Why is Charles Schumer on Fox extolling the virtues of Gonzales?

And suggesting that torture might be a good thing?

Can I please have an explanation from those on this board who seem to think he isn't a waste of oxygen?

1. Yet another example of why people see democrats as nothing but republicans
in cheaper suits.

3. Because he's a yes man ...
Retired Brigadier General James Cullen commented on how disappointed he was in Shu-mer for "going along to get along". I've been spreading the news that Twelve (12) General Officers and Admirals have forward a letter to the Hill Re: Their reservations about Gonzales' Confirmation.

These people are highly respected, not a bunch of wild eyed leftists. Still, why is only Democracy Now and NPR (in brief passing) the only news outlets covering this story?

4. Another reason
for those of us who do not accept this crap to break away from the Democratic Party and start fresh.

I am sick and tired of apologists for this misadministration.

8. because Chuck Schumer -- my senator -- is a butthead . . .
the byword in New York is that the most dangerous place to be -- on the campaign trail or otherwise -- is between Schumer and a tv camera . . . if there was ever a bigger self-promoter in Congress, I haven't found him/her yet . . .

9. This is because Charles Schumer's agenda is the same as that of
Ariel Sharon. He has been recruited to sell the idea that Arabs are terrorists and Americans are in the same boat as the Israelis.This is why he voted for the invasion of Iraq without evidence, and is now condoning torture because the people who are being tortured are Iraqis (i.e Arabs). So long as Arabs are demonized, you will find Schumer, Hillary Clinton, Rumsfeld and others cheerleading the operation.

11. By the Democrats themselves, I presume.

On Edit: After reading one of the previous posts, it is more likely he recruited himself.
