Letter: GOP has too much control
Friday, Nov. 28, 2003 | 3:57 a.m.
WEEKEND EDITION Nov. 29 - 30, 2003
Most Americans have yet to awaken to the fact that the entire federal government is controlled by the Republican party, including the executive, legislative and judicial branches.
This is why we do not hear any more about the Enron and Kenny Lay investigation. Or the White House illegal leak to columnist Robert Novak uncovering an active CIA operative who is the wife of Ambassador Joseph Wilson. Or the stonewalling over the White House documents about 9-11. What is Bush hiding?
And how about the outcry by the hypocrites in the GOP-controlled Senate, who are crying that the Democrats have turned down four of Bush's judicial nominations out of the 172 submitted for a 98 percent approval rate so far by the Democrats. Republicans have selective memories, of course, because Sen. Orrin Hatch, R-Utah, was instrumental in blocking 63 of Clinton's nominees, several of whom were minorities.
Finally, Bush and his neocons are responsible for the deaths of 428 of our troops in Iraq and 2,050 wounded in a war based upon deceitful and misleading causes.
Americans are best advised to wake up and recognize that our country is the hands of one party, and that is dangerous.
