You see, that's the point of privatizing everything in the GOP. Doing so, allows them to extort whatever taxpayer monies for their political/business cause, and they don't even have to account for any of it. They can act however corrupt they wish while refusing to grant any citizen access to any public documents that hold them accountable. That's the beauty of a war in which never conveniently ends. You cheat, steal, and hide documents for supposed war confidentiality. Private investigations don't do anything if you're not allowed access to supposed intelligence documents. This John Bolton thing is a sample of what's been made common.

It's a legitimate responsible thing to question Bolton's record. He's being brought in as international rep. The last thing America needs is another isolationist bigot xenophobe.

Also, Bush reverting to name calling is typical. Instead of addressing the issue of why Democrats aren't allowed access to Bolton's records, Bush reverts back to vitriol responsibility deflection. What an asshole.

Will you believe these fuckers are complaining about "stalling" while they have control over every god damn branch of the government?

The argument is that the Democrats are going to continue to ask for additional documentation, alleging that what they've recieved is never enough, and then say that they are just trying to exercise due dilligence. The contents of those intelligence documents have nothing to do with having sufficient information to make an informed decision regarding a nominee.

In addition, the Executive should always have the right to refuse to provide to the Legislative branch documents relating to its internal decision making process. This is a principle that's been in place since George Washington.

weak tit stuffs fritz. there is a very narrow band of white house communication that can be exempted from the legislature, and this isn't in that band. I don't mind them (the white house) arguing that documentation isn't pertinent, it's probably not, but i do think executive privilege abuse isn't the right way to go here, they need to save that for shady dealings with fat cats.

Slapnose Merchandise! At last!
