Hearing on Allegations of GSA Misconduct: Grassley

The Committee on Oversight and Government Reform holds a hearing: "Allegations of Misconduct at the General Services Administration." The hearing inquires about allegations that GSA Administrator Lurita Doan failed to follow proper procedures for awarding federal contracts, attempted to intervene in contract negotiations, and engaged in partisan political activities on federal property. Sen. Grassley (R-IA), who has also examined these issues, testifies on his own inquiries.

The Republicans are not as low-life as your emotions are leading you to believe: they are simply the party that has always, historically, provably, been the party that represents business, particularly big business. And, remember, love, that the basically what business is all about is the institution which is designed to make a product absolutely as cheaply as possible and sell it for as high a price as possible.

Surorise, Surprise, corrupt Republicans in our Congress? Christ, they cut taxes for the millionaires, and billionaires, they rape and pillage our Government, they waste trillions on a needless war in Iraq, they steal from the working class, the middle class and give to the rich. As far as I am concnerned the Republican Party and the Conservative movement consists of thieves and robber Barons and they should all be voted out of office and sent to jail.

"Witch hunt" you wish. What is is with you kool-aiders? Who cares if she is a "minority woman"? Since when should anyone get away with corruption and (very likely) perjury because of minority status? This is redolent of the cries of "gay bashing" the extreme right yowled when, given its blatant anti-gay stance, the hypocrisy of its clasping a gay porno star/male prostitute to its bosom (albeit unknowingly) was pointed out to it.

Seems to me the democraps are on yet another witch hunt. They also don't very sympathetic attacking Ms. Doan, a minority woman. What a bunch of hypocrites.

I believe that a far greater percentage of contracts should be set aside for small businesses. This country is being largely controlled by big business, the military complex in particular. More businesses mean better compitition and priceing.  Terry Nelson / Lifetek Armor, Inc.
