Rohrabacher becomes #3:
CBS:
More Republicans called for his ouster, and one Republican strategist close to the White House told CBS News that Gonzales is “finished.”
Congressman Dana Rohrbacher became the latest Republican to say Gonzales should go, reports CBS News White House correspondent Jim Axelrod. “Even for Republicans this is a warning sign … saying there needs to be a change,” said Rohrbacher. “Maybe the president should have an attorney general who is less a personal friend and more professional in his approach.”

Comment by Alberto Gonzales
They just amp up their everyday blibbering crap.
March 15th, 2007 at 9:43 pmWe need him to hold on until Rove is subpoenaed. Why settle for one when you could get two or more?

Comment by Zooey — March 15, 2007 @ 9:43 pm
It helps when they have the retired *diaper-brigade* spewing the crap all over the tubes. The old b*st*rds are scared out of their wits, and will repeat the st*pidest crap - because they don’t know how the *tubes* work yet!
Once an adult, twice a *child* really comes through when you see a juvenile 75 year old pr*ck like Jake. How he got through his entire life, being such a complete fool is a miracle!
March 15th, 2007 at 9:51 pmThe problem is, even if Gonzalez goes, the political appointees stay, and the investigations which triggered the firings remain closed.
Gonzalez, too, is a pawn who has outlived his usefulness.
March 15th, 2007 at 9:52 pmIndeed, Fritz. Good point.
In fact, I’m a little peeved that this is moving so quickly. No reason why the process shouldn’t be proloooooonnnnged for a month or so. The story is wonderful for setting a perfect contrast between conservatives and progressives, and I’d hate it to be resolved too quickly by Gonzo getting the early boot.
I’m just saying. We need them to circle the drain a while…
March 15th, 2007 at 9:52 pmVVGFU,
How do you know Jake is 75?
March 15th, 2007 at 9:54 pmHeh…I like that hypatia’s father…”circle the drain.”
March 15th, 2007 at 9:55 pmHow appropriate.
C’mon trolls & assorted Bush cultists, Gonzalez (one of your Dear (mis)Leader’s henchmen) is in trouble. It’s time to use your old worn-down rhetorical crutches:
“But… but…. Clinton! Liberals! Uh, oh, Islamofascists! The troops!”
(Maybe you can do it before someone points out Rohrbacher is a Republican. Hurry, do it quickly!)

I think that he meant IQ, not age.
March 15th, 2007 at 9:57 pmI just wonder what they will scrape off the bottom of the barrel to replace Gonzo. Lieberman isn’t a lawyer is he?
March 15th, 2007 at 9:58 pmI wouldn’t get all excited about these Republicans ‘eating their own’ just yet. There are a few likely reasons these a**holes are speaking up now, and all of them disingenuous.
1) They are about to get caught themselves in this monkey business and are doing some quick backtracking.
2) They don’t want their electorate to think they are involved.
3) They are lying to make it seem as if they object to the Chimp-in-Chief’s policy, but they secretly continue to support it wholeheartedly. This is a ploy to entice Democrats into a bipartisan effort which will, no doubt, be bogged down by subsequent partisanship and parliamentary largess.
Every time a Republican speaks out against Bush, it turns out that that very same Republican continues to offer up the rubber stamp. There is no point even reporting what these liars say.
To hell with them and Faux News.

That’s what he said - I believe him. He sounds like someone suffering from dementia.
March 15th, 2007 at 10:00 pmYes, it is going too fast. They are dumping Gonzo to cover for Rove and…wait for it…Bush. I’m from TX. I’ve watched him for years. When he said he gave no specific orders I knew he was lying. He gave orders for at least one attorney to be fired for not being, and I quote, “a loyal Bushie.” I’d bet there is evidence in writing of this. Even if we can’t impeach for it I really want to see this in the MSM.

March 15th, 2007 at 10:11 pmThese Senators are traitors and should be treated as such. Bush needs to dissolve the Senate, send all Senators to forced labor camps, and rule by decree. As soon as we win the War on Terror, Bush will give up his powers and we can return to democracy.
If we keep letting this treason happen, we are going to be overtaken by Muslim killers. F##k all you libs.
March 15th, 2007 at 10:12 pm#1 - hypatia’s father,
March 15th, 2007 at 10:13 pmYou must mean this one. The resembalance is uncanny!
Gonzales may be thrown under the bus, but he’s dangerous to Bush and Rove. Gonzales, Rove, and Bush practially grew up together (politically speaking)—Gonzales has a lot of crap on his two buddies. B,G, & R: The Three Musketeers…or is it Stooges.
March 15th, 2007 at 10:15 pm#17
You’re right. They get rid of Gonzo quickly before he can be supoened again. It’s all Gonzo’s fault, see? The flap over a new AG will make an enormous distraction. Rove escapes again.
March 15th, 2007 at 10:15 pmYou’re right. They get rid of Gonzo quickly before he can be supoened again.—gogreen
He can still get supeanaed even if he resigns.
March 15th, 2007 at 10:18 pmThey are talking about calling Meirs. She resigned months ago.

I pointed out in another thread that you are being sarcastic, but you keep forgetting to use the /sarcasm indicator. People will start to think you actually mean what you say.

March 15th, 2007 at 10:23 pmWayne, yes he can get supoenaed again. I think it would give them some breathing room, though, and maybe make Rove a little tougher to get at

Firehead…as long as you want to suspend the constitution (sounds about par for a bush cultist fascist ), can you have the caval appoint me president? I have built a special concentration/re-education camp (Gitmo like) in Tennesse and want you and your ilk to come for a vacation there so I can try some new antiGeneva convention methods of behavior modification. Its called “Camp Troll”. I look forward to my appointment.

March 15th, 2007 at 10:35 pm#33, I’m not trying to be funny. I belive in a strong executive branch. I believe in America. I believe in Bush. I believe in democracy. I belive in crushing terror.
All you libs want us to lose the War on Terror. You want to appease the terrorists. You want to cut n’ run from Iraq. Me? I wanna fight. I wanna win. I want all the terrorists hanging from a rope. And if that means we have to overrule the Constituion for a little bit, that’s fine. I would rather be alive. Heard of mushroom clouds? And the Constituion is not a suicide pact. Honest Abe Lincoln said that. And soon, you’ll remember Honest George Bush, a war hero for democracy and freedom. Pelosi and her hack cronies will be remembered as the modern day Chamberlins, while Bush is remembered the Churchill.

The hallmark of a true brownshirt: Feigning respect for democracy when they actually loathe the free exchange of ideas.
The one thing that is clear is our new troll is a blind follower of the Bush personality cult.

You wanna fight from your keyboard. Why don’t you join?
In case you missed it I posted the Republican Iraqa study groups pullout plan. Reagan pullet out Beruit, Bush Sr from Iraq. Nobody here appeases the terrorist FH, the reality is this war is harming our economy, with no economy and America taking loans from China to help support this war is the reality.
Sure, you want to fight, like some playstation game, the reality is much different and your only thinking on one level.
If you have read Hillary wants to keep troops in Iraq and Israel doesn’t see conflict as the solution.

I’m curious, fireant, who told you we want to lose the War on Terror? Seriously, I want to know.
Are you in the military? That would be your best opportunity to fight terror and win.
March 15th, 2007 at 10:46 pmFirehead use that brain of yours and search out what real analysts say.
March 15th, 2007 at 10:48 pm“Bush is remembered the Churchill.”
if churchill turned a blind eye toward the saudis even though the i.s.g. reported that they were giving money to the sunni insurgents in iraq who are responsible for the majority of american casualties, then you might be right.
March 15th, 2007 at 10:48 pmDamnit firehead your thinking locally and not internationally nor historically, you are allowing your hate to rule your emotions and painting humanity in very narrow group think terms.
You cannot think rationally if you allow bias to rule you.
Do you understand?

Reagan cut and ran, a Republican, Bush Sr. cut and ran, a Republican, Iraq study group, Republican, has plans of protecting the troops by redeployment. There is nothing ‘liberal’ about these plans. It is a reality.
Moderation brought N Korea back to six party talks, not war. Iran is currently going the way of N. Korea, they realize that they cannot fight economics.

I, sadly, agree. Firehead apparently doesn’t see the bigger picture. Perhaps then ignorance is bliss. I wish somedays myself that I didn’t know what I do and could return, and forget, what I have learned and the reality that television isn’t.

kinda ironic that you’d write that in a post on dana rohrbacher. when you find pictures of a dem rep chillin’ with the taliban, let me know.
March 15th, 2007 at 11:07 pmIf Gonzo resigns, will that have an effect on the investigation and threatened subpoenaes?
March 15th, 2007 at 11:11 pmI want him and Rove and Meirs and anyone else possible to testify under oath. If he’s gone that will still occur won’t it?
(btw I wonder if Specter is feeling any embarrassment for not putting AG under oath two years ago?)

Hey Zooey - this might have been answered already but yesterday when the real veterans were asking him why he didn’t go to Iraq since he is such a fan he mentioned that he was 75.
March 15th, 2007 at 11:13 pmI guess that’s why he didn’t want to tell me where he allegedly went to law school.
Mr. Rove? You have been served.
March 15th, 2007 at 11:13 pmFirehead, your words don’t advocate democracy - look at what you write here — you advocate a monarchy. And a bad one at that. A dictatorship.
March 15th, 2007 at 11:15 pm#66 I think he went to Constantinople U.
March 15th, 2007 at 11:16 pmNot to worry about the quick outing of Gonzalez. If they’re dumping him so fast they’re probably trying to cover something else up by nipping this one. And hell hath no fury like a pissed off unfairly fired attorney.

March 15th, 2007 at 11:23 pmIf our mentally challenged troll is any gauge of the remaining 30% who still support this administration, the country’s political system is in much greater danger than I imagined.
These 30%ers have pushed the definition of “conservative” so far to the right that they even have re-defined the word “democracy” to mean something of a mix between fascism and old style monarchy.
It is rather upsetting to read their posts, defending a political move that has even Republican lawmakers holding their nose in disgust.

Ok, now it falls into place. I saw that he didn’t want to reveal personal information — because it’s against the TP rules. Yeah, right. I’ve put up my frickin’ email address before!
It seems like telling someone you’re 75 is personal information, so I guess Jake picks and chooses when he obeys the rules.
Saying what law school he attended, if any, would be less personal, since it would have been 50 years ago.

3,000 people a month die from the flu in the US.
Since 9-11-2001 3,000 people have died slipping on a bar of soap in their showers.
Do these things scare you too little boy?
If not they should. You have a far greater chance of dying fro the flu that buy the hands of a Terrorist.
Why don’t we have a War on the flu?
Oooh, those Terrorist are so scary aren’t they. You’re such a brave man to want to give up our freedoms to fight them so that THEY don’t take out freedoms away.
Idiot. You have your head so far up your *ss that your too stupid to see that the whole Islamofascist/Terrorist BS is just a load of cr*p designed to allow the current administration to rationalize expanding Fedaral powers which will eventually use to destroy this country for REAL!
And brain-dead morons like you help to enable them.

Comment by JPark
I wouldn’t be so sure, JPark.
When I worked for the county, I had recruiters in my office all the time for record searches. There was one kid they were really excited to get, but I knew that kid had a nasty juvenile record, and it was only a matter of time before he made it into my felony files. I couldn’t show them the juvenile files, which made it appear that he had no record, but I made it clear to them that they needed to talk to Youth Services. I hope they did, because I’m pretty sure that kid was a psychopath.

You wanna fight Firehead why don’t you sign up instead of sitting at your keyboard. I even saw recruiters outside of a Best Buy the other day. They’re easy to fine. You mean you want everybody else to keep you safe.
March 15th, 2007 at 11:34 pmI can put you up at a housing project in Chicago. You’ll have plenty of protection. There’s automatic weapons and hand guns everywhere. And the residents don’t like strangers much. They’ll keep you safe from all those Iraqis you think are floating up the Mississippi to get you.
Remember Firehead - even paranoids have enemies.
Hey Firehead - why aren’t you fighting in Iraq? You some kind of wimp or what?

Of course he’s scared. In the over 200 years of this country’s existence, 3,000 were killed by Terrorists and he’s already to trade my, your and his freedoms just to be safe and secure.
Yeah, I’d call him the most repulsive cowardly traitor that is imaginable.
March 15th, 2007 at 11:34 pmI wonder how Gonzo will sleep tonight? Better yet- I wonder how Karl Rove will sleep tonight? Cripes- I think I’m gonna sleep pretttttty good, tonight.

Do you really think that will happen? That did not happen in Roman times and it will not happen today. Man does not give up power. Sending senators to labor camps would be the fall of our democracy.
March 15th, 2007 at 11:39 pmBush would not give up his powers any more than Ceasar. Hate, what you call terror, is a disease. Empowering one man will not cure hate. it did not work for Adolph and it will not work today. You are simply repeating the past.
It is rather upsetting to read their posts, defending a political move that has even Republican lawmakers holding their nose in disgust.

I went looking at some Republican sites today and believe me our trolls seem smarter than the regular posters there. i proably didn’t find the good sites but all the posts were “Democrats are so stupid, they’re so gross, let’s get them.”
March 15th, 2007 at 11:40 pmAbout 4th grade level I’d guess. That’s probably why our trolls stay here, unless of course they’re paid to be here.
Hmm, I guess it is easier to train them to be killers.

Yeah, they’re the ones who get the 15 year old Iraqi girls and their family — and everyone ends up dead. Oy.

But you always know who I am and who I am not, and I you.
Yet it confuses the trolls horribly. =)
March 15th, 2007 at 11:41 pmI love the logic of these IDIOTS.
If your willing to risk your life in order to retain your freedom and way of life… you’re a COWARD.
If you want to give our freedoms away on the chance that we might be a little safer… you’re BRAVE.
Just the perfect logic for the BIZARRO world we find ourselves in these days.
Well, I’m willing to risk my life in order to keep my freedoms.
The IDIOT should put his money were his mouth is and enlist right away to protect the US… and if he doesn’t, he can just STFU for being a hypocrite and a C O W A R D.
March 15th, 2007 at 11:41 pm#45, Tell us about your belief in a strong executive branch when a democratic president sits there. To anyone but a coward such as yourself, the Constitution IS a suicide pact…”Live free or die”, remember that? “Those who would surrender their precious freedom for a little security deserve neither and will lose both”. Remember that?
March 15th, 2007 at 11:42 pmIn a real fight to defend our nation, I sure as f.ck wouldn’t want you in my squad. You’d rather live safely in a prison state–sickening.

What makes you think you would not be sent to a forced labor camp firehead?

You are too generous, Zep.

What do you expect from the (what is it now, 28-29 percent) Bushie Dead Enders?
And remember, it’s very likely that a certain percentage of them are paid to spin and disrupt forums like this.

Comment by shane
I have done things in my past that I am not proud of. I have found my peace at long last. Tis an odd thing that somehow thru sin, or breaking of a law that we become ‘good’. I never thought I would cross the paradigm. We have access to wisdom, but we ourselves do not hold it. No man nor woman does.
That then is the key; none have wisdom, none of this planet are truly righteous or wise or smart. Man cannot answer where from he come nor yet how reality works, thousands of years and still the universe eludes us. We smash atoms. Apples at light speed toward one another and hope thru the particles emiited we shall find the answer.
Many think they are ’smart’ or ‘wise’.
I reiterate.
I do not have wisdom. I have no wisdom.
March 16th, 2007 at 12:15 amYeah, some of the trolls might be paid, and others are volunteer foot soldiers. Either way, they are party operatives determined to stay on Karl’s message of the day.
March 16th, 2007 at 12:16 amI actually had a wingnut tell me that we had to fight them there or fight them here. When I asked how those iraqi’s were going to get here, the idiot actually said they would pile in trains and come. I don’t think the wingnut knew where Iraq was.
March 16th, 2007 at 12:18 amit’s very likely that a certain percentage of them are paid
Comment by JPV — March 16, 2007 @ 12:09 am
There is no doubt in my mind this is true.
I don’t know why anyone, for free and on their own accord, would be defending something even Republicans are up in arms over.
Nobody is that cheap -I mean, even whores charge money….

Comment by Zep Tepi
Respectfully, I disagree.
March 16th, 2007 at 12:32 amA month or two ago, I went to Redstate.com and signed up. Once I started posting (acting like a wingnut) I replied to a poster who wondered why Dems picked experienced people for things. He thought that everyone should have a right to any position or job.
So I posted an answer and asked him if he would want brain surgery done on him by an unqualified surgeon, or have an inexperienced General run a war. I said that people get an education for a reason. We hire experience for a reason.
So the next day, I logged on to redstate and got the message that my account had been blocked. Now I thought I was using a decent argument and not being “liberal”, but I guess redstate felt differently. I learned how much conservative sites want to keep their posters in line. No free speech there. And education is NOT a good thing to them.
I am in my 50’s, am a Viet Nam era vet, and thought I would never see something like this in America. It is still shocking to see, even to this day. Fortunately most are starting to see the light, but there is and alway will be those 20-25% who will never accept true freedom. To them, the authority of their God is indisputable.

Hey Zoo, I need to communicate with you electronically.
March 16th, 2007 at 12:44 am#45, let’s hear about your support of a strong executive when a democrat sits in the white house. Arlington is full of people, including members of my family, who gave their lives so that you can whine about how the Constitution they died for “is not a suicide pact”. Coward. In any REAL defense of this nation I sure as shit wouldn’t want you in my squad. How about “Give me liberty or give me death”? How about “Those who would surrender their precious freedom for a little security deserve neither and will lose both”? But then I guess Mr. Franklin was a supporter of al Qaeda too. Moron.

“That said, if Karl thinks there would be political will to do it, than so do I,” Sampson wrote.
Anyone else catch this in the email from Sampson? Maybe it doesn’t mean much to you, but it burns my brain to think that people who are allowed to make critical decisions in a position that revolves around the use of language can’t figure out the f***ing difference between than and then.
I don’t care if it’s a typo. It’s official business correspondence to the White House. Reread it fer chrissake, you had three days to write it.

March 16th, 2007 at 1:24 amHey Everyone
I just wanted to let you know that there is a website that is getting some fun responses. It asks for you to state something that you would like to change or create to make a difference in our community. It is aimed to stir up conversation and perhaps allow other readers to respond back if they can help make that change possible.
The address is http://www.DoSomethingBlog.com
I think it would be great to get a comment from alot of you to create additional discussion and thought.

March 16th, 2007 at 3:43 amI am wishing to find a television that is objective and not this politicizing. I have been years looking for it and never I have found it. When they create a television network that speaks of political subjects and is completely objective, it will be a great day for all. In addition to which it will be a great business because million viewers estan wishing to find something thus.
