Reply #2: Republican incompetence in a nutshell...

[progdonkey]

At the end of the day, these people seem to be control freaks who don't really listen to the people who actually do the work. They seem to be a bunch of petty children squabbling over who will control the most resources in the organization chart.

That is probably the most perfect expression of the Republican mindset I've read. Republicans bitch about "bureaucratic red tape" getting in the way of "efficiency," but it really just comes down to being control freaks. Whether they are in a private or government office, they don't want anyone else to tell them they can't or must do something. "I'm in charge of this office/company and I'll decide when I'm good and ready what is going to be done, and I'm not going to let anyone else tell me that what I'm doing is incorrect or unethical."

It's really little more than incompetence-cum-ideology.
