[...I will agree with this article if those prosecutors being dumped
are actually replaced with persons of character and ability, not just
hacks from the opposition. There is little enough trust in the
judicial system now, having a hack like Gonzalez replaced by another
hack from the Dems is not going to help.]
By Dave Johnson
In 2006 people voted against Republicans, not for Democrats. Never
forget this.
The 2006 election taught Republicans that people vote against
headlines about corruption and war. Republicans were being
investigated and indicted for corruption so people voted against them.
So they are taking steps to change the playing field for 2008. This is
what the Justice Department scandal is about. The prosecutors who did
"play ball" -- drop investigations into Republican corruption and
investigate "administration priorities" -- were allowed to stay and
the ones who did their jobs were fired.
If the Republicans have their way with this -- and that means if ANY
of the 93 current prosecutors stay in that job -- the public will be
reading about dozens and dozens of Democrats being investigated and
indicted for corruption even though they are completely innocent,
while corrupt Republicans will be given a free ride to continue to
raid the Treasury (while of course giving a "finders fee" to The
Party.) And if this is what is happening in 2008 the public will vote
against Democrats. It's as simple as that.
The only way to stop this is to replace all 93 Bush prosecutors with
honest people, and clean out the entire Justice Department.
Meanwhile, the supporting infrastructure that surrounds the Democratic
Party -- unfunded blogs and poorly-funded progressive organizations
and very few poorly-funded think tanks -- is still failing to reach
out to the general public with reasons to vote for Democrats.
