"now having given so much to put the Republicans and the Bush family BACK in power, who believed the oath Bush gave to church leaders, to conservative leaders, in back door meetings, when lots of money exchanged hands, and money from common people hard earned, and who told the common people all over this nation that he will fight to put a conservative on the bench, and now this from Mr. Peepers he tells us to “tone it down”?"
I was one of those conservatives who gave time, energy, money and intellectual effort to re-electing the president and I agree with him on this one, not the rage-aholic wing of the Republican party wagging their fingers and saying "Do as I say or else!" And I do not agree with Ms. Ingram and her ugly name calling of the president. The disrespect in calling him "Mr. Peepers" is an afront to all decency.
The fact is he's right. Let's tone down the rhetoric AND the assumptions here about any Bush nominee to the Supreme Court. Gonzalez is being attacked based on one ruling in Texas. Does that make us the far right any better than the far left in demagoguing Bush nominees? Why don't we all take the time to really look into the man's record rather than how someone else is representing it. And I agree with the person who posted on the #2 reply that there are more constructive ways to express disagreement with the president than this childish, Air America-like name calling, especially at a time the Democrats are attacking him on EVERYTHING from the left, including on a Supreme Court nomination not even yet made. We don't need to stoop to their deranged level and snipe at the president from the right. Come on folks. Just take a deep breath and wait and see what happens. And let's look into what Gonzalez REALLY stands for before jumping to conclusions. Ingram has lost me as a listener.
I don't believe for a New York minute that she called him "Mr. Peepers". The guy that posted this put his words in her mouth and is too gutless to even respond to his own thread.
He was appointed Attorney General of the United States and we still don't know what he stands for?
