With all due respect to Speaker Newt Gingrich (who I happen to like and appreciate), I must disagree with his latest remarks.  It seems that Newt has called for the resigination of the Attorney General.  He joins a chorus of Democrats (led by Majority-leader wannabe, Chuckie Schumer, liberal from NY) in calling for his head.  Of course Newt makes a good case that the whole matter of firing several US attorneys has led and will continue to lead to "distractions" for the Administration. 
   Distractions, smactions!  Since when should a leader - be he the AG or the POTUS - quit becasue of "distractions"?  Forgive if I am wrong, but I thought the President and the Attorney General could hire and fire any US attorney they wanted to?  Isn't the AG the head of the US Justice Department?
   Everyday I get further and further disgusted with the state of affairs in Washington DC.  It is SO political, that it is sickening and deadly (just ask the troops who are about to get their needed funds cut becasue of politics). 
   When will the leader, the statesman, arise who will unite this country?  Is it even possible?  Will the two-party system even allow it to happen if it could?
   As stated, I like Newt, I would seriously consider voting for him for POTUS -- he has ideas and that is good; he is a thinker.  At the same time, I cannot allow myself to forget that he is also a savvy politician -- and perhaps not the statesman that I'm looking for.
