Say "no" to Guantanamo Gonzales
from - smijer
Of course Democrats need to be making noise about Gonzales and his thoughts about the "quaintness" of the Geneva conventions and Presidential authority to ignore them, and about his role in the Texas execution mill, and in defending Enron. But wouldn't it be awesome if they were also making noise about a positive alternative?
Let's remind people what they could have had. Let's get a vocal campaign going to vote "no" for Gonzales confirmation (don't filibuster - we want Republican Senators on record voting for him), and to vote "yes" for John F. Kerry. Instead of Abu Ghraib Alberto Gonzales for A.G., we could have:
An experienced prosecutorA seasoned investigator who exposed government involvement in drug traffickin as part of Reagan's effort to finance the Nicarauguan Contra terrorists
Someone who recognized the threat of terrorism and moved to shut down a terrorist money laundering bank, while the rest of the government was still in the "arms for hostages" mode of thinking.
Come 'on George, when were we gonna get some of that healin'?!

I found the website that you gave as your source to be EXTREMELY biased. When I read material that is totally biased, I always wonder if the purpose is truth or a political agenda.
