Not to mention "we the people".
Unfortunately most are protected by civil service as they are career employees.
Bush is paying a high price in not completly purging the CIA and Defense of Clinton rump swabs..

You bet. W should've cleaned house upon arrival. His first mistake was not taking his enemies seriously.
He was told by plenty of people including me. He's a hardhead.
You can't purge permanent civil service employees. You can only purge political appointees.
Or the Justice Department.. Clinton cleaned house there on his inaugeration and installed shills pretty quickly.. Bush either didnt know that or care.. or worse was a "Unite'er not a Divide'er".. which carrys to the whole Excutive Branch.. i.e. Sandy Berger getting off SCOTT FREE..
The CIA, like State, is institutionally liberal. I don't know how State got that way, but in the case of the CIA, it goes back to WW-II, and the sorts of folks, (Ivy League types) who were recruited for OSS which (kinda sorta) became the CIA.
Until you learn the difference between these two types of federal employees, please refrain from posting attacks on the President because he didn't do a blanket firing.
I had to check your profile. Rump Swabs, as any Bay Stater knows, is a phrase one picks up by listening regularly to Howie Carr...
No point. Just an observation.
