Supposed Democrat Supporters, now correct me if I am wrong, but did you not say that these prosecutors are supposed to be

"non-partisan and independent in every aspect from political parties"

If they were Democrat Supporters then how is that non partisan and independent of every aspect from political parties?

So now we are going back to how he abused the office, he fired attornies, who even by your own admission, were not doing what they were supposed to be doing by being partisan.

Pinko Commie Scum, is that a direct quote from the Republicans? Now what if I were to say that not only did these people act favorably toward Democrats, but half of them were laxed on Voter Fraud, do they deserve to be fired by not doing their job?

As for those replaced, so far all I can find is interm attornies, and no signs of attornies that have actually replaced them and gone through Congress. So can you show me these Prosecutors names that are "loyal Bushies" and how they got through Congressional approval?

Oh yes becuase Presidents keep all of the previous Presidents appointments. And now Bush was buddies with Enron? What next? Bush caused the WTC attacks? And if Pat Wood allowed Enron to do what ever they wanted then he didn't do that good of a job seeing how just two years into Bush's term Enron went under.

Now that the power is divided between Congress and , the Republicans can't fast-track bills through like they used to be able too. If there was a Democrat president, the Republican Congress wouldn't have gotten away with the shit it did in the first six years of Bush.
Ahh I see, that makes so much sense, seeing how you never mentioned Bush in the original one, and we were talking about things the Republican Congress has done versus how much the Democrat Congress has done. But anyway even with the six years, have you read every piece of paper? Every bill? Every treaty? I mean you are making a unbiased determination on these six years, so you must have right? I mean there have been so many horrible things they did even in their first term since Bush was elected!

Like the Help America Vote Act which got rid of punch card voting systems and set up a Election Assistance Commission. Yeah it is real evil of them for trying to fix the election system and keep another 2000 mishap happening again.

How about the Sudan Peace Act, which authorized money to try and help stop the Genocide in Sudan and condemed the Genocide.

The Bipartisan Campaign Reform Act of 2002, which refined election rules and both sides of the isle agreed to.

The Trade Act of 2002 which allowed Congress to have greater and faster power to amend and work on trade deals with other countries, so that trade agreements were streamlined.

Oh yes, very very evil, very very damning isn't it? Those nasty evil Republicans and their peace acts and their Election reform acts. Boooo
