The never ending treadmill of scandal has finally claimed Alberto Gonzales. An honest to god rags to riches story, he is now naught but fodder for the uninspired inanities of career corruption facilitators Patrick Leahy (D-Vt) and Harry Reid (D-Nev). If you add in the smarm merchant John Edwards, it has to be a devestating blow for Gonzales. To be trivialized by a bunch of scoundrels who lack the ability to think on their own is surely a long drop from being considered for a Supreme Court job, and being selected as the Attorney General.
It doesn’t take a huge helping of intellect to understand that this is just partisan politics. Congress never even bothered to name what it was that Mr. Gonzales did that would amount to wrongdoing, because in point of fact, they can’t prove he did anything wrong. These same pontificating lackwits stood mute during the FBI file scandal, and the white House post office scandal during the Clinton administration, where not only wrongdoing did occur, but proof of said wrongdoing was available.
I guess the question is whether the electorate is tired of supporting one band of rogues at the expense of another. Neither major political party has moral standing, and integrity is a punchline for both. They have spent the past 16 years making themselves and their friends richer while America languishes in every major economic category except the stock market, where the rich like to play. Ineptitude and malfeasance have become the rule of law on capital hill, and Harry Reid is a known participant. It’s a shame that he maintains his seat while a man trying to do what he thought was right for America goes home in disgrace. I guess if Alberto needs consolation he at least has that. That he at least tried to do what he believed to be right. The slatterns nipping at his heels lo these many weeks know that they are not doing what is right for the country, and they don’t care.
If there is one thing that would get me to vote Ron Paul this may well be it. The major parties are too corrupt to trust America’s future to, and any who think otherwise are either mentally challenged or unaware of the depth of the larceny being perpetrated. I believe that if Ron Paul were elected we would at least in the executive branch experience honest government for a change. Not necessarily successful government, but honest none the less.
It’s another sickening day for Americans. A good man was dragged down like a wolf by feral dogs, and we are worse for it happening. Those of you supporting these two parties are as much to blame for whats wrong with America as the parties themselves. You lack the intestinal fortitude to say “my party is wrong,” and instead spend your time looking outward, ignoring the enemy within. We have less to fear from Jihadists than we do from Democrats and Republicans.
Try and prove me wrong on that. All the data is on my side.

Hey Barack….Can You Spare Some Change?
March 9, 2008So how about that change candidate? I’m wondering what, other than skin color, the change isalleged to be. So far, other than his incessant whining now that the press is treating him like everyone else he seems like every other semi-crooked politician to me. Let’s, just off the top of our heads, look at the record.
So far he has never won an election for federal office that didn’t include getting reporters to dig through the divorce proceedings of his opponents trying to find some dirt that will stick. This includes the primary, and one election for federal office. Slinging dirt doesn’t really allow one to call himself the candidate of change.
He purchsed a home in which he realized “several hundred dollars worth of savings” in conjunction with a lot purchased by your typical everyday chicago style graft and corruption specialist. Here again the table was set long ago by those before him and he is merely eating the vittles.
I suppose when a couple of your top staffers come out and tell people you lied about NAFTA, and getting out of Iraq, and another admits you are not ready to be commander in chief in an interview that could be called change. Honesty is rare in campaigns, and thiese were the first honest things to come out of his campaign. Unfortunately, he said the NAFTA conversation didn’t happen when it actually did. His Iraq stance is also disingenuous on its surface because common sense says if a nuclear device goes off in fallujah we will be there long past 18 months. So again, his lying and obfuscations make this more of the same…no change here.
His record…that anemic thing he persistently points to could have been called change had he not followed in the footsteps of JFK and Jimmy Carter. Neither had a record of international involvement. One botched the bay of pigs, and the other failed so miserably when the Shah was ousted in Iran that 30 years later we still can’t get that particular burr out of our rump. Again….no change here.
So where is the change? great speaker? so was Reagan. Innovator? nothing new in any of his policy statements. Voting record?
Eureka…change…we have found you. I don’t think we have ever had anyone as liberal as Barack Hussein (yeah…its his middle name but he isn’t a muslim and damn the muslim’s should be pissed that the man won’t even own his moniker because it sounds like an islamic name) Obama run this deep into a campaign.
You should enjoy this time Barack. Hillary can only hit you so hard without offending the socialists in her party. Imagine what happens when that paragon of togetherness John McCain starts attacking your record of political isolationism. Do you really think you control the middle? you can’t control the middle from the far left or the far right, but you might have a shot if you’ve always been there. John McCain has. Of course, if he wins we will need to redecorate the oval office. I recommend putting the button on the top shelf. He won’t be able to reach it there.
