It's only right that he should. Bush and his staff are probably the one's who recommended that he fire them. He was only the hatchet man. He should have tried to be his own man, but that could have been one of the conditions for his appointment. We need to remember that these cabinet positions are very coveted by most politicians.

Well, it's fitting that bush would back Gonzales, especially since it's likely that he and his staff had something to do with the firings. In a way I guess it's better to support him than just throw him under the bus.
But I wouldn't call it right.
I mean If I tell you to do something wrong, and then stick up for you when you get in trouble, does that make me right?

Are you serious? You think that they should be able to fire whoever they want whenever for any reason?
Politicians can't just fire people in the government order to give their party an advantage.
If we let that happen than one party would eventually take control and our system of government would collapse.
It was an obvious abuse of power and your answer is ignorant. nothin personal :)

Yes, because Bush values loyalty above all else.
Gonzales may or may not be mildly incompetent in his position as AG, and may or may not have acted unethically. But he did exactly what Bush wanted him to do, so Bush should back him.
Gonzales should still be removed from his position if it is determined that he violated his oath of office or violated the ethical standards for attorneys. But that has nothing to do with Bush abandoning him just because Gonzales did what he was told to do.

i think that gonzales shouldnt have gotten this all mixed up to begin with in the first place. if there was a good reason to fire those people then there shouldnt be no problems

yes. nothing illegal or even wrong was done when the USAs were asked to resign. if gonzales resigns over this it will only encourage democrats to start more investigations about nothing. they dont have an agenda so what else will they do?

I think it doesn't matter who, why, how, where, or when the attorneys were fired.
Tell the democrats to stop trying to create perjury traps, and get on with their jobs, it's ridiculous. Hoping that someone will mix up a name or date so they can press charges.

I couldn't care less about anything that bush believes. The entire bush administration is evil. Throw them all out.

Yes for there to be loyalty up there must be loyalty down.
