What Do We Think Is REALLY Gonna Happen
With the Valerie Plame affair? I know we'll have to wait, first of all, to see who gets indicted. But after that, do we really believe this could be the thing to bring down the House, or will it get lost in some bigger event -- God forbid, knock on wood.

I try to remain optimistic, and I know this kind of unchecked arrogance is bound to meet its match, but I feel we've been burnt and ignored and shafted so many times, it's hard to imagine anything of any significance coming ot of this, hope and pray though I may.

Is my spirit just broken?

1. Even if it doesn't end the administration
it will cripple it.

3. I agree
The Plame/DeLay/Frist/Katrina/Safavian/Aragoncillo issues will surely cripple the GOP even if there are no convictions.

The damage is done...

GOP corruption -- the gift that keeps giving

5. And if the D's
take it next year, then what? Impeachment? Could it go that far?

4. One indictment at a time
Don't think that the administration will all go off to jail at once - but instead root for one well-placed indictment. That should be enough to convince John Q Public once and for all about this incredibly arrogant, corrupt party.

6. Spirit
When Nixon beat McGovern all those years ago, my spirit was
almost broken. I gave up on the intelligence of the majority
of the American people. But you should never lose your spirit,
as hard as it may be, we must fight on.

But I believe in the American people. If the voting isn't rigged, and the truest information possible is in the public square.. the people will do the right thing, every time.

7. Did you not see the lead story on ABC, CBS and NBC this evening?
Bloomberg holds press conference regarding unsubstaniated rumor that terraists are about to blow up the subway. Conveniently on the same day that Rove gets called back to the grand jury? They'll stage a 9/11.

11. Well, that combined with the spy scandal and torture and DSM and,...
,...(I just know I'm leaving some others out),...will tie the threads together on the network of this corrupt, criminal cabal and cause the BushCO/neoconster administration to completely unravel.

12. I think it's a simple 50-50 chance. We all know how much rotten,
murderous, greedy, hypocritical corruption lies under the deceiving veneer of the repug's entire existence. They can fix most problems by being aware well in advance of what they are.

What is needed is a large, uncontainable, unspinnable blow of epic proportions. Something that will splatter the administration's mirage in a very obvious, in your face kind of way.

This has the potential to go either way. I'd say it's already done quite a bit of damage.

...Trying not to get my hopes up...
