You are right, jc. Like talking to a dog, all you have to say is "Roll over, Rino" and they do it. And that's without mentioning why no Repblican takes the offensive on this. Is President Bush the only "man" left in the Republican Party? So many of them have become feminized and afraid to speak out. They act like abused wives.

NEVER,NEVER trust a liberal

I can't say I disagree with you, jc. Bush should just starting telling the MSM that it's his decision to hire and fire the US Attorneys regardless of the reason, and that's final! Anything other than that approach is nothing more than looking like he's the dem's bitch.  

The GOP really doesn't understand this hard-left approach by the Dims. It's a lot like how communism gained hold in China. It starts small, and there are very consistent themes that are pounded on day in and day out. The Dim them for a while has been "Just apologize, for crying out loud" or "Admit a mistake was made -- we all make mistakes, even you, unless you think you're perfect". And they won't let up. The message they are sending is "Admit a mistake, and all will be forgiven".

Finally, just to try to relieve the pressure, someone "admits a mistake". Then the Dims attack -- "You made a mistake -- now pay for it". And, they tell the public (through their ever-willing MSM friends) "See, they made a mistake -- you can't trust them, they need to be replaced". And this happens no matter what, because ever since Vietnam, the left has learned that it pays to run a story 256 days in a row. Wear them out, run them down, make it sould like the worst thing that's ever happened. You can see what happened to Gonzalas -- he said "I made a mistake", and now the wolves are employing their tactics via the MSM.

Without independent reporting sources (talk radio, internet, blogs) this has been allowed to occur for decades. And the left has become very good at this. We need to get Republicans to show a backbone, here, and recognize and defeat these tactics.

Bingo.

No other group in United States history has displayed a more virulent, blatant, or sociopathic hypocrisy than today's 21st century liberals (a.k.a. Democrats and the MSM).

They condemn the just and acquit the guilty 24/7/365.

Senator Dianne Feinstein has an op-ed in Saturday’s LA Times, explaining why the senate is investigating the firings of eight U.S. Attorneys. If we take her at her word, and assume that her explanation is the true reason, then she makes an arguable case. In her explanation, Feinstein claims that the Bush administration exploited provisions in the Patriot Act. The provisions, slipped in at the last minute, allow the administration to replace attorneys without senate confirmation. The Patriot Act shouldn't allow the executive branch to bypass senate confirmation, and if that’s how the administration is using the Act, the senate wants to close that loophole. In Feinstein’s argument, the senate is only acting to preserve their right to confirm the attorneys. If that’s the case, I actually agree with her point. We shouldn't lightly dismiss senate confirmation, and we should excise the offending provisions.

• If that were the true reason, however, this wouldn’t be a scandal spree and a witch-hunt. At no point within her explanation did Feinstein claim that a law was broken. Apparently, the administration followed the law, but Feinstein claims this shows how the law was inadequate. However, the senate isn't treating this as a “loophole” case. The senate and the media are pursuing it as a criminal case.
• If Feinstein’s argument is correct, shouldn’t we see the words “Patriot Act” appear in the news stories? None of the news stories mentions the Patriot Act. The story sold to the public is that the firings of the attorneys were politically motivated, and that alone was criminal.
• If Feinstein’s argument is correct, this was “premeditated.” Then why is the senate fishing for whose idea it was? How can you charge premeditation when you don’t know who premeditated it? If no laws were broken, what difference would it make?
• If Feinstein’s argument is correct, the impropriety started when senators "slipped" provisions into the Patriot Act at the 2006 reauthorization. Then why isn’t the senate investigating the impropriety of that, instead of keeping the focus on the executive? If this was a legislative impropriety, you owe it to the country to investigate yourselves.

The investigation’s explanation clashes with its conduct. If we take Senator Feinstein’s explanation at face value, then we would expect the investigation to proceed a certain way. However, it isn’t proceeding that way. It’s a feeding frenzy, and the senators are chumming the water for transparently political purposes. The Democrats complain that the administration keeps giving them different stories ... and yet, without irony, they offer multiple explanations for the investigation themselves.

It's a fraud.

It wouldn't solve anything. There is nothing to solve. Harassment is right. It's just another scalp for the Dems to hang on their belt.

They promised to investigate everything, and that's the only promise they intend to fulfill.

Three bags full!

mlong...

Couldn't agree with you more.

I called into the Washington Journal on Wed. the 14th and told Asa Hutchinson exactly what you are pointing out...I stated you as a party need to fight back in unison...and all to grow a spine....

For all the good it will do.

I told him I was angry to begin with...which I was...enough is enough already!

...(to shorten up here what I said...lol!)
