Aren't republicans calling for resignations? DIdn't 95% of the senate vote to roll back the additional powers granted to the US attorney general? How can this situation possibly be looked at as partisan?

It's not partisanship. Not only that, but I can't help but think that if Bush & Co. didn't have anything to hide, he wouldn't have any problem with White House officials being subpoenaed.

It's clearly partisan when the Presidents opposing party calls for heads to roll when nobody has done anything wrong. They are trying to create the illusion of scandal. Don't forget that Clinton did the same sort of firings on a much larger scale and the Democrats were fine with it. The attorneys are appointed by the President and can be fired by him at his discretion.

you have a distinctive handle certainty than I do. Now does not that be specific if we understood everyones legislative agendas a similar way. There does not be a want for lovable little words like; conservative or liberal.... that could be exciting! i attempt to stay with maximum political proposals and that i'm specific i does not omit one that could do away with taxes on the wealthy (uber-wealthy?). yet, it might desire to have had wings because of fact i did not hear approximately it. I did hear from warring parties that Bush became attempting to do away with taxes for the wealthy yet that became organic rhetoric, you recognize, while a candidate is on the stump they don't might desire to tell the certainty. In different words: A campaign pledge isn't a real mandate! in no way has been, in no way would be. on the problem of repealing the valuables tax, that doesn't merely persist with to the wealthy by using an prolonged shot. there are a number of electorate interior the traditional or low to center type that could desire to pay huge time taxes on inheritance. might you extremely that for the period of basic terms the low and center type be eligable for this benifit? looks that removing a form of persons from a tax harm could be form of, yea; conservative! Stem cellular should not be a central authority determination and liberals might desire to get at the back of that concept. besides, in basic terms the risky edge as understood by using the ethical majority are against any stem cellular analyze. the sole element sounding pathetic is you element. You needless to say have some wisdom of politics and could understand that what you're beating your drum approximately is replace that turns with the tide. A republican right here, a democrat there. this is going to artwork itself out interior the top except, some farther away than extensive-unfold liberal or conservative thinks there might desire to in basic terms be one occasion... Now does not that be specific and smack of elected dictators.

Because it is.
Partisanship is the game of calling your opponent on his behavior regardless of the fact that you are guilty of the same.
The democrats have conveniently forgotten that Clinton did the same thing...but to 93 attorneys.
**** **** ****
Attorney General Janet Reno had the Justice Department moving and shaking. She requested the prompt resignation of all 93 U.S. Attorneys around the country "to build a team" that represents "my views" and those of the President.

They're trying to push off "neo-cons good, liberals bad" thing. Look at some of the answers here on Y!A. Like robots...that's why I call them Bushbots!
I'm a conservative. I don't support Bush. In fact, he's a closet LIBERAL.

Because the democrats are doing everything they can to cause problems with this administration. Bush has given in to them every time. But enough is enough. You know it is just a head hunt. Those republicans are scared . They only want to appear on the Dem's side in case they win the white house. democrats have no ideas so they spend their time trying to tear everyone else down. This accomplishes nothing.

When one engages in a particular behavior,it's a common tactic used by the right to accuse your opponents of engaging in that self same activity.
They've been doing it for years.But when the majority of your own party are in opposition to you,it's a pretty pathetic tactic,and a sign of desperation..

Because it is partisanship.
Most things in Washington are "partisan".
Two political parties and all that.
