Are they stupid or just don't care about truth?

The Democrats are trying to gin up opposition to Alberto Gonzales on the basis of his legal memo on the treatment of terrorist captives. This is idiocy. When you render a legal opinion, you're not representing your own personal beliefs about what is right and wrong; you're supposed to be telling someone what the law is, based on a review of common law and statutory interpretation. So if you would favor having an Attorney General who spins his research, by all means support the Dems on this.

I don't know much about Gonzales, except that he's Hispanic and an overachiever. He's definitely proven his ability and I see no reason not to confirm him. The Democrats are losing ground with Hispanic voters and their handling of this will just accelerate the process. Of course, they depend on keeping their constituencies dumb and poor so that they'll think that they need government programs to survive. Republicans prefer to honor real accomplishment and encourage achievement because that's how people really overcome disadvantages, not by depending on patronizing politicians.
