You Neocons are just adorable! First, let me point out that Jesus was not a republican. The proposition that you have God on your side and that you can do no wrong is appalling in its level of hubris. I concede that Bush won in part by masquerading as someone who values life and did so by condemning abortions and stem cell research. However, this point of view often ignores the horrors of war, which he has brought to the world. I find it fascinating that Christians so easily accept his claims that he is pro-life without ever looking at his fondness for open war.

Having gone to a Christian elementary and junior high school, and given that I happen to like most religious texts, I know that the bible only insinuates that abortions are against the divine will. I also know that on several occasions, it openly and explicitly condemns open war.

The problem with you Neocons is that you like to divide the Bible (and most other texts including the Constitution) by reading and strongly supporting some lines, while completely ignoring others as well as reading those lines literally and narrowly, without historical, scientific, or rational context.

The problem more specifically with Gonzales is that he won't answer even the most basic questions about the Constitution as well as his apparent belief that the President's power is absolute. Let me respond to that point that if any of you wish to live in a country in which the leader's power is absolute, go back to iran or north korea (or whatever country it is you prefer in which the policy maker's power is absolute). This is America. Nobody's power is absolute here and NO ONE is above the law, including the president.

You registered TOMORROW?????

Better use your dictionary and look up "neocon". I don't qualify and cannot understand why you would direct your remarks to me and my hyperbolic remark. While you're at it, take that 2x4 off your shoulder.
