Worse Than the Nixon Years?

Does anyone else think that the Bush administration is actually going down in history as being worse than the Nixon administration? Bush may have created the most corrupt White House ever. It is hard to believe.

The Bush administration has seen so many revelations and scandals, and so few resignations.

González said that his statements were less than precise, but that "he has nothing to hide".

And let's not forget the GOP "puppet master", Karl Rove. The 18 1/2 minute gap in the Nixon White House tapes is easily outdone by the reported four years of missing Rove emails.

But the recent scandal to hit the "Bush cronie, neo-con" leader on the World Bank is unreal! Iraq War architect Paul Wolfowitz is in hot water for paying his girlfriend more than she was worth...more than anyone was worth. But he too "refuses to quit." Click here for a more recent update to this story. He says he's staying at the World Bank because there is so much important work to do. Hmmm, I imagine that means finding other ways to get the World Bank's money into their grubby mitts.
These people do not think that the law applies to them. They also do not care what the public thinks. No scruples.
I recommend you do some research on President Bush's grandfather Prescott Bush (seen below in the photo with Richard Nixon).

2008 Presidential Primary Heats Up

FOX reports today that Sen. Obama has raised almost as much campaign funding as Sen. Clinton so far. Obama with $25 million and Clinton with record $26 million. They also claim that the top 3 Democrats have raised more than the top three Republicans. Donna Brazile's Commentary in the Washington Post also writes about these fund raising results. I'm not sure about that figure, but I read that Mit Romney had raised $23 million. read the article here. This article also has interesting poll results for all the candidates.



I feel it is important that the Democratic Party maintain a sense of unity in the coming months. The democrats have good candidates and they must not risk in-fighting or a split in the party.



Even considering the Hillary 1984 Apple commercial scandal, the democrats are doing better than the Republican Party candidates at having a common platform. Guiliani, Romney, Thompson and McCain could not be more different ideologically. Sen. McCain has written a very good article in The Washington Post about his recent trip to Iraq today. It is a good read. Check it out here.

FOX is also reporting that Guiliani and McCain are leading the polls in South Carolina for the Republican party.
Here is an incredible collection of Poll data on Real Clear Politics.


Meanwhile, Rudy may face unpleasant questions regarding the September 11th attacks from many people in New York. See this article on how "Critics want to mar his hero image and hobble his candidacy by questioning his moves."

Folks, this Primary season is bound to get interesting.
