Administration Planning Fight To The Death If Dems Take Back Congress

Here is yet another hint that King George and his lackeys are afraid they will lose control of one or both Houses of Congress come November 7th. According to Time Magazine Tony Snow says Bush may attempt to bypass Capitol Hill if they lose control of Congress: "He told all of us, 'Put on your track shoes. We're going to run to the finish,'" Snow said. "He's going to be aggressive on a lot of fronts. He's been calling all his Cabinet secretaries and telling them, 'You tell me administratively everything you can do between now and the end of the presidency. I want to see your to-do list and how you expect to do it.' We're going to try to be as ambitious and bold as we can possibly be." In fact, when it comes to deploying its Executive power, which is dear to Bush's understanding of the presidency, the President's team has been planning for what one strategist describes as "a cataclysmic fight to the death" over the balance between Congress and the White House if confronted with congressional subpoenas it deems inappropriate. The strategist says the Bush team is "going to assert that power, and they're going to fight it all the way to the Supreme Court on every issue, every time, no compromise, no discussion, no negotiation." So there you have it. To hell with the people's vote, to hell with the rights of Congress - the main focus of this Administration is to shrug off the will of the people, and hold on to their reigns of power no matter what the cost in "a cataclysmic fight to the death....all the way to the Supreme Court on every issue, every time, no compromise, no discussion, no negotiation."
