Remember 2004?

Dismissal of U.S. attorneys controversy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


Politicization of hiring at the Department of Justice

Attorney General Gonzales, in a confidential order dated March 1, 2006 not published in the Federal Register, formally delegated authority to senior DOJ staff Monica Goodling and Kyle Sampson to hire and dismiss political appointees and some civil service positions.[45][46] On May 2, 2007, the Department of Justice announced two separate investigations into hirings conducted by Goodling: one by the department's Inspector General, and a second by the Office of Professional Responsibility.[35] In testimony before the House Judiciary Committee, on May 23, 2007, Goodling stated that she had "crossed the line" and broke civil service laws regulating hiring for civil service positions, and had improperly weighed political factors in assessing applicants.[47]

I do.

There was this presidential election.

I really hated the president. He was an incompetent boob that had led our country to calamity. I wasn't alone. He was extremely unpopular with most Americans who viewed his policies as disastrous.

The the Democrats nominated an total dork to run against him.

I wasn't worried because the President was such a dipshit, I knew he was toast.

Then the total Dork's campaign platform consisted of "vote for me because the president sucks"! That's okay, I thought, tat will be enough to beat the loser incumbent.

The morning after the election, I (and many others) woke up shocked that the president had won. There many conspiracy theories, but the truth is that in America it is really hard to unseat an incumbent.

I am getting a kick out off the confidence of the right on this board. I suspect you are whistling past the graveyard.

This thread will serve as anal salve for your butthurt selves after the election.

I'm certainly not confident, it is hard to unseat an incumbent. I am hoping that Congress will remain with the repubs and a dream that the Senate goes to the right. At least the only thing Obama can do with his social policies is to invoke an executive order.

Romney MAKES money
Kerry marries it

Ryan can build a budget
Leiberman can bail on his party

:clap2:
 
The difference between 2004 and 2012 is "THE ECONOMY SUCKS".

Also, John "effin" Kerry, who by the way served in Vietnam, is an arrogant douche bag who's only accomplishments are marrying for money, hating America with a passion, saying "Jenn-Jiss Khan" like a condescending faggot, and throwing away another man's medals.
:thup:
