The Republicans in the Senate and the House are all upset about
this. You know full well what
this is. This is an effort to get Gonzales, and then after Gonzales it
is an effort to get Rove. It is an effort to keep on moving up the
administration hierarchy as high as they can go on this, and they're
not going to stop with this. They
just went out there and hired outside lawyers because they don't have
enough government lawyers on staff to do all the investigations of the
administration. The Republicans just sit there scared to death to align
themselves with the administration. It's an election year, obviously.
Well, it's an election season.
There
are a lot of conservatives in the media: "Get rid of Gonzales; get this
off the table; get rid of him. He was incompetent; get him out of
there; shouldn't have been there in the first place." It doesn't help
when people on our own side want to throw this guy overboard. It's no
longer about Gonzales. It's not about whether he's competent or
incompetent or any of this. It's about destroying the
administration. I can't understand some
people on our side and the conservative media think throwing Gonzales
away is going to stop this. Now, they'll say, "Well, that's not what
we're trying to do. We want competence. We are conservatives, and we
have high values, and high standards." This is a battle going on
here. There's an election that's going to hinge on stuff like this, and
everybody the administration throws overboard is an admission
to people that pay little attention to politics there's all kinds of
corruption going on in there.
You can sit there
in your perch and talk about, "We want competence and we want
this, this will stand us in good stead in the future, we're fair," so
many people don't understand, or just want to ignore the impact of the
fight that this is about. When I see the Republicans are worried, I guarantee you, all it takes
is one Republican to stand up there and call the Democrats on what
they're doing and say what it is.
