substitute the word terrorism for Communism in the following:
%u201CHis primary achievement has been in confusing the public mind, as between the internal and the external threats of Communism. We must not confuse dissent with disloyalty. We must remember always that accusation is not proof and that conviction depends upon evidence and due process of law. We will not walk in fear, one of another. We will not be driven by fear into an age of unreason, if we dig deep in our history and our doctrine, and remember that we are not descended from fearful men.%u201D %u2013 Edward R. Murrow. - Reply to this comment
- The things that will destroy America are prosperity-at-any-price, peace-at-any-price, safety-first instead of duty-first, the love of soft living, and the get-rich-quick theory of life. Theodore Roosevelt

Care to tell us all when and under what conditions these statements were made LARS? You see YOU have the same problem all Fascist have. You can't quote from your own kind because THEY, like you have never actually DONE anything. You can only quote from old DEAD Liberal's and you can't reveal who they were fighting and why they were fighting because that would reveal the HISTORICAL YOU. sieg heil. - Reply to this comment
- I have read in various blogs from conservative posters that Bill Clinton dismissed all U.S Attorneys upon assuming office. Yes, and every president has that perogative. George W. Bush exercised it as well.
Bud Cummins, a Republican U.S. Attorney from my state of Arkansas, who was one of those fired, told Dan Eggen of the Washington Post that he was surprised to find out that a Karl Rove protege was taking his job. This prompted the Justice Department to call him about his interview with the Post. Cummins then crafted an e-mail to his former colleagues, warning that the Justice Department would come after them if they, too, spoke out.
Along with shock, there is rage that Alberto Gonzales, with the White House%u2019s blessing, has tampered with the long-standing tradition of changing U.S. Attorneys only when an administration changes hands, unless a prosecutor engages in misconduct. To my knowledge that is certainly not the case with Cummins.
Of course, U.S. Attorneys serve at the pleasure of the president. But something tells me that something much more sinister is at play here and it leaves a rotten taste in my mouth! - Reply to this comment
- Mueller and Gonzales admitted they committed crimes. Why aren't they in jail or out on bail pending prosecution?
Promising to not commit future crimes does not eliminate prosecution. If it did, we could close down all criminal courts and empty all the prisons.
Those "law and order" Repubs sure seem to have a flexible definition for what constitutes "getting tough on crime."
George Bush is the worst president in US history and should be in prison. Along with his entire administration. - Reply to this comment
