- Vet,
The majority you speak of are not aware of the case. That majority would answer yes to just about any question that were asked of them just to get off the phone so they could eat dinner.
Like I have said before, Bush should have fired ALL of them from the start like most Presidents before him, including the beloved Clinton. - Reply to this comment
- "...Is there anyone now not believe that CBS news has a left wing bias? 36% percent say Gonzales should quit?!..."
Ooooh!! Me! MeMeMe!!
Oh, wait. You weren't really looking for an answer on that, were you? My bad.
For the slower members of our studio audience--the NEWS is the change from what's current. How is it news to talk about how many people want him to stay when he's still in office? That's cheerleading, not news.
If CBS has a "liberal bias" they would have rigged the survey, and manipulated the results, so they can have a 70% think Gonzo should quit.

- Is there anyone now not believe that CBS news has a left wing bias? 36% percent say Gonzales should quit?! Why doesn't this story lead with 63% of Americans say he shouldn't quit. But I think we all know the answer.Heaven forbid that CBS put a positive side to a story. Just goes to show no matter how hard CBS tries to create a scandle when there isn't one, all they can come up with is 36%. Pitiful. No wonder they are losing veiwership. You know you can still report the news objectively and still have a positive perspective!

- "Questions from CBS Pollster:
1) You do believe that AG Gonzales is lying about the firing of these poor, innocent attorneys recently, don't you?...

Um, toolman? Sorry, tcoleman12: That joke might have worked better IF THE QUESTIONS WEREN'T QUOTED IN THE ARTICLE.
And I think it's a HOOT that your "Question 2"--which I'm assuming is your lame attempt at satire--IS EXACTLY HOW IT SHOULD BE!
The Justice Departmentshould not have to answer to the White House for anything, and be allowed to do their jobs without obligation or favor.
Be off with you. Back to Fox Noise. - Reply to this comment
- Questions from CBS Pollster:
1) You do believe that AG Gonzales is lying about the firing of these poor, innocent attorneys recently, don't you?
2) Don't you think that AG Gonzales should resign or be fired for his bullying and unethical firings of these poor, innocent attorneys who were just trying to do their jobs and should not have to answer to the White House for anything? - Reply to this comment
- "...Somehow, I believe that if this would have happened under Clinton, no of you leftwing nutcases would have anything to say about it.

Ah. But it didn't. And that cr@p goes both wats. IF IT HAD, something tells me that you wouldn't be making excuses for a Dem Atty Genl. There wouldn't be any cries of "you're not psychic! you don't know what's going on in other peoples minds!" if Janet Reno was the one testifying. - Reply to this comment
- If he lied to Congress he is ethically not fit for office. If he told the truth he is grossly incompetent. Either way, he should resign. If he fired 10% of his most important employees while knowing nothing about the situation he is grossly incompetent.
The only way he might stay is if he has information on the President and/or Vice President that is worthy of impeachment. - Reply to this comment
- It;s all ego w/ li'l Georgie, He knows Gonzo is goin' down ,... he just wants to rub salt in the wound,... and say "F" you... He's like the little Kid who takes his ball and goes home when he realizes he can't win the game,...Incidently,... All of his old friends and relatives,, say he was like this as a child and young adult,... George and Barbara should have done a better job...oh well.

- Are republicans just liars or do they fail to get the facts? Good Grief, how can continue holding up the policies of liars and thieves-even at the demise of American justice?

- Do you know for a fact that he did that?
Posted by Infidel_US at 10:47 AM : Apr 19, 2007
He lied to congress and the American people. And, did so on tv, with his own mouth.
According to the standards set by the GOP controlled congress, that is grounds for impeachment. - Reply to this comment
- Another misleading CBS headline.
The story begins fair enough, referring to "people familiar with the case." But, then cites "all Americans" in its headline.
The majority of Americans do not know who the attorney general is, or what he does. So how can their opinions be considered worthy of the headline?
52% of those "familiar with the case" think Gonzo should resign, including me. - Reply to this comment
- CBS has failed 3rd grade arithmetic here. This is pathetic. First, the article subject says 36% say he should resign and none of the numbers in the the survey matchg that.
Next, the numners in the should he resign survey don't add up. How can Democrats, Republicans, and Independents all have above 30% unsure and the total has 10% unsure?
For shame CBS. Come back when you learn to add. Better yet, fire the person responsible for this pathetic work and get someone competent to add, subtract, and divide! - Reply to this comment
- Bush and his whole cabinet should resign!!! Posted by grumpas at 10:20 AM : Apr 19, 2007
They will. Once you renounce your American citizenship and leave the country, they will resign. Fair enough? - Reply to this comment
- The focus of the Attorney General must always be the law of the United States. Playing politics with the hiring and firing of the District Attorneys should never even be contemplated let alone pursued as a policy. Mr. Gonzales should therefore resign immediately.

- Bush and his whole cabinet should resign!!! If a one of them had an ounce of ethic's or moral's they would! But, I won't hold by breath we all know how many ethic's they have!

- "The bottom line is, the story headline is very misleading in favor of the GOP, a tendancy of the MSM that doesn't seem to be waning.

And a tendency that the wingnuts are oblivious to, since they only see what they want to see. - Reply to this comment
- Why doesn't this guy just resign?
He can't win, why is he holding on? - Reply to this comment
