JUDGE FOR YOURSELF

Should the Attorney General, Alterto Gonzales, be fired or asked to resign?

That is, and MUST be, 100% up to the President and Congress has NO RIGHT to even bring the subject up!

But you think they must have the right, because you believe the news.

President William Jefferson Clinton fired 93 AGs in ONE DAY.

He kept on Janet Reno in the face of the same kind of controversy.

The press reported, but gave almost no commentary on the events.

The President fires a few AGs and the press treats it like a scandal (they even call it that and you believe it is a scandal because your favorite newscaster said so), saying it was "politically motivated."

One fired AG says he was fired because "he wouldn't play ball."

RIGHT!!!!

That's why people get fired.

My boss would fire me if I did not play ball (he has told me so).

Your boss would fire you if you did not play ball.

If you were (or are) a boss, you would fire an employee who did not play ball.

And the AGs work for the President.

He is their boss, as outlined in the Constitution of the United States of America, if that counts for anything.

But you believe the Mainstream Press.

You will allow the MSP to fry AG, Alberto Gonzales.

You will not object to your Congressman.

You will not write or call.

You are too pussyfooted to either care or to do anything about it.

This is all for one reason, and one reason only: to put EVERY move George W. Bush makes in a bad light.

And you are playing right into their hands.

I heard an interview of an "expert" this very morning who was asked by the interviewer, with that "what I'm about to ask demand a certain respose" tone to his voice, "Is America safer today than we were before 9/11?"

The answer was 100% predictable: NO.

I'm certain that is because of all the attacks on america carried out by terroritsts since 9/11.

I'm certain that is because of the fear you and I wake up with every day, as we head out to our jobs and conduct our daily lives.

Now the truth is WE ARE SAFER NOW THAN WE WERE BEFORE 9/11, but you don't believe that, because you believe your favorite news reporter.

Take Valerie Plame (please).

Valerie Plame was NOT outed by Robert Novak or any body else...she was never a lawfully covert agent.

She testified that she was covert.

Imagine that!

A covert agent who drives to work in a family car every day, drops her kids off at school and then drives to the CIA offices!

That's some kinda covert!

But her testimony was that she had been trained to know when she was being followed.

Oh, wow! That makes sense.

Truth is, her testimony before the committe was false...a lie...get it? She lied under oath!

Yes she did!

She was, is and always will be a pretty faced, blond liar (a liar being defined as one who does not tell the truth).

But was that pointed out by the MSP?

If you watched any of the questioning of Valerie Plame before Congress, you know that EVERY TIME a question was asked that might yield an opposite result, the question was either cut off or ridiculed by members of the panel who had a different niew.

Valerie Plame said she lost her career because of the Bush administration.

Now you believe that, because you believe your favorite news reporter.

But she was not "outed" by the Bush administration, she was not "outed" at all, because only a lawfully covert agent can be "outed."

But you think she was a covert agent, because you believe the news.

Fact is, the first person to bring up her name as a CIA employee (not a covert agent, 'cause she wasn't one), was Richard Armitage, a deputy secretary of State. Check out this Newsweek link.

But how many times did you hear his name come up in the hearings yesterday?

Answer: 0

You need to realize that the major network news organizations are not at all interested in giving you all the facts of a case, they are interested in making you believe a certain thing that fits what they, as a group, want accomplished.

And they are being successful at making you believe what they tell you because you do not write or call them and tell them how much you wish they would present BOTH SIDES of a story factually, and save the commentary for commentators.

Same goes for certain lawmakers.

They are not interested in the good of the country, bringing unity to the country, defending the country...they are interested in, and only in, their own power.

"Sure are they all...all honorable men."

Yeah, right.

But you believe they are, because they bluster and huff and puff when the truth about them is brought up.

But their actions go on, just the same.

And you fall for their lies and the lies of the Mainstream Press.

Or do you?

Joe, I always enjoy reading your to-the-point analysis of things. :) And I couldn't agree more with you - every single time.

Would that all of those people in Washington take your approach...
