SHARE More Sharing

Early voting for the Texas March 4th Democratic Primary Election, which started on Tuesday February 19 and continues through Friday February 29, has been astoundingly heavy.

The Impeachment of Attorney General Alberto Gonzales
SHARE More Sharing
Robert Kuttner, co-editor of The American Prospect, a fellow at Demos and Boston Globe columnist, writes in his Globe column this week, "The House of Representatives should begin impeachment proceedings against Attorney General Alberto Gonzales... The offenses of this Cabinet member criticized by both parties, and the stonewalling by the White House, have given ample justification for impeachment... The firings of US attorneys had multiple political motives, all contrary to longstanding practice... It's hard to imagine a more direct assault on the impartiality of the law or the professionalism of the criminal justice system... There are several other reasons to remove Gonzales, all involving his cavalier contempt for courts and liberties of citizens, most recently in the FBI's more than 3,000 cases of illegal snooping on Americans... It's time for an impeachment, not just to oust Gonzales, but as a salutary warning to his superiors.... "

Election Rigged for the GOP, Or Just More Bush Admin Denial
SHARE More Sharing
To Rove and the small cadre of operatives who have been at his side throughout the administration -- including Republican National Committee Chairman Ken Mehlman and White House political director Sara Taylor -- confidence that Republicans will keep their majorities in Congress flows from a conviction that a political operation that has produced three consecutive national victories is capable of one more, despite voter disaffection with Iraq and GOP scandals in Washington. Does that political operation include control of electronic-voting machines?
