Can someone tell me who fall out boy is spoofing in their video This aint a scene. I've heard avenged sevenfold and My chemical romance but which other ones??
Ignoring the fact that Gonzales testified at his confirmation hearing that he'd never fire people for political reasons? Well, as AG, Gonzales swore an oath to put the administration of justice above partisan political concerns. And as an attorney, Gonzales is bound by the ethical requirements of that position, which means acting in the best interests of justice. The claims against Gonzales are that he fired the USAttys because they were too ethical, and because they refused to abuse their authority to suit Bush's political agenda. In other words (if the accusations are true) Gonzales violated both his ethical duties as an attorney, and his oath of office as AG. Either of those are grounds for his removal as AG. That's why Gonzales is the target of the investigation, not Bush. And if this wasn't the third Justice Department scandal in the past month, it probably wouldn't be that much of a big deal. But since it is one more scandal, and since Congress has oversight over the Dept as a federal agency, Congress is doing their job and holding competency hearings for the AG.
I don't care for Bush, but I can admit to a witch hunt when I see one. The Dems are angry and they will do whatever is necessary to slam these guys.
The Dems smell blood because Gonzales for some reason said he had nothing to do with the firings. You and I both know he is smart enough not to purposefully lie about something like this that can be contradicted left and right. Not to mention he can fire any of them for any reason, so why lie about it. So it must have been an innocent slip. But the Dems have nothing better to offer, so they pounced on it, demanding he resign. Big scandal, you know. Bunch of losers.
The best reason I've heard is that the dems are making a big deal out of it for political reasons. Basically they want to take out Bush and Rove. You see this all goes back to the Scooter libby(I hope I spelled that right) trial and why republicans were so furious over it. So the reason was to get Rove and other Bush cabinet members under oath. When this happens anything they say that is a little off or even slightly skewed could be pursued as perjury in any liberal court across the country. I mean if you have heard any audio of the scooter libby trial you would see how unfair it was. There were multiple people who sided with him, including a person who wrote the law that he supposedly violated. They were all ignored or discounted.
Just about anything. I have been flooded out of my house. My current house was hit by a tornado. We recently had a small earthquake. Katrina and Lee stopped by. Yada, yada.
