Ashcroft resigns

“This can't be a bad thing.

http://www.cnn.com/2004/ALLPOLITICS/11/09/cabinet.resignations/”

“No. Or could they find someone worse?

The bad thing will be when Dick resigns.”

“Bush lost his "Otto Thierack"!? Too bad. :( Maybe he wants to take up dancing?”

“good riddance”

“May the door not hit them in the ass!”

“Oh, this is Tree!”

“
”

“Now, he's got all the time in the world to read some books. How about this one: "The Strategy of Trying To Win Election Over A Dead Man" By I.M. Dead”

“I had just read an article in Business Week that said Ashcroft would resign. It also mentioned that there would be more shakeups in Bush adminstration.

There are quite a few interesting articles on what Bush could do to unite this country, what the Democrats need to do now, etc.”

“Under Ashcroft, the United States passed the Patriot Act, kept terrorism off U.S. soil since 9-11-01, and saw the lowest levels of crime in over 30 years. That is a tough act to follow. No Democratic Attorney General ever had such a list of accomplishments.”

“You know what,Ewker. They can print all the BS rhetoric that they want. If this guy wants to unite this country, he may as start already. He's proven that he couldn't unite a ten piece jigsaw puzzle even if his fourth grade teacher helped him with it. So, when he actually does something besides this 'my way or the highway' crap, then I will believe it. Until then, he's the same proven failure he was efore the election. This wonderful record being touted here speaks volumes for itself.

So far, all I have heard is more muscle flexing from the little preppie about spending his political capital he has gained. Oh, I forgot. The one specific that Rove laid out about this administration and that is the revival of the same sex marriage ban, amending the constitution. If he wants to work this issue, I sugest he start with keeping perverts like Bacpac out of the parks and rest areas. he's giving homosexuals a bad name!”

“Lowest levels of crime? All atributed to Ashcroft? Wow!

God Bless the Patriot Act! Death to all those who Oppose Us! God Bless God and His Only Begotten Son...........ur........Bush & Ashcroft.”

“Yeah, we have experienced lower levels of crime here in NYC, Prosecutor. And, not one iota of it can be credited to Asscroft. Credit goes to David Dinkins for initiating our 'Safe City, Safe Streets' legislation. Tnen, to Mayor Guiliani for continuing the effort. And to good police work by the NYPD. You should give credit where it is due, dude!”

“Now Tree, it's obvious they drew strength and resolve from The One and were able to get the money and tools for this successful war. It's trickle down crime fighting.

I shudder to think how unsafe you'll be now. Good luck and God Speed.”

“Thanks. I'm quaking in my boots. The next time I get mugged by an escapee from Guantanamo, I will let Prosecutor rip me a new one for not believing him...”

“Tree, the article just said it was somethings he needed to do. they said he probably wouldn't though.

prosecutor, likes to come in and say one thing then bolt.

if you want a good laugh go to backpacker forums and read a thread he started called Be A Republican”

“Love that thread!

BTW - crime seems to have no where to go but up now. So in a year when everyone blames the loss of Ashcroft please remember this article:

This sounds like a real puke inducer, Ewk!”

“They've put Giulianni at the top of the list to replace Ashcroft. He says he doesn't want it. It would get in the way of his '08 Presidential bid.”

“Lighten up guys. Prosecutor is welcome to his opinion and besides he'd be the best damn trail chef AG in history.”

“Jo, I admit prosecutor is a good cook and a heck of a nice person. I just get tired of the Bush is almighty and can do no wrong routine.”

“Who said Prosecutor isn't welcomed to his opinion?

We're all voicing our opinions freely, no?”

“It might have been better to have done something to keep terrorism off U.S. soil BEFORE 9-11-01.


Ben-Veniste: You said that you would start each meeting discussing either counter-terrorism or counter-intelligence. At the same time, the threat level was going up and was very high. Mr. Watson [FBI official] had come to you and said that the CIA was very concerned that there would be an attack. You said that you told the attorney general this fact repeatedly in these meetings. Is that correct?

Pickard: I told him at least on two occasions.

Ben-Veniste: And you told the staff, according to this statement, that Mr. Ashcroft told you that he did not want to hear about this anymore. Is that correct?

Pickard: That is correct.”

“DOH!

I think 9-11 is Janet's fault, no?

I mean that's how it works, right?

Good things: republicans did it
Bad things: the preceding DEM administration(s) did it.”

“Hello Prosecutor, welcome to your opinions and everyone else's too!!”

“Ashcroft looks so good because he followed Democrat Janet Reno. Under the Democratic administration, innocent people were killed at Waco, Ruby Ridge, people deported by force to Cuba without a court hearing, and a refusal to allow the FBI to search an al Qaeda computer.”

“But crime was decreasing, overall, no?

And there were no terrorist attacks on US soil so I would say Janet did a better job.”

as far as Waco, and I admit I didn't read all about it but weren't most people killed by a fire that was started where they were holding up.

Ruby Ridge was a screw up IMO but not totally sure you can blame that on Reno

deporting people back to Cuba without a court hearing...were these people here illegally, if so do it. no court hearing was needed

can't comment on the last one since I know nothing about it.”

“Yes. Some people are all for tougher immigration laws unless a sensationalized incident helps there side of the propoganda machine.

I like the last note, also, about a computer

This obviously, held everything and resulted in 9-11.”

You mean like the '93 WTC bombing?”

“It appears that Alberto Gonzales is to be nominated to replace Ashcroft.”

“TDale, Reno was in office for 15 days when the WTC bombings took place. So officially she was there but I doubt in 15 days you could have been brought up on everything that was going on.”

“Or we could compare the destruction between '93 and '01.

Can some one explain (again?) why those who favor increased immigration restrictions rally around that child?”

“bm, they were trying to pull at people's heart strings. It is bad the kid lost one of his parents but he is no different that anyone who comes into this country illegally. they should be put on the next plane, train or automobiles out.”

“Yes. It's hypocracy at it's finest and pretty damn shameless.”

“OK - Now maybe I'm not so elated. I was thinking "how could Bush appoint someone worse than Ashcroft".

Well it is reported that he has selected Alberto "The Geneva Conventions are Quaint" Gonzales.”

“interesting, Business week had him as a possible Supreme Court Justice after Rehnquist dies or retires”

What do you think Ashcroft's gonna do...

Moo ha ha ha ha :)”

“nope, that won't happen”

“It will in Violin's nightmares tonight.”

“DROP THE CHALUPA!!!


”

“Yo Tengo Taco Bell?”

“Nope Bison - Bush already has someone lined up for Rehnquist's job:

”

“It's being reported that Ashcroft is the next host of "Dance Fever".”

“I heard that if you play one of his recording backwards, you can faintly hear him saying that Bush is the anti-Christ”

“The Democratic administratin under Janet Reno originally said that the courts should determine who should have custody of Alberto Gonzales and to determine if he had the right to ask for asylum. When the courts ruled that his Uncle in the United States should get custody, Janet Reno went back on her word and ordered that he be taken by force and deported without any court hearing. People are entitled to and get court hearings on requests for asylum all the time, but not this time. Janet Reno obtained a search warrant to seize Alberto Gonzales by alleging under oath that he was "secretly confined". At the time, a pool television camera crew was outside his residence giving live broadcasts of his location 24 hours a day, making the allegation of "secret confinement" false.”

“Ashcroft has made the world safe from crime and terror, him personnally! I've never heard such an egotistical resignation letter.”
