Seven years of Bush/Cheney appointments have made government oversight obsolete. Agency heads and many of their deputies formerly worked for the industries they supposedly regulate. There is zero government monitoring of the safety of anything we eat, drink, breath, drive, fly, buy for kids, medicate ourselves with, or depend upon for our well being – including our financial health.
And it’s not just agency heads. Young fundy grads from places like Pat Robertson’s Liberty U. are in critical positions in many federal departments.
And let’s not forget the countless judges and prosecutors who have been appointed by Bush over the last seven years. In too many instances, “justice” is being administered by the American Taliban.
So if we end up with the White House and stronger control of congress, what’s to be done about the intentional poisoning of our government? Bush has left us quite a mess that was easier to create than to clean up.
I guess my question is, what would we expect from the Dems? Mass firings? Impeachments of federal judges? A full-scale purge of wingnuts from the halls of government? It’s possible that all of this might seem a bit radical to “middle America.”
I’d like to hear your thoughts on the problem.
On edit: I forgot to mention how the corporate MSM would view a thorough "house cleaning." It's possible the term "Stalinist purge" would become fashionable.
