The General Services Administration (GSA), according to Wikipedia “is an independent agency of the United States government, established in 1949 to help manage and support the basic functioning of federal agencies. The GSA supplies products and communications for U.S. government offices, provides transportation and office space to federal employees, and develops governmentwide cost-minimizing policies, among other management tasks. Its stated mission is to ‘help federal agencies better serve the public by offering, at best value, superior workplaces, expert solutions, acquisition services and management policies.’”

However, it appears that lately the GSA has been used for partisan political purposes to help secure Republican pick-ups in the 2008 elections. During the Clinton years, much was made about Bill Clinton renting out the Lincoln bedroom to the highest bidder, which is bad enough, but here we have a White House using political appointees to force non-partisan Federal to advance the GOP agenda.

Lurita Doan, Administrator of the GSA, appeared before the House today to address the charges against her. In the following testimony, watch her dodge and weave and lose her memory when faced with overwhelming evidence of corruption.

I’m not quite sure just how much of the federal bureaucracy — funded by tax payers and supposedly non-partisan — has been subverted to further the White House’s political agenda. The more I hear of this, the more I find myself incapable of supporting any GOP candidate in the future. At this point, I think I must back whatever Democrat (or independent) has a viable shot at the White House — our country cannot survive an additional four years of such blatant corruption and subversion of our laws.
