Tancredo: Time for Gonzales to 'Move On'

By JENNIFER TALHELM
Associated Press Writer




WASHINGTON (AP) -- Presidential hopeful Tom Tancredo has joined the growing chorus of lawmakers calling for U.S. Attorney General Alberto Gonzales to resign - only not for the usual reason.

Unlike others criticizing Gonzales over the recent firing of eight U.S. attorneys, the Colorado Republican said the embattled attorney general should go because of "a series of leadership failures" - chiefly his handling of illegal immigration prosecutions.

"Gonzales' legacy at the (Justice Department) has been one of misplaced priorities, political miscalculation, and a failure to enforce the laws which he has sworn to uphold," Tancredo said in a statement Tuesday. "I think that it is time for him to move on."

1. Isn't that special
The last paragraph is correct. gonzo is a perfect representative of the republican party as is tancredo and coulter. It must really suck to have to publicly disavow someone you would rather continue to stay in the job and lie and undermine the justice system.

4. Wow.
For once, I actually AGREE with a stance Tom Tancredo has taken. That's just amazing!

The man is a tool. He's the shame of the state of Colorado, along with Marilyn "Muskrat" Musgrave and Wayne Allard.

5. Your wishes are sincere
tancredo is just an arrogant slut saying what he thinks will get him votes. Don't fret. Every state has knuckleheads in Washington "representing" them.

6. I know.
I just wish some people in this state would realize all that. Tancredo was reelected fairly easily. Sometimes, I really wonder about the people in this country.

Oh, did I say "sometimes?" I mean "every day since the 2000 Presidential Election."
