Bush DOJ Has Orders to Sic Dems
Not only has the Bush administration been purging out-of-favor U.S. attorneys across the nation, it has also been using its DOJ to investigate Democrats far more frequently than Republicans, according to TPMmuckraker. From 2001 to 2006, when Democrats made up just half of all elected officials (local and national) in the country, 79 percent of the DOJ's investigations targeted Dems. The data comes from a study by two retired professors, Dr. Donald C. Shields of University of Missouri-St. Louis and Dr. John F. Cragan of Illinois State University. "The chance of such a heavy Democratic-Republican imbalance occurring at random is 1 in 10,000," reported the study's authors.

Excellent comment bob t!As for the right wing, it's not just in the Repub party, the Dems have their fair share in that party as well, thats why we don't see a lot of difference in them. The Catholic church in Rome has backed all wars since the 40s. Have you not noticed that the church hangs onto the feudatory structure from the ancient past? Maybe it's time that the Catholic Church in America followed the example of the British and break away from Rome, like the Church of England, maybe, but then I guess we already have one of those. We the People really do need to reel these people in. Good luck and try to have a good day!

Movable Type 3.33
I don't doubt that in the least. Bush, Gonzales, Cheney and Rove are totally corrupt and mentally disturbed because they think this is acceptable behavior. They are corrupting america and american politics, and there is no way to tell if our beloved america will ever recover or even deserves to for allowing them to perpetrate their dimentia on the 60-70% of us who don't deserve what is happening. The radical right wing Big Religions deserve this but the rest of us are being used, misued and abused. And we don't yet know how much more they are doing and may never know. Maybe america is coming to an end as we spend ourselves into insolvency via military spending just to make the corporations and the wealty even richer, while the taxpayers pay the bill with our tax dollars.
If corporations, neocons and the big religions(catholics, my religion) let them pay for their killing machine and endless oil wars for greed, profit and political power. The pope has billions and if he thinks it's alright to kill muslims let him pay for his repub wars. Four bad popes, two supported Hitler and the Nazi Party and now two are supporting the current iteration of the Nazi killing machine called the republican party. I may be a catholic but I'm not the popes kind of catholic.
