Thanks, MissM.
I sincerely didn't know that; so, I learned something.
Which to your credit, isn't bad. ;^)
*Not* an easy thing to do, y'know.
"This list of bonuses is probably the first step in building a case, but it is going to take years to get rid of the Clinton lackies that were switched to Civil Service jobs as yet another landmine for the President."
Yea.
Of course, you're correct.
Again.
I'm just so damned frustrated because you know what?
The Clintigulan mosaic is beginning to form.
With that image, an undersatnding & insight may be gained of not what he did.
We've all witness, and suffered that part.
But for me?
I finally at long last actually see an important facet of how the theif managed to pull off some of the more subtle aspects of the, "Machine."
...& see, without the use of a tinfoil hat, mind you.
All of that "hard work for the American people" was simply a way to figure out how to entrench his people in the fabric of government, allowing him to control things from afar if Gore was elected, and to cause infinite trouble if Bush won. We can see what he has done, and it is frustrating, to say the least.
These employees are in every department, including Defense. Thanksfully, Rumsfeld has put them on notice that he will look at Pentagon leaks as a federal crime. (You can't do the same thing in EPA or HHS, unfortunately).
Getting Homeland Defense under Tom Ridge was very smart, as it allows him to select members of "task forces" which will operate separately, and the Clintonistas will be shut out. Same thing that O'Neill has done with the raids on terrorist front organizations. You will note that there wasn't a clue about those raids until they took place. Those task forces under O'Neill have been pulled from several organizations, and they operate under tight security.
The Bush people are extrmely smart, and I have confidence that they can work around these people. (Ashcroft's reorganization of Justice is another example of this strategy. I am sure the most rabid Clinton devotees are now investigating cattle rustling in South Dakota or something.)
It takes a great deal of patience and a mind that is pretty good with "strategery", but I do think our guy is up to it.
The other thing we need to work on is defeating the leftist press. I have concluded that tackling them rationally is not going to work. Instead, I would suggest that they be mocked as nerds and dweebs, making them "un-cool." This is not hard to do (look at that crew at the Pentagon press briefing, for example) and given the general public's fascination with all things fashionable, it should be a piece of cake.
