Reply #53: I have to agree with this OP, Plame-gate has taken over [View All]

a substantial portion of our attention.

While the fall out from this remains to be seen, as of this moment no one knows what will come from the Fitz investigation, we are still being reactive not proactive.

We are reacting to news not making it.

We need to make sure that the American people understand that Fitz-gate is not just an example of isolated corruption in the WH, but rather represents systemic illness in the conservative moment.

We need to give America some pro-active solutions that make the Democrats appealing, and turning that appeal into votes.

Why?

Because there is a risk in thinking that Plame-gate is an end in itself, and if that happens we will sit by and slumber while the conservatives regroup, wash their hands of this administration, and put up fresh faces to keep fighting th battle for the soul of America.

I would have been more assured that Plame-gate has made a substantial impact on the cons if I had not seen David Frum, and Jay Sekulow bragging on TV yesterday and pushing their agenda for a more radicalrightwing nominee like Rogers- Brown. I did not see the humility in them that signaled they had been caught out to be the scum that advocated this war in Iraq and the so-called cultural war at home.

Instead they acted like conquering hero's for getting Miers dumped.

We can't ever rest easy, the enemy is wiley and tenacious.
