The fact is that eighty or ninety percent of all government business - and all government power - lies in the hands of faceless and unelected bureaurcrats and petty commissars, an enormous number of whom are anal retentive control freaks who love nothing better than to tell others what to do and how to do it. Democrats and Republicans come and go, but bureaucrats go on forever.
Because the differences between pubbies and rats has been a mere matter of perception, and the line of demarcation is becoming less and less noticeable.
Because the beltway bureaucracies and the career bureaucrats that inhabit them don't change when the administration changes. They are a natural constituency of the Democratic Party, and IMHO, one of their most powerful assets. Armed with the New Deal "substantial effects" commerce clause they can extend the reach of the federal government to encompass every aspect of our lives and circumvent even the most explicitly protected rights.
Republican or Democrat ... the objective is to disarm the People. It is part of the NWO globalization. Eventually you will understand that the US faces extinction quite by purpose.
“Can someone please explain to me why this sort of thing is going on under a Republican administration?????????”
Oh! That Republican administration.........I’m sorry but that administration ended when Regan left office. You are now dealing with the Bush dynasty.
Because we don’t have a Republican administration, we have a RINO administration.
Clinton's cronies in the Federal Govt were never fired.
