Nobody really thought all the cults were gone from Texas, did they? At ANY cost these believers will laydown for the cause and that's what re-publi-cons have developed into the past 20 years, Setting the stage for themselves and this country to move ever closer toward theocracy based government. Started with worshipping Reagan, who singlehandedly orated the Soviets into collapse with his moral supremecy over the godless commies. Was there really any question that the Iraq invasion wasn't about WMDs, regime change, oil or Al-Quitya? Nope it was about Christians fighting the Islamic Jihadists and nudging closer to the EnD tImEs. Look up your local re-publi-con Congressman and see if he/she/it doesn't fit the profile of a 'believer': waving the flag to get other mindless glogs to "Support the Troops/President/War/Fight Terrorists/Be Stupid-but-A-Winner Too." That's what this whole 'patriotism' gig is REALLY about: Motivating the mindless, non-thinking believers wanting to support a cause, a mission, the ONE TRUE PATH. And let me guess: George W. Bush is the ONE? Think about THAT the next time one of them writes a missive about 'fighting them over there', and 'handing Iraq to the terrorists'. Just ignore what is written and mentally insert the following: "Yep. We won the war: we own Iraq and the Right to Tell Them How To Live! Long live the ONE! I am STOOPID too." Oh. So what was the question? Oh, yea: Alberto G. will last how long? Answer: It doesn't matter there will be another True Believer to take his place. Bury the Constitution, we're living in the Age of the EnD tImEs, and we must use all force against the non-believers! Okay, Mom. I wrote your post. Can I get back to playing Space Invaders?

It's worse than that. These provisions in the act were never even voted on. They were added after the Senate vote in the House-Senate Conference Committee. This committee had NO DEMOCRATS ON IT. Kevin said it best. Fascist. Regarding Kevin’s comments and the Patriot Act.

Both these guys are over rated incompetent stupid guys. They are nothing but ass- kissers of a stupid President. Compared to Bush they may be smart. But compared to any Democrat they are illiterate. I can not understand how a guy with a name Gonzales became Attorney general of USA. Gonzales, Condi Rice and Karl Rove should be kicked out. These three people are super Ass-Kissers.

The sooner more Republicans jump on the "Dump Gonziles" bandwagon, the sooner his "resignation" will occur. My reasoning has to do with the resignation of Rummy, which occurred soon after the Democrats gained control of both Houses of Congress. It was clear at that point that Rumsfeld was a severe liability, since many Republicans were just plain disgusted with him. Cheney & Rove saw that coming & convinced Bush it was time for him to go. Right now, as was said, it is only a matter of finding a way to make it appear it is not a retreat. But if more Republicans reverse their support, they will have no choice.

Did anyone ever read it? Under rules from the Reagan era, Senate Confirmation was required for all U.S. attorneys. The AG could appoint an interim vacancy for 120 days. After that period, the authority to keep the interim appointment went to the District Court. In 2006, Patriot Act authorized terminations and indefinite replacements with no notice. no due process. No hearings. A de-facto "Star Chamber" Proceeding. Alberto Gonzales, Harriet Myers, and Karl Rove were allegedly behind it. If true, I am beginning to believe that parts of the Patriot Act are facist. If true, Gonzales should go Monday and we should return to the policy the worked well beginning with Reagan.
