Democrats...concluded they didn't have the political stomach to block him

[RaulVB]

By Dana Milbank, WaPo:

"Ultimately, Democrats concluded they had neither the votes nor the political stomach to block confirmation of Gonzales, who would be the first Hispanic to hold the nation's highest law enforcement office. After a bruising debate last week followed by the confirmation of Condoleezza Rice as the first black woman to be secretary of state, some Democrats were concerned that they would be perceived as opposing qualified minority candidates. At a private luncheon yesterday, freshman Sen. Ken Salazar (D-Colo.), who is Hispanic, defended Gonzales to Democratic colleagues."

3. How could you NOT have the stomach to block him?

That's like not having the guts to stop a guy from beating up on an old man.

Pathetic. Simply pathetic.

May God have mercy on us all. If Gonzalez is can get away with torture, imagine what kind of justice the rest of us are going to get.

4. I can only think of 'repug-light', as far as Salazar is concerned...

in fact I think that repugs are now infiltrating the real dems, to keep them in line for their masters.
If you follow my drift!
