INCREDIBLE: Gonzalez Fired U.S. Attorneys Over ACORN?
THIS IS UNBELIEVABLE! It looks like President Bush's efforts to fix Fannie and Freddie weren't the only reforms obstructed by Congressional Democrats. Check out the epilogue piece on the firing of the U.S. Attorneys back in 2007 posted below. What terrible irony! The Bush Administration's good work was, once again, decried by Democrats. Gonzalez resigned, and now ACORN has manifested itself as a major problem in Election 2008. When will Americans wake up and notice the pattern undergirding liberal lies?Democrats charge that the Bush administration went to extraordinary and perhaps illegal lengths to pursue voter fraud allegations.Last month, a report from the Justice Department's inspector general and Office of Professional Responsibility found that former attorney general Alberto Gonzales fired the United States attorney in New Mexico, David Iglesias, in December of 2006 after top Republicans in the state complained that Iglesias hadn’t aggressively pursued voter-fraud cases after the 2004 election.
It was the ACORN issue that partly led to Iglesias being fired.Patrick Rogers, a New Mexico Republican activist, complained in a March 2006 e-mail to a Justice Department official that Iglesias and his assistant "were not much help during the ACORN fraudulent registration debacle" in the 2004 election when the group was accused of submitting fraudulent registrations in the state.
That same motive — insufficient zeal in prosecuting alleged vote fraud — may have played a role in the firing of the United States attorney in Seattle, John McKay.
But Republicans say the U.S. attorneys controversy doesn’t undercut their fundamental contention: Voter fraud has occurred and may occur again this year.
While Republicans accuse Democrats of benefiting from voter fraud, Democrats fire back that Republicans are trying to suppress the Democratic vote by too stringent rules on voter identification.
Oh, the lengths the Republicans will go to justify their bad acts! The Bush Administration was shown to have politicized the justice department for the lack of pursuing politically motivated cases. Of course it is the Democrats that were actually at fault! That makes perfect sense.
If there were a legitimate case to be made Iglesias would have made it. There wasn't. He didn't.
It is amazing how you all only recognize this stuff three weeks before an election (when you are behind). Your case might even be worth consideration if it didn't pass the smell test. It doesn't. No thinking person believes Gonzales was doing his job legally or effectively. This is simply another smear.
