Two FAA Workers Say They've Lost Out On Promotions After Capitol Hill Testimony

This is what happens when honest government employees step forward to expose corruption. It all starts at the top with the Bush administration.

How do you people expect the FAA to be filled with unqualified cronies if we expect them to be competant? Huh? Explain that one to me liberals!

WHAT THE F IS THE POINT OF HAVING AN FAA IF THEIR EMPLOYEES AREN''T ALLOWED TO DO THEIR JOBS? WHOMEVER IS IN CHARGE OF THE FAA, OUGHT TO BE FIRED! SOUNDS LIKE THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR YEARS. IF THE FAA ITSELF IS NOT GOING TO ACTIVELY PROMOTE PUBLIC AIRLINE SAFETY, THEN IT NEEDS TO BE DISBANDED ALTOGETHER.

It is a fact that all government agencies instituted to enforce rules/laws passed by congress, are under the control of each presiding administration department (in this case the Bush administration)?

This control is always passed on to each succeeding administration, which in turn replaces the heads of each department to manage according to the desires/policies of the president and his administration.

A corrupt administration%u2019s integrity, or lack of, can, and usually does, permeate every department under its control.

The president may, and almost always does, nominate new heads of departments, which are then approved or disapproved by Congress.
In the past this has kept things more or less under control.

During the first 6 years of this administration, the same party controlled both houses of congress. Any and all appointees Bush made were simply rubberstamped.

However, corporations have taken over congress, thanks mostly to the exorbitant costs of campaign financing today, to the point they no longer regulate or control.

We have almost reached the point of no return in this matter. The only way we, as voters, can, peacefully, effect any change is to vote in a democratic president and democratic majority in the senate this year, and then remove any congressperson, of any party, up for election in 2010 who does not follow the wishes of the people and do their sworn duty.

IMO it%u2019s the best, and maybe last, chance left.

Floydzeppl, that would not be considered rape.

[floydzeppl]

What a hoot to see all the RepubliBumpkins defending cover-ups of safety violations by the Bush FAA.

They love Bush so much that they''d support him to the bitter end even if he was raping 12-year-old girls on Christian Compounds in Texas.
