Republicans misusing government fund for party purposes? Really? Who would have guessed.
According to the Washington Post, the Democratic Congress has set up an investigative committee to look into many more misconducts by the Republican party. The issue at hand is the violation of the Hatch Act that protects government employees from partition politics. The investigation took its initial attention on a report that the head General Services Administrator had asked during a presentation, regarding the 2008 election, how the GSA could be used to aid the Republican candidates.
It's about time that congress started to look into the questionable code of conduct behind the Bush administration. Every since President Bush has taken office, the government started to close one door after another to the public. What is stated on the news isn't what was happening behind closed doors. The government had taken a step back and decided to become hidden and remain unaccountable. By now, I hope people have seen the errors behind the Bush administration's secretiveness and voice their opinion in the '08 election. How can we sustain democracy if our elected government actively seek to hide their intentions from the public?Bloch's office initially focused on evidence developed by the General Services Administration's inspector general that a Rove aide, J. Scott Jennings, gave a presentation in January on the 2008 election to a few dozen senior political appointees at that agency. The session included lists of the top 20 Democratic "House Targets," or seats that Republicans want to recapture, as well as 36 House Republicans on priority lists for reelection.
After Jennings finished speaking, according to statements by a half dozen witnesses, GSA Administrator Lurita Alexis Doan asked her colleagues how they could use GSA projects to help the Republican candidates -- a request that several have said made them uncomfortable. Jennings replied, in front of the group, that the topic should be discussed "offline," according to the witnesses.

well you can't stop crime all together you can only minimize it cause there will always be crime everywhere no matter what we do. plus if its government related they usually use the tax payers money the wrong way, we should put most of our tax dollars into international problems instead of worldwide problems. plus I'm sure the democratic side would probably do the same thing as the republicans...but they wouldn't get caught doing it.
