Reply #17: Scalia will get in... [View All]

and then be ripe for impeachment?

we've had three straight elections stolen from us, with scalia as the driving force behind the one that set up the first of the "trifecta", and we need to appear reasonable and cooperative as a response?

i have to say i disagree.

i don't think that there is anything the dems could say or do that would put us in any worse position than we are. Than we've been put in. Than we've put ourselves in. Than we have accepted as our lot.

if we have to depend on the future impeachment of a CHief Justice Scalia as one of the tools for returning democracy to the people, then we are in a boatload of catpiss. if we have to depend on the impeachment of * by a republican congress, dream on. And if we have to depend on winning congress back in 2006 so that we can initiate congressional investigations that actually look for causes and address real issues, and think that our tepid and belated response to the widespread allegations of voter fraud in 2004 will inspire confidence, keep dreaming.

we have told millions of people that we don't hold their right to vote and have that vote counted sacred. we have told thousands of downticket candidates that we have a threshhold (apparently 119,000 votes, although it was double that when Kerry did the gentlemanly thing by throwing in the towel) at which we will fight for enfranchisement. tell that to a downticket dem who lost by a hundred votes in 2004- the third national election since 2000 where fraud was a major factor.

personally, i like leaders who lead. there is a time for tactics and trategy, but there a good leader knows that you attack on as many fronts as possible.
