No More Ashcroft?

Post by Nathan F »

If Bush were to fire Ashcroft and hire someone a bit more, uhm, mainstream, would you change your opinion enough to change your vote?

Ashcroft is a problem, but he is not the biggest problem with the administration.

Depends; the guy in question has to be substantially better. If he is I'd probably end up switching my vote back to Bush.

Hell, no. Why the fuck should I, when I can be assured of getting rid of both assclowns by voting someone else into the presidency?

Hmm, let's see, vote for the neo-theocracist if he promises to get rid of one of his theocratic flunkies? It's like asking if I'd be willing to drop charges against the murderer of my daughter if he offed his accomplice.

Get rid of Ashcroft and Rumsfeld and I might think about it for a few minutes.

If I knew 100% for certain Asscroft would be out, I still wouldn't vote for him.

Anyone who rams this country into an unnecessary war against a country which poses no conceivable threat on the strength of wholly manufactured "evidence", and in the process bankrupts the treasury, and then justifies it all by gibbering about some overarching mission to spread freedom and democracy everywhere in adherence to what he receives as God's will is either the blackest liar or certifiably insane —and in no way belongs in charge of a pay toilet station much less the government of the United States.

Sorry, what now? The same administration that brought us Asscroft, Gale Norton, Wolfie and Rummy is supposed to gain my support after dropping one measly member? How about Bush fires his entire gang then takes a nice, permanent vacation at Alcatraz.

That punk will NEVER get my vote.
"Right now we can tell you a report was filed by the family of a 12 year old boy yesterday afternoon alleging Mr. Michael Jackson of criminal activity. A search warrant has been filed and that search is currently taking place. Mr. Jackson has not been charged with any crime. We cannot specifically address the content of the police report as it is confidential information at the present time, however, we can confirm that Mr. Jackson forced the boy to listen to the Howard Stern show and watch the movie Private Parts over and over again."

While i despise General Asshat for his anti-pr0n war, it's much simpler to simply vote in a new president. Bush goes, so goes Asshat. I for one do not want another 4 years of shrub.

My beef isn't just with Bush's administration, its with the President himself. There is no reason that anyone that stupid should be calling the shots in one of teh world's most powerful nations. There's nothing stopping Bush from continuing to do ridiculous things and make idiotic executive decisions based on tenuous knowledge of the facts with Asscrfot gone, so I'd rather have both of them turfed by voting for Kerry.

Also it would be too much the Machevellian "Bad General" ploy, which I think the Bush administration used up earlier with Saddam...
