White House and GOP officials on DC escort list

DC Escort list

The scandal of Tobias and the DC madam will expand to more GOP public officials. I read about this political rumor before it went main stream and thought “oh boy, here we go again.” So many scandals in Washington these days, that its impossible to keep up. Iraq is a mess, it is in dire need of our politician’s attention, but there is no way they can do their job properly with all of the distractions.

A nation divided

Even if they wanted to do their jobs, the partisan-only trends, e.g. “veto” anything that doesn’t agree with my politics, stubborn Washington officials that refuse to compromise on anything that might evidence a hint of weakness or submission. How can anyone do their job with the the Katrina fiasco, Halliburton scandal, high profile D.C. prostitution ring charges, Alberto Gonzales corruption and potentially illegal U.S. attorney firings, allegations of Karl Rove’s involvement in Valerie Plame’s CIA leak scandal and the deleted emails “accident” that is hanging a dark cloud over the White House! I’ve mentioned the larger scandals that have recently been under the microscope, but there is much more. There are so many scandals, in fact, that the overall effect of the numerous scandals has been desensitizing to the American public and it makes such government activity seem less scandalous than it is!

White House, President, Washington officials, is there a solution?

If you take any of the above-listed allegations on their own merits, and scrutinize the role of the White House, President, Washington public officials, and other high profile Americans, you might have enough evidence to bring down the country and possibly push it into an economic recession. What is the answer to America’s woes? Its not as simple as impeaching the President, Vice President, or incarcerating a handful of D.C. political players. No matter what happens, our country will be hit hard at a time that it can’t afford to take many more hits. Its unfortunate, but unless we’ve forgotten.. there are many troops in Iraq who need our support and help. They are our loved ones, friends, and American citizens and we need to focus on these individuals.

D.C. officials need to put their money where their mouths are at

My plea to D.C. officials, is pretty much this: put up or shut up! Please carry out the prosecution of any high profile politicians or get back to work because there is no time for petty nonsense. Its fine for bloggers halfway across the globe to do it, because the consequences of my work do not trickle down to the American people. Washington representatives, on the other hand have a responsibility to all Americans to do their job and keep politics out decisions that require some semblance of objectivity and that simply isn’t happening
