New DNC Report: A Government For The Party, Not The People
New DNC Report: A Government For The Party, Not The People

Washington, DC - Today, the Democratic National Committee released a
new report entitled, “A Government For The Party, Not The People,”
which chronicles six years of the Bush Administration putting politics
ahead of good government. The recent scandal surrounding the
politically-motivated firing of eight US Attorneys is just one example
of the practice that began many years ago.

Like the much publicized “K Street Project,” whereby the former GOP
majority in Congress strong-armed lobbying firms into hiring Republican
operatives or be faced with political retribution, a pattern is emerging
where the Bush Administration has used our government for their own
partisan, narrow political ideology that is out of step with America. As
part of this system they reward “loyal Bushies” with jobs and
contracts, and ignore the facts that don't fit their narrow ideology and
punish critics.

To read the entire report, go to:

3. So true
K Street means money for GOPer only
Attorney purge means government power for GOPers only

Wish the story could get out there in front of everyman's eyes.
