Whoever the Democratic nominee is needs to make accountability a major talking point in his campaign. In the past three years we’ve had major lapses on 9/11 prevention, Iraqi WMD intelligence, Iraqi reconstruction, and corporate regulation. Yet the only high-ranking government officials Bush has fired are the ones who didn’t tote the administration’s ideological line (O’Neill and Lindsey).
The Democratic nominee needs to highlight this and promise that performance, not partisanship, will be the bench mark of his administration.
Sure, why not throw on another promise they won’t keep 😉 You know, like health care for everyone…
