[concerned about politics]

Every institution that we depend upon to keep the government running in a semi-sane manner has been destroyed by these people.

Sorry, but these people work for Bush, and this happened under his leadership. Trying to push the blame on someone else this time does not work. Maybe Bush should have replaced the people who worked there, but he didn't. He chose, as the president, to leave them there. They are his employees.
It's no one elses fault this time. Bush should take the rap for this.
I'm tough, but I'm fair. Will everything bad continue to be someone elses fault until 2004? And the next 4 years(?) , too?
Wake up and smell the coffee.

I'm just a dumb kinda guy, but last I heard, firing a FEDERAL employee is one of the most difficult, if not impossible things to accomplish.

Correct me if you have documentable info to the contrary.

There are LAWS that prevent these people from being fired. They become permanent employees rather than political appointees.

While we are busy blaming this President, they are enjoying our hysterics at their misrepresentations in the media. We are the media's usefull idiots, always to be counted upon to attack the President at their merest suggestion.
