Mixed Emotions About Gonzales

Commentary for Monday 03/26/2007 Indecision!

Say it Isn't So! I always thought that mixed emotion was "watching your Mother-in-Law drive over a cliff in your brand new car." But the possibility of getting Alberto Gonzales to answer a few questions, especially about the unfair prosecutions of the Border Patrol Agents, Jose Alonso Compeanand and Ignacio Ramos would be worth seeing. It would be good to see Gonzales take a hike to where he came from. Also included in his department's unfair prosecutions was the local Sheriff's Deputy Gilmer Hernandez from Rocksprings, Texas by the one and same U.S. Attorney Sutton. We think that the Bush Administration bent the rules of Justice against these men to pacify Mexico. President Bush doesn't leave much room for support here, so here at Daylite Sun we are kinda-sorta, on the fence, even though we generally like to support the President.

The Democrats: For their part, the Democrats are just on a fishing expedition hoping to ensnare Karl Rove and further the destruction of Bush. This is definitely a witch hunt but their willing allies, the Press, are willing to promote the idea of a scandal, even though there is none. Daylite Sun does not support this witch hunt. It is the other matter with respect to Alberto Gonzales that we have an issue.

In short: We think the President is wrong on immigration, and has been a disappointment in his handling of Iraq. However, we approve of Bush when he takes a stand and refuses to cater to his opposition. The problems he has had over the past two years was in not being more forceful. Half-way measures have been his hallmark. I expect better from my President than mediocrity and half-measures to placate those that you believe to be wrong. Ideas cannot be honestly tested without their full enactment. When an idea is fully tested, only then can it's value be ascertained. For example; You propose to build a house. Your proposal calls for 200 ea. 2" x 4" boards. But your opposition can see that you might be able to build a pretty good house with those 200 boards and oppose you. You want to build the house so bad, that you compromise with your opposition and agree that you will only use 150 boards. The delivered house turns out to be too small and as a result, nobody is happy. The result of compromise is often a failure because the original idea was never tested.

On the Fence: Until I see some accountability for the pernicious prosecution of those Border Gaurds and that Deputy, I could care less if Gonzales has to resign. It is a shameful position by me, because if he does resign, it will probably not be because of Sutton and his prosecutions. Sutton should also have to hit the trail, right along with Gonzales.
