When Obama wins I damn sure expect friends of his and the Democratic party to be put in power and rewarded with government appointments, contracts and such.

As Edwin Edwards used to say "there are four types of people to appoint to positions and award contracts to, qualified friends, unqualified friends, qualified enemies and unqualified enemies, I've never exhausted the first group."

4. Ya know, I think there really are some DUers who feel that way...
At least, that's what I can figure out from some of the naysayers' posts the last few weeks.

It's just been incredible the level of 'oh noes, it's all over' from some.

3. I'd rather think that Obama wouldn't appoint someone to his cabinet
because he or she expressed that they liked cows during their childhood.

5. I disagree. Profiteering cronyism is a PLAGUE on our democracy!
The profiteering and power-mongering republicans attacks all that,...that THEY hold within themselves. However, I have no doubt the REPUBLICAN PARTY'S engagement of profiteering cronyism will make Obama's choices appear not only noble but moral and Christian-like,...IF COMPARED.

I must say, the comparisons must be aggressively articulated because, while the "im/moral majority" will wage war on perfect people it will refuse to acknowledge its own gross imperfections.

9. When we win, it's our friends who will have all the government contracts

and the other people will be looking in through the windows. I understand that upsets you, guess it should. But tough shit.

8. Republicans usually reward unqualified friends who do a heck of a job.
And Palin's been a good Christian Fundamentalist Republican.

16. WRONG! This NEEDS to be attacked
Bush was all about cronyism, to our detriment.

This is MORE OF THE SAME.
