Howabout ole Harriet Miers big idea? Let's just fire
all 93 US Attorneys and use the Patriot act to appoint our guys without Congressional oversight! I think Carl has a friend who would make a fine prosecutor(read: prosecute Democrats and other folks we don't like). please, assorted acolytes: explain to me again how Bill Clinton rose to impeachable status and this **** doesn't? At least, with a Congress from the opposition party, we will see some oversight(in overdrive, I would imagine). And, we will see people testifying in public, under oath. This one could prove very interesting........ Tom |

You ask about Clinton? He did the same thing within the first year and a half of his first term. |

He replaced them at the beginning of his term, as was his right. The ones being fired now seem to have resisted White House pressure to use their offices for the political benefit of the GOP. One is patronage, like it or not. The other is using the power of the State to punish your political opponents. No one is questioning GW's right to fire them, they are questioning his motivation. g.c. |

I'm not too quick to accept as "facts" the fact that some guy in Singapore
posts it to a blog. As noted by another, you have do present better data than that OG, just find and post the number and dates of such firings. As noted, it is traditional to do a bit of patronage hiring at the beginning of a term, but firing people midterm is less frequent, and the suggestion of a wholesale turnover in year 5 or 6 of an administration borders on the obscene.

If you're trying to convince somebody in a political debate, you really need to come up with some actual objective news sources for your facts. The crap you just posted would only impress somebody who has watched so many hours of the Fox Noise Channel that they don't even recognize bias when they're standing knee-deep in it. Kevin Will this one do: http://select.nytimes.com/gst/abstra...nton%2c%20Bill IAC, Reno did ask for all to resign. There simply isn't enough publicly known about these firings yet. TC, R |

Um, what "****?" There just isn't enough info out yet, and I'd offer that Schumer and Kennedy are as biased and unreliable sources as Rush Limboob and Ann Coulter. At least, with a Congress from the opposition party, we will see some oversight(in overdrive, I would imagine). See above, Schumer, Kennedy, et al... And, we will see people testifying in public, under oath. This one could prove very interesting........ It could, and if there was actual wrongdoing, punishment appropriate to the wrong would be in order. TC, R Tom |
