Senator Kennedy - need to vent
Just need to vent a little about Senator Kennedy and his opposition to President Bush's selection for Attorney General.
He was on the news talking about Mr. Gonzalez and his inability to remember "horrid details" of how the US is treating captured prisoners. How the US is treating prisoners is one issue, but for him to accuse anyone else of having a poor memory, or attempting to cover anything up seems like a bit of double speak. I'm too young to remember the details of Senator Kennedy's infamous attempt to float an Oldsmobile, but didn't he claim he couldn't remember the details immediately afterwards ? Isn't that why he didn't get around to calling EMS, or even reporting it to the police til several hours later ? The way he treated Ms. Rice was another issue entirely. He doesn't realize that his disapproval will only increase her approval rating on a national basis. He is a walking, talking, classic posterboy for term limits.

He is one of my most unfavorite politicians of all time...he killed a woman, got no jail time and now serves a basically communist state of Massachusetts.

Senator Kennedy is the definition of special interest groups ...he is bought and payed for and wrapped up in a pretty little ribbon for the state...He has two bothers whose legacy is they lost their lives in the name of public service and he will milk that till he is over-run...Senator Kennedy unlike other less reknowned Senators is known for being a no-good useless S.O.B. some guys just arent that famous yet...but give them time...

Well, as much as I dislike Kennedy and the rest of his liberal buddies, for once I agree that Alberto Gonzoles should not have been confirmed as Attorney General.
Before you all start lighting the pilot lights on your flame throwers, Mr. Gonzoles has stated that he will push for the reinstatement of the assault weapons ban. As far as I am concerned, he should be run out on a rail, tarred and feathers and forced to go back from whence he came. I'll even provide the flat rock. Paul B.

Dog Yeller. I sent you the following as an E-mail as well as posting it here. Unfortunately, he got confirmed today.
Paul B. AG-nominee Backs Semi-auto Ban -- Gonzales tells Senate he supports gun control Gun Owners of America E-Mail Alert 8001 Forbes Place, Suite 102, Springfield, VA 22151 Phone: 703-321-8585 / FAX: 703-321-8408 http://www.gunowners.org Tuesday, January 25, 2005 Testifying before the U.S. Senate last week, Alberto Gonzales announced he supports President Bush's position on the semi-auto ban. "The president has made it clear that he stands ready to sign a reauthorization of the federal assault weapons ban if it is sent to him by Congress," Gonzales said. "I, of course, support the president on this issue." While some might be tempted to give Gonzales a "pass" since he was parroting his boss' position, Gonzales went even further, indicating that gun control was a heart-felt position of his own. He spoke of his brother, who is a Houston SWAT officer, and said, "I worry about his safety and the types of weapons he will confront on the street." Hence, he supports a prohibition on semi-automatics that, in truth, only amounts to a ban on ugly guns. GOA activists are certainly aware of the fact that President Bush has repeatedly trumpeted his support for the Clinton semi-auto ban which expired last September. But every time Bush has opened his mouth on this issue, GOA activists have led the way in bombarding the White House. And that is why it is VERY important that gun rights supporters take the President to the "political woodshed" once again. No, we probably won't change his mind on this issue. But if we barrage his office with phone calls, faxes and e-mails, it is very possible that we will increase his reluctance to push the ban. Most likely, our stiff opposition in the past has already accomplished this. A frequent complaint during the campaign last year was that Bush was doing very little to press Congressional Republicans to send him gun ban legislation. Remember the third presidential debate last year? Bush was asked, "You said if Congress would vote to extend the ban on assault weapons, that you'd sign the legislation, but you did nothing to encourage Congress to extend it." Yes, maybe Bush was trying to have it both ways. But your outspoken opposition to the ban has certainly not hurt our efforts to restrain the President from pushing it. So please make sure you contact President Bush. While some might think that an anti-gun Attorney General is limited in the amount of damage he can inflict upon the Second Amendment, we can be sure that his position on critical court cases could affect our gun rights for generations to come. Remember that it was former Attorney General, John Ashcroft, who opposed us on the important Emerson case that came before the Supreme Court not too long ago. A Fifth Circuit District Court had initially ruled in favor of Second Amendment rights, arguing that a federal gun statute was unconstitutional -- the law disarmed citizens who were not guilty of any crime or had not been convicted by any jury. After the Appeals Court reversed the decision, Dr. Emerson appealed to the Supreme Court. While the Supremes refused to hear the case, gun owners did not fail notice that General Ashcroft was in full support of how the Emerson case was ultimately decided -- thus, putting him in total support of the federal gun restrictions. Not only that, but the Ashcroft-led Justice Department also opposed gun owners in the Silveira semi-auto ban case and the Lamar Bean case. All of this to say, it is imperative that we speak out once again -- if for no other reason than to remind President Bush there are millions of gun owners that he, and his party, cannot afford to take for granted. ACTION: Please contact President Bush and express your outrage that he would nominate an Attorney General who supports a federal ban on semi-automatic firearms. You can visit the Gun Owners Legislative Action Center at http://www.gunowners.org/activism.htm to send a pre-written e-mail message to President Bush. To call or snail mail the President regarding the semi-auto ban, you can use the following contact info: President George Bush 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW Washington, DC 20500 Fax: 202-456-2461 or 202-456-1907 Phone: 202-456-1414 ----- Pre-written letter ----- Dear President Bush: I am very disappointed that you would nominate an anti-gun Attorney General such as Alberto Gonzales. He supports the Clinton ban on semi-automatic firearms, and I think that's a travesty. Please realize that you were reelected President, in large part, because gun owners opposed the cockeyed positions of your opponent. I would expect to see a bigger difference between the two of you when it comes to Second Amendment issues. In the future, I hope you will use the Second Amendment as a litmus test in nominating candidates who oppose gun control when filling important administrative and judicial positions. Thank you.

PJ, I never heard anything about Gonzales from the NRA. Nothing at all. I'm not saying that I'm doubting Gun Owners of America, I just think it's odd I didn't hear anything, if they did - I missed it.
