The editors over at NRO are calling for the resignation of Attorney General Alberto Gozales.

What little credibility Gonzales had is gone. All that now keeps him in office, save the friendship of the president, is the conviction of many Republicans that removing him would embolden the Democrats. It is an overblown fear.

It is not an overblown fear. Every small victory emboldens the Left to go after anyone and everyone. They do it because we let them. We give them victory after victory on this kind of nonsense. Our virtue is used against us and I am tired of it. I am tired of cutting our losses. Our Republican leaders fail to defend themselves and other Republicans because they are frightened by what the media will say about them.

The time has come for a bold conservative statesman to emerge from the right. I am almost convinced that it won’t happen anytime soon. The Republican Party must first hit rock bottom before change will occur, and the way of the moderate and the RINO will be set aside. Unfortunately, we are not there yet.

I am going to say it. Republicans and conservatives will be better off in the long run when the Democrats win back the White House next year. Nothing will galvanize the base and party more leading to a victory for conservatives in the 2010 mid-term election.
