White House Seeking Gonzales Replacements
In a sign of Republican despair, GOP political strategists on Capitol Hill said that it is too late for Gonzales' departure to head off a full-scale Democratic investigation into the motives and timing behind the firing of eight U.S. attorneys.
"Democrats smell blood in the water, and (Gonzales') resignation won't stop them," said a well-connected Republican Senate aide. "And on our side, no one's going to defend him. All we can do is warn Democrats against overreaching."
This is absolutely ridiculous. If Bush wants to get rid of him because he is incompetent, that is one thing. It's quite another if the only reason they are going to dump him is to make the Democrats feel better. In '08 we need to elect some Republicans with backbone. The sissies we have in there now are doing as much damage as the Democrats*.
*not all are sissies, but too many of them.
