What does it mean if Republican Senator Chuck Hagel is using the word "impeachment" when it comes to President Bush?
What it means Jack, is that Hagel is distancing himself from the Republican party, will become an Independent in the fall and run for president, will win the election, nabbing voters dissatisfied with their own party's nominee, and many Republicans and moderate Democrats against the war. I think Hagel just realized all this potential while standing at the podium on the day of his non-announcement. -Jim, Meriden, Connecticut

Me thinks it means that Chuck has a spine, and he needs some momentum for his campaign. -Barbara, Davisburg, Michigan

It means that I am a Democrat that might vote for Hagel, a Republican, for president. -Mark, Austin, Texas

Jack, It means Hagel will soon be asked to join the vice president on a hunting trip. -John, Jacksonville, Florida

Alberto Gonzales is scheduled to testify before Congress April 17. Will he last that long as Attorney General?
No, I don't think he will, because he is involved in this up to his eyeballs. He has no credibility left and it is time for him to fall on his sword. Reading some of the e-mail and hearing him contradict himself in statements that he made. He doesn't stand a chance of keeping his position. –Bill, Quarryville, Pennsylvania

Are you kidding, Jack? This administration and this Congress are so delusional that they will probably promote Gonzales to some higher-paying position and give him the presidential medal. I have never witnessed such idiocy in my life! -Alan, Buxton, Maine

Alberto knows where all the bodies are buried, but just like Brownie, Rummy and Harriet Miers, George Bush will hand him his hat and guarantee him another high-paying job for keeping his mouth shut. This administration has used 9/11 to give itself enough power to justify anything they want to do. -Gary, New York

Sure hope not! The Attorney General has been extremely partisan and is NOT representing the American people as he should. -Craig, Melbourne, Florida

Why does a U.S. Senator need to carry a loaded gun?
Jim Webb needs a loaded gun to protect himself against all the bitter partisan politics going on in Washington. It’s a shame isn’t it? –Chris, Safford, Arizona

Why does a U.S. senator need to carry a loaded gun? The question itself should be the issue. Why does any American citizen need to justify his constitutional right to bear arms? Next you'll be asking why someone feels the need to peaceably assemble or freely speak his mind. Please, Jack. –Frank, New York

Jack. Are you kidding? If I were a U.S. Senator, I'd be armed as well as wearing body armor to protect me from the knives that they're sticking in each other's backs. –Dorothy, Gibsonia, Pennsylvania

Considering how much corporate money our politicians are carrying around with them, perhaps he feels the need to protect himself from would-be robbers. –Alex, Alexandria, Virginia
