Are Bush's Secret Service Bodyguards All Republicans?
Do you think they screen-out and reassign the ones who are liberal?

1. No, it's fairly apolitical.....
A relative of mine worked through several administration from both parties.

2. I don't think SS Protection is allowed
to (outwoodly) have a party affilation....Just like military isn't . They are there to do a job unless they want to get re-assigned.

4. They also probably sign a pretty strong non disclosure agreement
If you want to work for "The Man" then you gota keep his secrets, no matter what.

7. That was funny
but I think those SS men are very professional. When is the last time you saw one of them write a book?

8. in all seriousness, I think they are the most professional
of any of the federal policing types. I truly respect their dedication. Lord knows I would nenver be willing to take a bullet for the Dauphin. That job's gotta take nerve, nowadays.

10. Is that a serious question?
An ex Secret Service agent wrote a tell all book about Clinton that smeared him and Hillary. It got lots of play on hate radio and the cable channels.
