WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The White House accused congressional Democrats on Friday of waging a crusade to bring down U.S. Attorney General Alberto Gonzales after lawmakers sought a perjury probe against him.

The criticism came a day after testimony by FBI Director Robert Mueller raised questions about Gonzales' credibility under questioning by Democratic lawmakers.

Mueller told a congressional hearing he had serious reservations about a warrantless domestic spying program that Gonzales testified drew little disagreement within the administration.

Ratcheting up the bitter rhetoric between the administration and the Democratic-controlled Congress, White House spokeswoman Dana Perino said Senate Democrats were determined to get Gonzales.

"They have deliberately had this crusade against him to try to destroy the attorney general," Perino told reporters.

Democratic Sen. Charles Schumer of New York brushed off charges his party was trying to destroy Gonzales. "For sure, he has already destroyed himself," Schumer said in a statement.

The man's a liar and shouldn't be in office. Nuff said.

Right on,Schumer!! :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

:rofl:

Meanwhile, in the real world, concerted efforts to bring lawbreakers to justice are generally considered good things.

What, because Bush finds such an incompetent personally convenient for himself?

we don't need no stinkin' "crusades".

with the phrase "attempt to preserve the Constitution" and it would be an accurate statement.

I wonder sometimes if she realizes that when she's talking to the press she's not posting on FR or some other nutcase website.

does that mean the President?

We should do something valuable, like crucifying a man who gets his dick sucked by a consenting adult!

there's no need to be on a "crusade" against him. :)

Only the most partisan of people will take this at face value and not ask that question.

What this attempt really shows to me is that they're terrified of losing some of their base over all this. Not just their fringe, but old school Republicans whose votes they always knew they could depend on.

Well, when all is said and done they'll still have that 30 or so percent that don't bother to think or question still supporting them.

so much spin, so little equilibrium...

Somebody let me off this carousel.

have nothing else to do but crusade against a proven liar hell bent on hanging on while destroying his own career in spite of literally everyone but Bu$h telling him he needs to resign.

and now we are on a crusade, make up your mind you fucking idiots.

'imself.

:shrug:

... the AG is on a crusade to destroy our Constitution. Yes, our Constitution is more important than that lying weasel little douchebag of a would-be man.
