ATTORNEY GENERAL ALBERTO GONZALES, A GOOD MAN DRAGGED THROUGH THE MUD

Attorney General Alberto Gonzales announced his resignation today effective September 17. President Bush reluctantly accepted the resignation stating, "After months of unfair treatment that has created a harmful distraction at the Justice Department, Judge Gonzales decided to resign his position and I accepted his decision."

The President further stated that Gonzales was a good man who was , "dragged through the mud, " for political reasons. Democrats have been after Gonzales almost since he was first appointed Attorney General more than two years ago.

Now as a result of a scandal that was only a scandal in the eyes of power hungry and vindictive Democrats a good and honest man whose reputation and name have been dragged through the mud unnecessarily has stepped down from the office of Attorney General so that the Justice Department can work as it should without the shroud of ridiculous Democrat investigations hanging over the AG.

Democrats have succeed in pressuring Gonzales into leaving amidst false allegations of illegalities in the firing of eight federal attorneys whose job is at the discretion of the President and as with any job if the boss decides that it is time for them to go then they are terminated.

Every President since the formation of the federal attorneys in the Justice Department has hired and fired attorneys whenever it was deemed necessary and in almost every instance in numbers vastly larger than eight. In fact most President's replace most if not all federal attorneys either at the beginning of their Presidency or in the course of their years in the White House.

It has been stated time and again as an example that Bill Clinton fired 93 at one time while President and no investigation followed since it is accepted that the hiring and firing of federal attorneys is at the discretion of the President and handled through the Justice Department and the office of Attorney General who is their immediate supervisor.

That is until Democrats in this Congress saw an opportunity to play political games with the firing of the eight and since the first months of this year have had hearing after hearing investigating Gonzales over the firings and each hearing came to no conclusion except to have another hearing. Alberto Gonzales finally resigned after being fed up with having his name and reputation constantly being slandered by liberal Democrats who sought nothing but blood from some member of the Bush administration.

This entire fiasco over the firings has been Democrat politics at its worst, yet the very Democrats who have slandered and accused Gonzales falsely this day are patting each other on the back and in some back room meeting deciding which administration official they will go after next for the sole purpose of dragging them through the mud and destroying for the sake of destruction only.

Democrats have searched without evidence anything they could drum up to scandalize the Bush White House. Everything from the non-existent , "outing, " of Valery Plame, to false accusations of the VP and Haliburton and now the resignation of Alberto Gonzales over normal Justice Department procedures in the firing of federal attorneys.

Democrats who are in the majority ONLY because of a back lash against the GOP, still understand that they cannot win at the polls by stepping into the arena of ideas and having a serious discussion of the issues. So their usual strategy is to search for scandal, make false accusations and play these both in the media wing of the Democrat party to gain a political advantage at the expense of good public servants and the nation.

The real losers in this Democrat sponsored fiasco are the American people who had to suffer through wasted Congressional time and money that should have been used for the best interest of the public and not a witch hunt for Democrat power grabs and of course the loss to the American people of a good and faithful public servant in Alberto Gonzales, a good and decent man.

Good riddance to bad tools.

Mr. "I can't recall" Gonzalez dug his own grave from the time he signed on with this cabal.

"Yassah Mr. President, dat torture stuff sho nuff legal suh. Now let me go fetch mo signin' statements fo' ya. Dat mean ol' Congress just don't know its place, do it suh? Passin' laws you don't like, askin' you to obey that Constitutin' thang. Lawdy, Lawdy, Lawdy...."

A Stepnfetchit had no place as the Attorney General.

This is outrageous.

How the Democrats took NOTHING and made a SOMETHING out of it, constantly hammering on this man and destroying his career, and getting away with it is absolutely insane.

And they wont let up.

All this over 8 fired US Attorney's that serve at the pleasure of the President.

Where is the outrage over Clinton fireing 93?

A "Stepnfetchit"? How absolutely insulting, and that little rant insulting blacks isn't funny. Considering Gonzales isn't black, it's also quite stupid.

I agree, Ken. The Dems hounded the man half to death. Their hypocrisy knows no bounds! He is a good and decent man and I was quite disappointed to hear that he resigned, but I don't blame him for it. Day after day after day of such nonsense would drive a person mad! Even so, I do wish he'd have stuck it out, as intolerable as it must have been for him. I hate the fact that the Democrats can now gloat.

Hey cranky old fart, meet your worst nightmare.

I remember the fool of Attorney General we had under Billy bob blow job Clingon who also fired more staffers than what President George W. Bush did.

But the Idiot Chuckaduck Schumer was just playing politics with this like we all know he was. But of course all people who have an IQ above a single digit level knows that but sorry to say cranky old fart you don't make it to that level.

Speaking of Janet Reno now she was a real winner, she set fire and burnt up all them women and kids down in Waco Texas there, I hear that she is still being spotted ever so often when a Scientist thinks that they spotted a Yeti.

That's right cranky old fart, you're group the Liberal Scumbags even look like a Wookie.

Phil,

I was just thinking of that.

Janet Reno, Clinton's Attorney General's biggest achievement as AG was declaring war on the "Branch Dividian Compoud" IN WACO, TEXAS!!!

Some AG she was.

What a crowning acheivement.

"Stepnfetchit?"

What is it with these openly racist moonbats? They've poisoned the well of political discourse and then later will complain about a lack of civility.

Crawl back under your rock Old Fart before someone takes away your Social Security and Medicare.

I'm becoming a believer in Euthanasia.

I think he just had enough "of being drug through the mud" and I don't blame him. Yes, it does give the dems another thing to gloat over and more ammunition. Next we will hear them saying that he resigned because of guilt or some nonsense like that. They can't see the damage they have done nor do they particularly care. Anything to get a shot at the Bush administration.

I actually think this was a politically astute move on the part of the President.

He is loyal to his people, and has remained loyal to the AG from day one. But we are entering campaign season. The dems got lucky and obtained power with ton of promises that they haven't kept.

The US Atty firing was political cannon fodder that occupied the dems for a long time. By removing this media driven affair, the dems have one less thing to carp about. Now that the poverty rate is down, Rove is gone, Libby is gone, the surge by many accounts is working, the US has remained safe, and the economy is still roaring, what is left to discuss except for failed promises from the left?

I know there are some issues with the housing market, but in my area we have the highest employment rate in history, and it is difficult to fill the relatively few jobs that are available. The White House needs to spend more time patting itself on the back.

We can win in '08, and with all of the political non-issues being resolved, the dems will be doing the dog paddle for the next year and a half to stay afloat.

That truly was a great comment, Robert! The White House truly does need to spend more time patting itself on the back. You said a mouthful! :)

Thank you. I guess that was my one moment of brilliance for the year...
