It is my sincere belief that next month's elections should be about the pitiful performance by the current Republican-led government on Iraq and the war on terror; and their pillage of the national treasury. But most importantly, when voters head to the polls, I want them to cast a vote against the raw abuse of power by this Republican majority and their president.
At the congressional level that is what the Mark Foley scandal is really about.
And then there is the President. He has taken abuse to a whole new level, committing impeachable offenses left and right.
Yesterday, when signing the Homeland Security funding bill - a bill that specifically stated "no one but the privacy officer could alter, delay or prohibit the Homeland Security department activities that affect privacy" - George attached a "signing statement" that says he will interpret that section "in a manner consistent with the President's constitutional authority to supervise the unitary executive branch." (Mr. President, define "unitary" for us right now.)
The spoiled boy-coward needs to be stopped. If voters keep Republican majorities in Congress this November, there's no telling what this president will do in has last two years. (Emergency cancellation of the 2008 presidential election, anyone?)
