Another Republican Tells Gonzales To Get Lost

Senator John Sununu (R-New Hampshire) became the first Republican in Congress to call for Gonzales to resign a few weeks ago. Now, a Republican in the House of Representatives is calling for Gonzales to resign.

It's not a liberal Republican and/or one in a swing district. It's a Republican from a very Republican state.

Rep. Lee Terry (R-Nebraska), who represents Omaha, admitted he once had faith in Gonzales, but does not have any faith in him anymore. Terry said he thought the whole scandal was a Democratic witch hunt, but that he's lost faith in the Attorney General because of his contradictory statements.

Terry's district isn't very competitive, but it could be. He defeated Democrat Jim Esch, who lagged him in fundraising 55%-45% last year. His district was the last in Nebraska to be represented by a Democrat, Peter Hoagland from 1989-1995.

Not to mention, his district is in Omaha, so the Democrats do have a bench to run against Terry.

Still, Terry's comments do give some credit to the Democrats' arguments that the Administration is hiding something.

If this was a Democratic witch hunt, well then, they actually found a witch.
