Stand firm Mr. President! You are doing what is best for our country. We republicans are with you. God Bless President George W. Bush!!!

the funny thing is..

everyone is making a big deal out of the firing of what.. 8 attorneys?

when Clinton first took office, he asked for the resignation of ALL the attorneys.

come on, try to explain this in a way that makes it less hypocritical. you won't succeed.

For all of you folks that don't read past the headlines, this isn't about the firings which was perfectly legal. When asked why, heck-of-a-job-Gonzales testified and stated as a fact-of-record that the firings were based on performance, but when the justice department turned over the emails, it turned out that the attorney's had all recieved stellar performance ratings, and that they were fired for not pursuing agendas that two congress members wanted, to try to curb votes for their reelections. Gonzales lied or misled congress. That's against the law. He said the White House had no role in the firings, but the emails say different. That is why the subpoenas. Check your facts.

Because "protecting our kids" is the last refuge of this and every other traitorous scoundrel, NOT patriotism...

Americans voted in this lousy president for another 4 years, so we should stop complaining. We knew that he was unethical and that his cabinet was unethical as well. And we knew that he was incompetant. Bush has taken America from a once proud nation with good ideals and turned it into an embarresment. Lets hope our new president in 2008 will be able to dig us out of the hole he's gotten us into.

What a bunch of phonies the Demos are! They lie when they inhale and they lie when they exhale, and they depend for their existence on the falsification of reality.

Now, Sick Willie Clinton blew away the 93 or 96 US attorneys when he assumed office, several of whom were investigating him and his thieving, sticky-fingered wife, Petunia Rodham Clinton.

As well, Bush's people fired only 8 US attorneys --- all of them Republicans. If the process has been "politicized," then it has been politicized by the Democrats and their willing accomplices in the drive-by media. Bush, as usual, is under attack by nature's routinely dishonest critter --- the Democrat.

Of course Gonzales should not resign. He did absolutely nothing wrong. The President has the power to remove U.S. Attorneys for any reason or for no reason whatsoever.

Democrats who are making an issue of this know that fact. Therefore, they are being incredibly disingenuous when they feign concern or anger. They are manufacturing a scandal.

To those people who posted on here claiming that Bush has to keep Gonzales in order to "cover up" some "unethical" behavior by his administration: I challenge you to provide one example of unethical conduct. You cannot do so.

The difference between Clinton firings and Bush firings, - is that Bush is firing Republicans who won't do his right-wing bidding.

It all boils down to this. The Dems have nothing of any value to offer this country. Now that the dummed down electorate gave them the power they crave, they still hate Bush.
Even Leaky Leahy said last week that no crime had been committed. They want to get rid of AG Gonzales strictly because he is a good friend of the President. And the reason they want Testimony under Oath is because they are desparate to get another "Process Crime" perjury case.
Now that the Justice Department has released all of the documents, real reporters are now finding out that the 8 US Attorneys were fired for just cause.
And for Builder3, your Dems lie through their teeth everyday. Besides your god, Bill Clinton, lied under Oath to a Grand Jury to obstruct Justice. And you probably though that was okay.

When will congress tackle really important issues? Medicare and pending baby boomers, Social Secuity, Health Savings Accounts, Tax reform, immigration? The rancor over legal attorney firings is much to do about nothing and cover for an inept congress.

Mike-Alexandria, I am a republican and voted for the administration, however since we now as a party, only have 23% of the population on our side, that puts us in deep do-do. The more arrogant and confrontational GWB and Co. becomes, the less we will ever gain in another election. If these actions don't offend you, you're not paying attention. I'll never pull another voting handle for a republican president, and there are many, many who feel the same way. Get your head out of the sand. This affects you too.

Good for Gonzales! Why should he resign when all he did was to fire ineffective judges! If ANY research had been done by the left wing media, this would all be OVER by now but they simply saw a false chance to get at Bush. Boy, this gets SO TIRING!

AG Gonzales would do a whole lot better in convincing America that he really is interested in "protecting" Americans if HE'D LOCK DOWN OUR BORDERS...!

Anything said or done short of ENFORCING OUR IMMIGRATION LAWS is mute Mr. Gonzales. You're just another meely mouthed, do nothing politico.

You are right about one thing;
"There's a lot work that needs to be done around the country..." and you should start by resiging your position immediately.

Some of the most honest, plain-speaking, truthful politicians of all time are Republicans from my dear home state of Texas. It has always been amazing that such a great group of men lived at the same time and worked together to form this country.

We are now at another turning point in our history and we are fortunate to have Tom DeLay, Karl Rove, Albert Gonzales, and George Bush as our leaders. Don't you agree???

Yes the U.S. Attorneys serve at the PLEASURE of the President, however the LAW does not serve at the pleasure of the President. The arguement is about whether or not the firings were to help certain freinds of this administration avoid criminal prosecution.

I challenge you to provide one example of unethical conduct. You cannot do so.

The Vice President's Chief of Staff was convicted of perjury and obstruction of justice. Maybe that's ethical in your world.

johni - buh buh buh clinton ....

No. The were largely fired for NOT investigating DEMOCRATS MALFEASANCE.
