Why Do Republicans Hate America?

The FBI raiding the private offices and homes of two Congressman under investigation being connected to the Jack Abramoff scandal. Geesh. Alberto Gonzalez showing either contempt or ineptitude today in his appearance before the Senate Judiciary Committee. While the Democrats have waited quite a while for this, when members of your own political party attack you for your actions and their damage on national politics, things are not good, Al. I showed up late to work this morning so I could hear Diane Feinstein's grilling of Gonzalez and thought, that while a bit harsh, her questioning sought to get to the heart of the matter. When over thirty "I don't recall" responses were given, I thought that I was back in the summer of 1987 watching the Iran-Contra investigation. Does any of this make the Democratic Party better than the GOP? No; however, politics is about playing offense when one can and accepting being in the minority when one has to. What all of this simply looks like is another Bushie plan to circle the wagons. When Karl Rove is connected, when RNC computers are used against law and guidelines by White House officials, when memoranda amazingly gets "lost", when people misspeak, when evidence contradicts statements, you have a scandal. What this also shows is just how much people, both Democrats and a growing number of Republicans, are sick and tired of the Bush regime and its unimaginable destruction it has unleashed on the nation. Tax cuts and debt, energy policy written by oil companies, lack of action against al Qaeda, the deliberate connection of 9/11 and Saddam Hussein, the manipulation or cherry-picking of intelligence to fabricate reasons for a war, the poor execution of such war and the deaths of hundreds of thousands of innocent people, a failing invasion of Afghanistan, politics over policy carried out by Karl Rove, and the collapse of political dialogue among those with differing political beliefs. If this is not enough to assign a failing grade to an incomplete administration, I will hate to see what will.
