Reply #19: There seems to be a lot of simplistic worldviews at the forefront right now.

Perhaps because of the dire straits we find ourselves in, compounded by the presidential campaigns where it is easy to project all sorts of heroic abilities onto our favored candidate. We NEED somebody to fix this stuff, and right now! Little steps are about the same as doing nothing. There are only traitors or patriots, no middle ground.

I think going after Gonzo would be a great move. He's clearly vulnerable, he's in a critical position, and he's not going to serve justice. We need a special prosecutor and he'll never name one. There is understandably a lot of reluctance to try to impeach a president as it is very disruptive to the functioning of the government, but replacing a dysfunctional and ethically discredited Attorney General should be a gimme. Even Repubs would probably like to see a change there, but the process will open up a whole can of worms, or maybe a better analogy would be- a rich vein of ore to mine.

I have been reading about the Watergate scandal lately, and the parallels and connections and similarities are getting to be pretty interesting. Corrupt Attorney General, illegal wiretapping, using the Justice Dept. for political gain, Fred Thompson, Hillary Clinton, dramatic White House staff testimony, political retribution, defiance of subpoenas. One could believe that all the pieces are in place.


Did you know that Donald Segretti was John McCain's Orange County, CA campaign co-chair in 2000?
