The Bush Administration

Reading about the Bush administration is just scary. Each person seems so corrupt and biased in the positions that they have. Dick Cheney, for example, has one of the most conservative voting records of all 435 members of Congress. he voted against the Equal Rights Amendment, against funding the Head Start program, against a House resolution calling for the release of Nelson Mandela, and against federal funding for abortions even in the case of rape. He's this super-conservative guy who does not seem like the greatest pick for a country that was pretty clearly divided in half in terms of Democrats and Republicans. Attorney General John Ashcroft, the man in charge of our justice system, opposes abortions in the case of rape, is against protecting gays from job discrimination, voted to limit death penalty appeals process (and oversaw 7 exectusions as governor), and announced that within twenty four hours of a purchase and background check for a gun, all background files on people are to be destroyed with NO record of who has a gun or what kind of gun they have. It just seems like a bunch of completely corrupt, selfish, people who were completely unfit for power.... were put in power. At least the way Moore puts it, it sounds like a nightmare
