Honestly, I think the entire Gonzales "controversy" is entirely overblown. On one hand, we have a bunch of bloodthirsty Democrats who are out for blood after finally winning election in 2006 (though their current approval ratings are lower than the Presidents). On the other hand, we have President Bush and Attorney General Gonzales, neither of whom have been able to successfully handle the PR of this supposed controversy.
So, perhaps Gonzales has to go. He is serving as a shield against further Democratic attacks - they've already taken Rumsfeld, they're going after Rove, and they're trying to get Gonzales - however, and so it is important perhaps that he remain so that our government isn't enveloped in hearings aimed at President Bush. Regardless it is stupid.
Yet what I'm really upset about, is the total and complete gutlessness of the Democratic party. They have pursued non-binding resolution after non-binding resolution. The binding resolutions they pass are quickly vetoed, or never even make it to a vote (as with the recent - Defeat America Now resolutions). Then they try to pass votes of no confidence.
If the Democrats really want to clean up Washington, they could start by actually DOING things.
That's not to say I'd support the things they are doing - I would still oppose most of them, because I believe they are wrong policies that will dig this country into a whole.
However, it is much easier to oppose something that exists, than something that is just angry words on a piece of paper.
