Ex-Aide Questions Bush Vow to Back Faith-Based Efforts (washingtonpost.com)
We've already noted the religious right-wing's unhappiness with George W. Bush's policy of "global hegemony." Now, David Kuo, Bush's former deputy director of the White House Office of Faith-Based and Community Initiatives says that this administration is not really all that interested in "compassionate conservatism." Kuo is the second appointee to the OFBCI to make this charge. John DiIulio left in 2001, saying that Karl Rove was running "everything," and calling the Bush White House "the reign of the Mayberry Macchiavellis."
"No administration since [Lyndon B. Johnson's] has had a more successful legislative record than this one. From tax cuts to Medicare, the White House gets what the White House really wants. It never really wanted the 'poor people stuff.' "
When will people of good will see that this is an administration that plays fast and loose with the truth in order to garner support for what is a truly radical agenda?
