Is the Bush Administration the most partisan Administration in US history?
Edited on Tue Apr-24-07 08:30 AM by ck4829
Sure, every President wants to have Congress be the same party as they are, but has this current Administration taken that to a new level by stooping down to dirty tricks, phone jamming, and firing US Attorneys?

1. There is a lot more than that, this administration began...
in attempt of complete secrecy, to the point where Bush I's and Reagan's papers were sealed; it has been down hill ever since.

one of the main reasons people do not trust these baboons in human suits, is that they are so revoltingly corrupt in their dealings. They have decided that only they know what is "good" for the American people, and they have been wrong on every count,

It is natural for people to pull away from such things, and there is the basis for the extremes in partisanship.

This administration will go down in history as the worst administration this nation has ever seen; the problem we have is to ensure people like this NEVER gain any power again.

3. Agree about worst admin ever--I doubt history will be kind, and
I hope I live to be an old lady to see what sort of "legacy" BushCo leaves behind.

2. This administration is but one whitehead atop a mighty field of festering carbuncle

The Cheney administration is the choice of the Anti-government Movement that grew exponentially in the 70's, and with the Reagan's regulatory reformists swiftly became a major case of permanently disfiguring acne on the face of America.

The infection that is overwhelming us is the result of thousands of smaller germ units that can be diagnosed as causative agents of "Unitary Executive," "Global hegemony," "Preventive War," "Spreading Democracy," "Stopping Voter Fraud," "the Long Global War on Terrorism," "Strategic Interests," "Free Trade," "Quality Data," "Competitiveness," "Welfare Reform," "Trickle Down," etc. etc.

The names seem new but these things didn't originate with the current Cheney administration. They were obvious threats to society as far back as the early 1900s.

How long has it been that business is the government's business?

What doubt is there that the sequestering of greater and greater wealth among the fewer and fewer is but the proof its advocates seek as evidence that free market capitalism "works?" It's a slam dunk.

4. I know of no other president who hired a political consultant and
put him on the tax payers rolls. Why do we tax payers foot the bill for KKKarl when his whole job is to keep the repukes in power?
