With people still trying to signup for healthcare, many are wondering what went wrong. Well it turns out the problem isn't with the actual law, but with a system our government has used for ages.

The New York Times goes into detail of how Sarah Palin is exactly like George Bush. She doesn’t care about experience, but rather loyalty when it comes to hiring people. People who don’t agree with her aren’t simply disagreeing. They are foes who feel her wrath. It’s this style of government that got us into […]

That’s exactly what the GOP is planning to do. They are hoping everyone suffers a sudden case of amnesia over the deadly response to Katrina and this will make everything better. Of course we all know the real issue. George Bush allowed cronyism to take over inside the government and that poor judgment, a Republican […]

John McCain has refused to fully release his military record. The media must start pushing for this, like they did on Kerry in 2004. How many fighter jets did John McCain crash while in the Navy, and did his father’s standing help him continue flying? Sounds like a very expensive game of cronyism to me.

He won’t say: Rudy Giuliani refused to say if he’d consider pardoning his old friend Bernie Kerik – who was indicted Thursday on federal corruption charges – if elected President. “It wouldn’t be fair to ask that question at this point,” the Republican presidential hopeful said in an exclusive interview in Dubuque, Iowa, just hours […]

Because cronyism and profits always trumps life and pure ethics: The private security firm Blackwater USA, which has faced mounting criticism following an incident earlier this month in which armed guards from the group purportedly killed 11 unarmed Iraqi civilians, has numerous links to the White House as well as many current and former Republicans. […]

When a company continues to fail miserably the answer is not to fire all the employees, but rather the CEO. If a team goes on a multi-season losing streak, the players aren’t all replaced, but rather the coach. So why doesn’t the same apply to the White House? In the past we have seen great […]

Is the President an idiot? That was the question that caused a bunch of heat when Joe Scarborough asked it a couple of months ago. Well consider Bush’s latest signing statement and then do the math: President Bush this week asserted that he has the executive authority to disobey a new law in which Congress […]

Bush does have one thing he can consider successful in his Presidency and might lead to his legacy. That is his utmost devotion to cronyism and the adverse effect it has on our government services. We saw that a year ago with FEMA and today we get even more proof with this report by the […]
