Key Republicans question Gonzales' credibility
POSTED: 1:05 p.m. EDT, March 25, 2007

WASHINGTON (AP) -- Republican support for Attorney General Alberto Gonzales eroded Sunday as three key senators sharply questioned his truthfulness and a Democrat joined the list of lawmakers who want him to resign over the firing of eight federal prosecutors.

"We have to have an attorney general who is candid and truthful. And if we find out he's not been candid and truthful, that's a very compelling reason for him not to stay on," said Sen. Arlen Specter, the top Republican on the Senate Judiciary Committee, which oversees the Justice Department.

To Sen. Chuck Hagel, R-Nebraska, Gonzales "does have a credibility problem. ... We govern with one currency, and that's trust. And that trust is all important. And when you lose or debase that currency, then you can't govern. And I think he's going to have some difficulties."

Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-South Carolina, said Gonzales has been "wounded" by the firings. "He has said some things that just don't add up," said Graham, who is on the Senate Judiciary Committee.

Don't count on them to do anything significant, though.

3. Everyone should question him.

He has made many contradicting statements.

Honestly, if he would have just came out and stated he knew about the firings and did it for whatever reason I wouldn't be as concerned as I am.

The fact he has made so many statements that contradict from the material released is what gets me going. Its like his initial thought process was to lie about what happened instead of being forthright and honest. Why do that?

If he doesn't have some stellar reason for what happened than he is either:

1. Stupid.
2. Dishonest.
3. Stupid and dishonest.

He will give those reasons this week, so I'll hold off until then of deciding how to classify him.

4. Well, gee ... since some Republicans are criticizing his credibility it must be a real problem.

5. gonzo is bush's YES MAN and will do whatever he is told, including lying to Congress......

gonzo has NO CREDIBILITY and will ultimately be forced to resign. How many times do the blatant liars of the bushco regime lie and are caught before they are forced to leave office.
