[The Backlash Cometh]

I am the daughter of a civil servant, I have done nothing but promote civil servants as a solution to our current political corruption problem. In fact, when this whole Republican strategy of destroying government began, they first came for the civil servants. And I have also said, time and time again, that these corrupt new breed of politicos have systemically removed the boy scouts from the system.

So, going back to my post, I restate: none of what we're uncovering about the Bush Administration's method of operation surprises me. Why? Because all politics are local. You follow the Texas Mafia (as someone else coined them) back to their stomping ground and see what they were doing in Texas and how they were doing it, and you will understand why they had the brass balls to apply that shit on a national level.

You can say that about any corrupt network. Follow it back to their local beginnings. They are getting away with the same things all over this nation, in a fiefdom sort of way.
