Description: http://www.crooksandliars.com/2007/03/14/cafferty-are-checks-and-balances-making-a-comeback/ By: SilentPatriot on Wednesday, March 14th, 2007 at 7:03 PM - PDT With all these scandals piling up (Walter Reed, prosecutor purge, Libby conviction, FBI's NSLs abuses, etc.) Jack wonders if the antiquated notion of "checks and balances" (remember that?!) is making a comeback. "What you have here is a White House that has become an accountability free zone that is now facing the reality of checks and balances from Congress. For six years President Bush got pretty much whatever he wanted from a Republican-controlled rubber stamp Congress that refused to exercise any oversight of the Executive branch of government. Well, mercifully, that party appears to be over." I've said it before and I'll say it again: The Democratic Congressional takeover was the best thing that could have happened to this country. The rubber-stamp GOP'ers would have buried every single one of these scandals and taken the administration at their word. At least we now have committe chairmen committed to the rule of law and exposing the truth. |

| Urgelt ::: Favorites 2007-03-15 11:45:02 The Democrats have a long way to go to convince me of their sincerity and honesty. Pork rules Capital Hill as much as it corrupts the White House. But at least there is an adversarial contentiousness emerging, and that offers a chance to spotlight some of the worst abuses of power this Administration has committed. After a long drought of accountability, it's a positive trend. __________________________________________________ | |
| j0eg0d ::: Favorites 2007-03-15 04:21:15 Why pretend this balancing act of democratic republican checks & balances ? The "truth" is that influencial members of both political parties are generating wealth for themselves. Did he mention that Congress okayed the millions Bush wanted for Iraq ? Did they mention that the deal also allowed Democrats to recieve their own share to buy up votes in the Great Plains ? Why propagate the competition (?) when the facts demand we need to rid the US of bipartisanship. __________________________________________________ | |

| dafttool ::: Favorites 2007-03-15 01:32:15 Bush demands loyalty from his minions, but shows none to his own. Gonzales' days are numbered. He's become a liability. Bush's 9/11 free ride is over. After years of being only accountable to God [more his words than mine], his idolating congress convincing him that he was clothed in greatness, he's going to finally learn that with great power comes great responsibility. May the opposing party pursue him as relentlessly as the GOP did Clinton...all the way to impeachment. __________________________________________________ | |
