watching c-span - if i hear
one more sappy story about Alberto Gonzales growing up in a house his parents built i am going to barf. you know lots of us grew up in ghettos and in the north or south or where ever and had sucky lives. i have to say i am happy shit went his way. i am happy he took advantage of the stuff like um minority oh i dont know perhaps financial aid and other things that were available and maybe lets see it was the 60s so there was quotas that needed to be filled. So there was help during the the times for minorities who wanted to suceed. otherwise we wouldnt have so many successful black/latinos in there 40s/50s right now. and we do. so please lets stop trying to make it like this was a miracle.

i know a lot of people who did well in the world in all colors. just because they dont work for the government does not make them less then a worthy person. i am very confused by all of this background on both him and condi and the fact that we should look away from their short comings and give them the job only because of the way they grew up.

hell opera had a hard life too but thats not why she got a TV show.

sorry i needed to vent.

1. Bill Clinton grew up with nothing, and these people hate him
So, I really don't give a shit about how rough these people had it.

2. Damn good point.
It doesn't matter where you start in life, it's where you end up.

I hear Stalin had a rough youth as well.

Gonzalez is a monster who justified torture. TORTURE! And he gets promoted.

5. Excellent point
and Clinton didn't even know his own father and his mother was abused and he grew up without a father. jeez no one built his freaking house! he was really a sad story. what? its OK because he was white? well let me tell you he has a soul that these men would never know about. a soul Alberto Gonzales never had regardless of his sir name. or condi rice regardless of her skin color.

These people are just such two faced hypocrites and i cant stand them. and the thing that makes me more angry is when they say we are prejudice. that is disgusting and makes me ill. they cant help but bring race into everything.

i think bush really wants to have the first Latino and first black woman thing go down into the history books. and so he shall.

6. That's exactly it
Its all image, just like everything in this administration. It doesn't matter what kind of unqualified, immoral, unethical sleazebags these people are. All that matters to Bush is that history will say that his was the first administration with a Black SOS and a Hispanic AG.

That's all. It doesn't matter that one is responsible for 9/11 and the WMD lies, and that the other supports torture and rejects the Geneeva Convention.

Its all about image, not substance.

3. oh, well, that makes it ok to avocate torture, then.
(/sarcasm)

(directed and GOP apologists for Gonzales, not thread originator)
