In view of the defeat of the Senate Ethics Bill...

[katsy]

it will be business as usual in the Senate.

Our Democratic Senators lack the votes necessary to effect meaningful change. I praise their efforts, but the handwriting is on the wall.

Unless we get one or more defections of Senate repubics to the Democratic Party, it will be in '08 that we gain the necessary strength in numbers. By stopping any meaningful legislation in the Senate, the repubics win. The Democrats will be branded as "do-nothings" by msm. Any negotiations of future bills in committee between the House & Senate (not on this ethics bill of course) will dilute the good work of the House. No one but the repubics will benefit by what the msm will brand as a Democratic failure.

IMO, only the House can prevent that from happening. It's my hope that the House pursues the necessary investigations of this administration and the investigations give way to impeachment. The house is where our strength in numbers lie now. Contact your Representatives. I'd rather see government stop rather than more of the same.

This may also be the only way to stop the chimp's war plans for the next 2 years. We simply don't have the votes in the Senate to stop the chimp.

investigate - impeach - impale.
