Bush is the man your forefathers warned you about

One of the worst government farces is the Federal Election Commission. Not that the FEC is a bad idea. No, it's a good idea. There needs to be a commission that oversees elections in the US. One that makes sure elections are held fairly and that politicians don't use federal money to campaign with, that makes sure the campaign laws are followed, and one that has some teeth to enforce those laws.

The problem with it is that the President gets to "appoint" the people who are on that commission. This president has appointed four of them and of course while congress is out of session.

Bush, again wants no interferance with anything he does. Time and time again, he flaunts laws and procedures or simply "goes around" them. This tendency to "walk the line" of criminality is troubling to anyone who believes that a president is there to serve the people and that the checks and balances put in place by the founders of this country so that no one person would ever have too much power.
