HEY! Let's not go into "Orgasim" over Gannon...it won't bring down Chimp
Edited on Wed Feb-09-05 07:52 PM by KoKo01
this will need steady work by Dem Activists to push the Howie ("Two Hats" and ..Blitzers) ..and other "Gate Keepers."

Those of us who are "Media Watchers" since "Selection 2000" have learned by now, that those stories who blast on the scene...no matter how "well documented" by "internet research" are given "One Minute of Fame" but get "Spiked."

It's getting to the point of "US AGAINST THEM" but we are NO WHERE NEAR WINNING!

Keep the powder dry..and go for the guerilla tactics like the Revolutionary Patriots did...in the "Founding of America." And while the founders had their many flaws and trashed our "Native Americans" their "concept" was for the "Good" it was the "execution" that got fouled up and shitted on...if we could have stayed "Pure" maybe we could have had a better country.

But, we gotta keep on fighting for RIGHTS OF THE PEOPLE..against the POWERS THAT BE...forever..and ever...and ever...and ever.. :shrug:

sorry for typos...etc...running out the door..

2. KoKo, I Think This Story Cuts VERY Close To The Bone. Remember,
it's hubris that brings down tyrants. They believe they're inpenetrable and do stupid things.

Having this fool in the WH was stupid.

Yeah, this story has hit a nerve.

4. I hope you're right, I think you're right that this "has legs"
Edited on Wed Feb-09-05 08:13 PM by KoKo01
I'm just cautionary because we've been through so much of this before. We've felt "THIS" would be the story that will bring them down...a "snare" catching them in the "Net." And we've seen huge stories like "Stolen 2000 Election/9/11/Midterms/WMD/Iraq Invasion/Dem Primaries/Swift Boat Liars/ etc...etc...etc...(The King and I :D) take hold and the stories get "Spiked, Twisted and Turned against us."

I'm just urging caution, here. We will get them one day...but this might not be IT..the BIG ONE.although THIS STORY really get's to their HYPOCRACY against gays/values and all they "pretend to be about."

I just think that for us "hopefuls" we are "on the edge" so we must be very cautious. It's either "going on meds" or waiting for "action."

I don't want to go on "Meds" and I know that we are in a "battle to the death" so I'm not expecting "immediate action" when so much is at stake for the "Insiders" of BOTH parties...that's all I'm saying..here..just 2 cents...not worth more than that... Jeeze I use too many quotation marks...ugh.

3. Sorry, but I get off on this stuff...
Call me a perv, but watching the neocon trash exposed for the hypocrites they are, and their ensuing panic/spin, gets me hot. It's like foreplay. Just because it's not the main event, doesn't mean you want to skip it.

That said, we DO need to keep our eyes on the ball and drive home the security/Plame issues.

5. I find your post offensive, minimizing and oppressive.
Nothing personal. Just my impression.

My PASSION (which is distinct from an "orgasim") and OUTRAGE and EXCITEMENT at anything which could bring this purely corrupt regime down will NOT be dumbed down due to your failure to inspire.

I reject projections.

6. couldn't agree more. fact is, 99% of the public could give two shits...
...about this.

No one with more than an ounce of brain thought that this guy was not a GOP plant...he wasn't fooling anyone.

Move on. This isn't Watergate.

7. It's not about just one story...it's about the bigger picture
Which is, of course, the widespread corruption of this administration and the compliant media that props them up. This one managed to cut close to the bone, as one poster put it, and though you're right about this one not bringing down the Chimp, it will help get us even closer to exposing these frauds the next time.

8. I think it might start shaking the foundations of RW stronghold. (Plame)
What the hell was this guy doing with classified information about an undercover agent? SECURITY BREECH big time. Plus, it's about more lying to the public. The WH knew Gannon was a fake. It was just another fraud on the public to them. Oh, this is a lot bigger than you think.

9. It's just more evidence that SmirkCo can get away with anything at all
Anyone who is watching what BushCo has done in the last four years is not surprised.

His faithful supporters wouldn't care if he was caught raping a nine year old boy.

10. Totally disagree, this ties it ALL together
WH propaganda machine, Plame, everything. For god's sake, THIS is the time to get behind Rep Slaughter and demand all of this stuff be exposed. I don't even know what the hell your post meant.

15. I did sign Slaughter's petition and applaud her letter. But, remember
Edited on Wed Feb-09-05 10:26 PM by KoKo01
it's a letter and Dems have no authority. We just gotta keep "plugging away" is what I meant in my post...I would like "Gannongate" to be THE THING that Brings Chimp Down. But many of us have seen so much that we thought would bring him down, that I was just being cautionary. Not a downer...but you don't want to end up depressed and on meds if this doesn't do it...and believe me...there's so much that should have brought him down already...that those of us who've been around here for a long while,probably are either doing Yoga, walking excessively, on meds or in therapy waiting for what it will be that brings him down.

I hope you understand where I was coming from being cautionary. :shrug:

16. It's a chink in the armor
I don't think there's anything here that would bring him down. But any opportunity we have to seriously discredit this White House would be helpful.

But I kind of doubt it will happen because the one thing we never have that the right has is persistence and unity and knowing what will resonate with the public and what won't.

They win because they take one little thing and use it to paint a broad brush across the entire party. We lose becauae we take one little thing and focus on the part of it that nobody gives a shit about or that we can't prove.

19. Sad, but true...it seems.. they take "one little thing" knowing it will
resonate." And yet, we never seem to be able to find that "one little thing" and give it legs...and it's not like we haven't been trying, but we don't have those RW Bulldogs to hammer it home backed up by the many RW THINKTANKS who have Corporate Access with the MSM...

We are in a terrible situation...

11. I don't recall anyone saying it would bring down the chimp
Now if you'll excuse me, I have a steaming hot plate of schadenfreude to go and gloat over. :D

13. We always hope that "evidence" will bring him down...it might be silly
something...as small thing which does it. Something so small and insignificant we miss it...but it brings him down.

One of the most Crooked P-Residents in history...and we've gotta wait for a "simple thing" to take him down...UGh...too much..but I think "history" says it will be small so that the "BIG STUFF" never sees the light of day and the Myth...carries on....

14. You have a valid point
A 3rd-rate burglary changed our nation's history, after all.

17. Nixon was moved along for winding down the Cold War, a no-no.
But having a great big stinking pile of security breech and propaganda shill in one scandal pie moves the ball down the field towards having more Repubs ready to put some distance between them and the Em-poor-er instead of goose-stepping tightly.

So this chips away at the mood of impunity that neocon enablers have been hiding behind.

Every time we 'gotcha' and let them know WE know the scam, they lose confidence in their scamming and adjust.

This is a psy-ops victory against the perps.

Sorry for all the mixed metaphors.

12. The only thing that brings the chimp down
is more speeches by the chimp, and I mean full speaches, not the glorifying clips Fox plays.
