Who, the Democrats or the Republicans? I don't know what the real reason for cutting Pace off at the knees was but I can't believe it was fear of a contentious renomination process. Blaming it all on the Democrats is a convenient excuse. Anybody they appoint to any position is going to go through a rough and contentious nomination process. Why suddenly cut and run on this one unless there was something else they didn't want exposed?
There were 10 Democrates what voted against bringing the immigration bill to a vote and a few Republicans who voted to bring the bill to a vote. Removing General Pace was the deal Bush made to get his immigration bill passed!
Boih Democrats and Republicans. It’s just like the immigration debate.
The country is now run by an oligarchy. Average Americans need not apply. Look at the ridiculous scenario we are in now where the Presidency is becoming a game of two families - Clinton and Bush. In a nation of 300,000,000 people, you mean to tell me that these are the only people who can be President? Based on their failings and our experiences with them, you wouldn’t want anyone from these clans to wind your watch, let alone run a nation.
