    Never asked you to, but seeing how those are acts that they comitted, many of which were aquitted for. Which is usually what happens in these investigations.

So what if what Gonzales did wasn't strictly illegal, it was still an abuse of an office he was trusted to run and clearly he wasn't fit to run it if he couldn't do his job properly.
    So now is his innocent or guilty? I keep getting confused in your posts. And you are right it is more serious, but the thing is that those investigations do not care about the crime. What they do is get you up on the stand, they ask you alot of questions, and then they call you back a month later and ask you the same questions. If you're answers differ, or if you had forgotten, and they can prove it against you. Then you go to trial. That is the real goal of it.

    As for Gonzales, unless you have been in the congressional room you have no idea what has truely gone down. These prosecutors are supposed to be unbiased, neither liberal or conservative. If they were being biased, which it seemed they were as they were going directly after Republican members of Congress while by passing Democrat Scandles, then Gonzales had the right to pull them and allow Bush to put in attorneys that will go after both Republican and Democrats.

    Nah you just said they whined about it, whining about trying to fix the problem and all that.

    Yeah that is exactly what right wingers bitch about, not the economy or anything else. Also I take it Bush is a determined right winger? Well he can't be I mean he has defended Latin Americans and all that. What about John Mc Cain?

    Well if they want to be equal then they should defend pretty much the highest ranking Latino American in the US. But hey it's better to support the people that are on the left side of the isle than to actually support all Latinos like they have constantly claimed they will do.

    Ahh so that is why you said:

    I'm not going to defend the Democrats, since frankly they're nearly as bad as the Republicans. What I will say though is that you have named 3 seemingly terrible things that the Democrats have done here, yet I could name thousands of piss-poor and terrible things the Republicans did in their eight years of tyrannical rule.

    Becuase we were talking about the Democrats having control of the Congress and the White House right now. Especially when it came to the three major acts that they have comitted over the last three months where Democrats were in power of Congress. No where did you mention the White House, it was no where near the post either. We were talking about how the Republicans acted during Congressional Rule, and how the Democrats acted during Congressional Rule.
