It's not clear to me what these "over-the-top tactics" are. Are they trashing Gonzales' character? I haven't seen this. I've seen reasoned points about why we couldn't count on him being a strong conservative on the Court.

LOL. Surely you jest. Much of it has been outright hysteria and insults. And it isn't just against Gonzales but against Bush himself. If you stand by your statement, explain how something like "Mr. Peepers" is a "reasoned point."

If you think that's "over-the-top," I'm sure glad you aren't in public office, or running a campaign for us.

It is telling of the weakness of your argument that you decide to bring my personal history into the discussion, which has absolutely nothing to do with this topic...but anyway I've helped run a number of campaigns, all of which have been successful - and they were hotly contested. I would dare say my experience in these matters is much greater than yours, so save such insults for someone else.

We may have been talking past each other, Wildcat.

I was referring to the public comments made by various writers and conservative organizations -- in other words, comments that Bush would be aware of and would have been responding (I think overreacting) to. I don't see that THOSE were over-the-top. I didn't mean to say that all the anti-Gonzales, let alone anti-Bush comments on FReep were reasonable. I'm sure many were not.
