Get Gonzales Gone

White House enveloped in deepening federal prosecutors' probe as attorney general fights for his job

In my opinion, Gonzales should be fired for being stupid enough fire all those people at the same time, and not think that people would look into why. They tacked on a couple more people who may have been needing to get fired, but the San Diego US Atty is the one that really makes the firings odorous since their supposed reason of not enough immigration prosecutions is like firing a cop for not writing enough parking tickets while he's been busy catching murderers or effectively stopping gang violence. She was busy catching some pretty corrupt people, it doesn't matter which party they belong to because it's something that needs to be prosecuted to ensure that our political system remains fair to all.

It's just absurd. It's stupid beyond belief and maybe that's an indicator how much pressure was put on Gonzales, because nobody gets to his position being that stupid. Only Rove would have the gall and arrogance to push it to that point thinking there would be no consequences. This should make you wonder what all he's gotten away with to think that way.

I think Gonzales should not have allowed the firings. If the White House, Bush, threatened him with either going along with or getting fired, Gonzales should have chosen to get fired, which would have been pretty risky for Bush because doing so would show him to be directly within the loop of what was going on and why. You'd think after DeLay and the other corruption cases that Bush and Co. would tread a little more carefully in DC's current culture of corruption... but no.

I can tell it's going to be a choice of which evils can you live with in the next Presidential election. Right now I don't like any of the front-runners. For instance, McCain. I like him on most all issues, but any candidate who wants to impose their personal religious belief on people, most of whom disagree, then there's something wrong with that. I have no desire for America to become a theocracy, which Republican candidates in general seem to wink at.

And I have no desire to see the US lose in any military conflict, which Democrats appear to not understand. Yes, everyone wants us out of Iraq, but not until we WIN first. I just don't think Democrats really understand the people they claim to speak for, maybe because they're too poll driven.

NEway, politics right now is pretty scary no matter which party you choose. And this Gonzales debacle is just another instance showing how even our system of government can fail.
