If you look more closely at Rove's motives, rigging elections was one of the big agendas of this administration. They targeted 12 and removed 8 who were in key states. Arkansas may be a little more complex: since one of Roves unqualified friends was proposed. AND under the Patriot Act these appointments did not undergo congressional oversight. You must give them credit for a great scheme.

OO7: I think the Bush administration should have done EVERYTHING the way Clinton did. We would have been far better off. Why stop at half measures?

Just the: If this is true, ( beyond incompetance and crony-ism) then why did this issue balloon up into the problem it has become? What ELSE is the underlying reason? Why is Monica Goodling afraid to testify? You forget: Gonzales is NOT the president's lawyer. He works for the American people. By the way, it would aid your stature and credibility to be civil and respectful.
Anything less sets a bad example for others.

Yes, that is mostly what it was about.
Rove's main agenda was to produce a permanent republicans majority. It may backfire and end up bringing on a permanent republican minority.
Some morons will bring up Clinton's firing of all the US Attorneys and totally disregard the fact that Bush fired all the US Attorneys when he first entered the White House

That sounds more like a conspiracy theory than anything plausible.
Keep in mind those AGs were not investigating the president or the first lady when they were dismissed, they were not prosecuting specific cases or were not moving fast enough. The office is set in place by law to support the president, study the law, it is pretty clear.
Unlike the clear mandate the democrats supposedly had for Iraq, well apparently there was no mandate for Iraq because Americans think the job the democrats are doing is WRONG.
62% of Americans disapprove of the Democrats handling of Iraq, while only 37% approve (ABC News/Washington Post, 4/12-15, 2007).
You do know conspiracy theorists are generally suffering from paranoia. Do you ever think people are spying on you? See what I mean?

Talk about "delusional". Have you been paying attention to the news? The President has the right to dismiss US Attorneys, any time he wishes. Try to get your arms around that fact. Mr. Bush did what he felt best for the country. He does not need a reason to dismiss any US Attorney. Your comments about rigging elections are just plain absurd. The liberal main stream media and liberal Democrats scrutinize everything the Administration does. Beside you, no one has made a claim of rigged elections. Carl Rove is an adviser to the President. His role is to give advice. He does not have "motives."

The truth of the matter is- the president had EVERY LEGAL RIGHT to fire the whole damned rats nest of scummy left wing lawyers. You ostriches have not had your heads out of the dirt long enough to know that that's how it's done in the real world.

they should have removed them all, like Clinton did, he removed 98 to get rid off the white water investigator and cover up. no one questioned it because it is within the President's discretion.
