Reply #6: The more I learn about Porter Goss, the more disgusted I am

"If he votes for him it is my guess he will probably retain him."

Oh please don't say that. It would ruin my whole perception of Kerry.

If I thought, for even a second, that Kerry would keep him on, I couldn't vote for Kerry, because the administration would just be the same old same old. Not anywhere near as bad as Bush, of course, but weak, ineffective, and not able to accomplish much because they're cowed by the loudmouthed conservatives.

Maybe I'm naive, but I really believed all the feel-good stuff spouted at the convention.

Kerry, assuming he wins, is supposed to sweep in and clean house, out with the old right-wing shit, in with a new, honest, idealistic government. Why would Kerry keep a man who was against investigating the Valerie Plame outing, Abu Ghraib, Chalabi?

Why would any Democrat with even an ounce of integrity confirm this slimeball?

All Democrats have to pound out loud and long, from every rooftop, that Goss was against investigating the outing of a CIA agent (one of his "own"!!), against investigating the abuses at Abu Ghraib, against investigating the traitor freakshow Chalabi. What the hell is so hard about that?

I have to hope that Democrats have the integrity to not confirm Goss. If he is confirmed, I have to hope that Kerry has the integrity to fire his ass on the first day, then look deep and long to see what damage this creature caused in his short time behind the scenes.

ARGH! There are so many reasons to hate Bush and his monster minions. Near the top is making me, even for a second in time, feel SORRY for the CIA! F*cking hell!
