Having said that, I am declaring my candidacy for POTUS. Here is my stand on the most important issues of our time:

Iraq/WOT – Find me a general who is equal to Patton. His mission is to win, don’t really care what he does, just win. That means if the Middle East is now bombed back into the middle ages, then so be it, that’s how they want to live anyway.

Immigration – Use whatever soldiers my Patton does not use to lock down the borders, both North and South, this is a national emergency, we are being invaded. National Guard will be responsible for hunting down any illegal aliens already in the country.

Economy – Flat Use Tax, period. Make as much money as you want tax free, get taxed on what you spend. If you want to live like Scrooge McDuck then you don’t pay much in taxes, live like 99.99% of the population who spends more than they make, then you pay!

MSM – If they print leaked classified info, I first go after the leak, try them on treason, then do the same to the media outlet.

Energy – Let’s face it, oil is why we have been in the Middle East for 50 years. Open up every inch of land in the US for drilling. Offer a $10 billion prize for the person/company who comes up with an alternative fuel source to power our country, think “flux capacitor”.

Vote for me because in all the areas above our POTUS has failed us.

As for everyone who wants Gonzales fired, don’t forget that his replacement or any other will have to be approved by a Democratic Congress!

I wish that Bush would take to the “bully pulpit” and personally announce (and identify by name) those US Attornies that refused to investigate or prosecute vote fraud, which USA’s objected to the death penalty, and which USA’s were insubordinate by implementing their own agenda instead of the President’s.

Further, I wish that Bush would unequivocally come right out and state: “It is my perogitive to fire these US Attorneys for the reasons I just enumerated, even though I do not need to provide any reason for doing so, as they serve at my pleasure. My predecesser fired, in an unheard of action, all 93 US attorneys allowing only 10 days notice and in the process, deliberately short circuiting an investigation of himself, his wife, and his ally, Dan Rostenkowski who was later indicted for mail fraud.

This is all that this administration will be say about it. Attorney General Gonzales will NOT testify before Congress. Neither will any employee of the Justice Department. Neither will I nor any other member of the Administration either testify or provide documents, emails, or any other information subpoened by the Democrats in Congress.

THIS CHARADE IS NOTHING BUT POLITICS BY DEMOCRATS. It is being stoked by the Democratic Party leadership and the media that aided and abetted Bill and Hillary Clinton to kill a federal investigation of themselves in Arkansas, and protected a member of the Democratic Party leadership while he was pushing Bill and Hillary’s economic agenda through Congress.

This discussion is over.”

I thank Bryan for being one of THE greatest writing talents in the blogosphere.

Ms.U

Thanks for posting.

We criticize the Bush administration all the time, and I’m about to criticize it again.

What’s the point of proudly boasting about how much you criticize Bush? Are you really that in need of liberal approval? No matter how much you criticize, it’s never going to be enough for them, so why even give them an inch?

He’s a liar, a stooge, and an enemy of the Constitution. Throw him to the (leftist) dogs.

As for Gonzales, he lost me on Sandy Berger.

Gonzales lost me long before Sandy Burglar — the NYT leaking classified information, for one. But please keep saying what needs saying.

Fired a few prosecutors = GET OUT

Took $100k bribe = “The most ethical congress in history”

Hmmmmmmmmmmmm

I’m with Bryan on this Admin. Useless.

As for Gonzales, he lost me on Sandy Berger.

I, as well, Bryan.

Excellent piece.

I am just slack jawed at this……..

At its most basic level, the firing of 8 of 93 federal prosecutors just isn’t that big of a deal

mhmmm…but can you believe what Rosie said on The View today??

At the very least, Clinton and Schumer really need to STFU about this.

Fixed it for ya ;)

Interrresting…verrry interrresting…but stupid.

This link is from Drudge.

Bush is STILL trying the be the uniter…a good idea, I’m glad he tried it, but it DOESN’T WORK, so he should just freaking stop it.

Madness cannot be united with reason. It doesn’t work.

He kept George Tenet (disaster), he allowed Sandy Berger to get off with a slap on the wrist (ridiculous), he should have exposed Powell for the traitor that he is, he won’t pardon Libby or our border guards, I’m starting to think he’s a closet lib.

Does every prez need a scandal as a legacy?

Federal prosecutors are political appointees and can be fired at any time for any reason, or for no reason whatsoever. Even the harshest critics of Uncle Janet’s (and therefore Bill Clinton’s) decision to fire all U.S. Attorneys in March of 1993 acknowledged that it was presidential perogative to do just that.

Absolutely! They serve at the pleasure of the president. He could fire them because they wear green ties and he likes blue if he wants. The fact that he actually has reasons for the firings makes this even less of a non-story than it already is.
