I'm hardly a rat, and I don't need a valium. Perhaps you need some caffeine. You seem too apathetic.
Bush has done a good job on the war on terror. He has done a good job with taxes.
His border policies stink. He has spent government money like a liberal. He's trying to palm off on us this ringer Gonzales as though he is something great. Gonzales is no Ashcroft, no Clarence Thomas, no Condi Rice, no Rehnquist, no Scalia. He's a fifth columnist who will support anti-gun legislation, pro-choice legislation, affirmative action legislation and oppose any tightening up of the borders against illegal aliens. He support La Raza's agenda - he probably helped draft it.
Gonzales makes as much sense as Tom Kean, Chrissie Whitman, Colin Powell and Norman Minetta.
Perhaps it would be useful if you started a separate thread devoted to discussing the pros and cons of Gonzales as AG.
I gave up caffeine and I am giving up on you too!
Alberto Gonzalez is no radical. He is a solid Texas citizen who holds the same family values as most of the rest of us. You are hearing only one side, which is wild and distorted and filled with heated, scary rhetoric. In my opinion, it is also bigoted at its base.
Being for the extension of the AWB, whether right or wrong, is not a radical position. He is not pro-abortion. He dealt with a legal case in which he was trying to discern the intent of some legislation out of the Texas Legislature. He is a humble man from a humble background from Humble, TX. People who know him say he radiates humility and does not see himself as someone who ought to tell everyone else how to live, which is a hallmark of Liberals.
He is religious, honest, a hard-worker and loves his wife and children. He loves this country, America. He can differ with you and others on a plan for guest workers or whatever, which to you makes him scum, but to me he has that right without deserving to be disrespected and characterized as something he's not.
He is everything I would want a public figure to be, and everything I would want in a next door neighbor. I do not have to walk in total lockstep in every detail with someone before I will accord them the respect they deserve.
