Broken
Government: How Republican Rule Destroyed
the Legislative, Executive, and Judicial Branches
Written by
John W. Dean
John Dean has
become one of the most trenchant and respected commentators on
the current state of American politics and one of the most
outspoken and perceptive critics of the administration of George
W. Bush in his New York Times bestsellers Conservatives
Without Conscience and Worse than Watergate.
In his eighth book, Dean takes the broadest and deepest view yet
of the dysfunctional chaos and institutional |
damage
that the Republican Party and its core conservatives have
inflicted on the federal government. He assesses the state of
all three branches of government, tracing their decline through
the presidencies of Nixon, Ford, Reagan, Bush I, and Bush II.
Unlike most political commentary, which is concerned with
policy, Dean looks instead at process--making the case
that the 2008 presidential race must confront these fundamental
problems as well. Finally, he addresses the question that he is
so often asked at his speaking engagements: What, if anything,
can and should politically moderate citizens do to combat the
extremism, authoritarianism, incompetence, and increasing focus
on divisive wedge issues of so many of today's conservative
politicians?
With the Democrats now in control of both the House and Senate,
the stakes for the 2008 presidential election have never been
higher. This is a book for anyone who wants to return government
to the spirit of the Constitution. |
