Thank goodness!

Of course, corruption runs rampant in politics at various times in our history, more than not, I suppose. However, this gang is particularly vicious, and I’m sure by cutting off this particular snake’s head, the rest of the Republican Party hopes to distance itself from censure. While we watch the headless snake writhe on the floor of the house during the next couple of weeks, let’s not forget the investigation into Jack Abramoff’s ties to other members of congress and to Mr. Bush continues.

Then there is Mr. Bush’s use of the NSA to illegally wiretap American citizens. Of course the Republican dominated Senate voted down Senator Feingold’s call for censure over the issue, though it is the worst abuse of presidential power since Watergate. We must remember that all three branches of our government are now totally dominated by that well-oiled and greased Republican machine.

I can’t imagine why the middle class has yet to recognize that it is being totally boondoggled by this administration and government.
