Whose government is it?
“They can try to have their votes of no confidence, but it’s not going to determine — make the determination who serves in my government,” Mr. Bush said, adding, “This process has been drug out a long time, which says to me it’s political.” George W. Bush from a NY Times Article.
This is disturbing, he refers to it as serving in his government. It is not his government last time I checked, by the definition it is a government by the people for the people. While this may not completely be the case, it is the intention of our government. Not for some power hungry lunatic in the White House to declare it his government. Lord help us should there be another "catastrophic emergency" which would allow George to invoke Homeland Security Presidential Directive/HSPD-20 which would bestow upon the president the authority to personally take control of the entire federal government including the judicial and legislative branches for the purpose of “ensuring constitutional government". Sounds to me like a means to an end for an essential take over of the US Government. I for one believe that if there was ever a person in the White House crazy enough to declare himself the sole government and ruler of all people and to eliminate another election it would be young George. This is what democracy has brought us, dont you think we could do a lot better?
“It’s an interesting comment about Congress, isn’t it, that, on the one hand, they say that a good general shouldn’t be reconfirmed, and on the other hand, they say that my Attorney General shouldn’t stay,” he said today. “And I find it interesting. I guess it reflects the political atmosphere of Washington.”
Also from the same article. The fact is that the general not being renewed has overseen the debacle and clusterfuck that is US involvment in Iraq. We are mired in a stagnat pit of violence which no reasonable man would try to say shows any signs of improvement, that is why he is not being renewed, not politics. The attorney general also didnt receive a ringing vote of support, they did receive a majority, but not the 60 votes necessary(That raises the question to me that if it is a democratic vote, then how come 51 votes isnt all they need, thats democracy.). Gonzalez has acted in a manner unbefitting a man in charge of the highest law in the land and has treated it as a partisan play thing. He is yet another whore for President Bush that says yes to any question asked no matter how he may violate the constitution and the rights of the people.
