Tomorrow's News: Time for another prediction thread

[PinkTiger]

As many of you know, I'm a sensitive, an empath, and I get occasional insight into our future. I've been getting "blips" for several days now, so here are some of my predictions for things yet to happen:

1. Election 2006 will be overwhelmingly good for Democrats in many states, particularly in states that are on the edge of conservatism but were formerly blue. Especially in Missouri, my state, Democrats will take back many seats and start to erode enclaves of Republican strongholds (actually don't know what that means, but it sounds good, lol). Much of this in Missouri is due to a suspicion that Matt Blunt, our esteemed Governor, who is Roy Blunt's son, is not such a great guy. Also, Jim Talent's (Senator) past as a lobbyist will hurt him. He will lose the election to Claire McCaskill, who will become a long-tenured U.S. Senator.

2. One of the reasons 2006 will be good for Democrats in November is the hurricane season. It will not prove to be as horrible as it is feared; however, a couple of strong storms will hit the Atlantic seaboard, one of them this summer and another in the early fall. Massive deaths will not happen, but a high amount of property damage in previously untouched areas will make for much media coverage. FEMA response and an already tattered Governement reputation will keep people galvanized to the left. It probably isn't fair, but who cares? It's our turn.

3. The economy will continue to improve, but interest rates will see modest increases and housing starts will fall slightly. In November, most Americans will feel financially sluggish and vote accordingly.

4. Surprise: a candidate will appear, seemingly out of nowhere, for the Democrats to run for president. It will be a man -- sorry, folks. This person will be absolutely unbeatable in the primaries, and he will get the nod. He is from a Western state. It is not that he is not known, it is just that he is not seen as a possible front runner at the moment. He will be soundly re-elected in November for the seat he now holds, and will shortly thereafter announce he is starting an exploratory committee to consider a run for the White House.

5. Vanity Fair will print an article in September, 2006 that paints the Bush Administration as static: the article will point out the lack of progress made in the U.S. and other Western countries in science, medicine, education and the arts since Bush became president, and blame the drought on his policies, which have favored war and military might over peacetime progress. The emphasis will be on how Bush is the catalyst for a further "dumbing down" of America, and for fostering ignorance in the name of fundamentalism and conservative political aims. As a result, several political cartoons will show Bush as an extremist, on par with the Islamic fundamentalists -- and both will be shown flaunting their considerable igonorance comically.

1. Interesting

I don't think I agree with you on the president thing except it will surprise people. I HIGHLY agree with you that the midterms will be good for democrats. I don't know how close or anything but if things stay the same the democrats will win back at least one of the two branches of government.

[PinkTiger]

2. I wish this is not what I saw, also.

I really want Hillary to run. And win. But I don't see this. I wish I did.

[NJCher]

3. fascinating, PinkTiger

Now it's going to drive me crazy wondering who that man from the western states is....

5. Why did Montana flash into my mind?

As I sat here reading this thread "Montana" kept coming up for me.

I do know they have some Dems in that state that have done well in elections, but I can't even recall their names. Now I need to go look up Montana...

6. governor Schweitzer (sp?)

He was recently on 60 Minutes talking about fuel production from coal. He's a Democrat who'd probably get a lot of red votes.

[Why Syzygy]

10. weeel .. coal IS a fuel

And a mechanical engineer explained to me that turning coal into other 'fuels' is very costly and wastes 'fuel'. So. I would have a hard time going with that idea.

[MissWaverly]

25. I don't know

I do know that the Germans converted coal to oil during WWII, they have always been
good with their efficiency, I don't think they would have done it during wartime if
it was so costly.

[Why Syzygy]

4. I love these predictions!

Will focus everything I have on them to come true. I don't care who the western dude is.
The truth needs to shine.

[BlueIris]

7. Interesting. And that is GREAT news about MO.

My whole family is from there and in many ways, despite what the media might tell you, it has terrific Democrats and pockets of AWESOME liberals. I'm sure I don't have to tell PinkTiger that. My parents were raised there, and they raised me, so I'm convinced that Missouri Democrats make the best kind of devot, effective Progressives.

[nickinSTL]

8. interesting

not sure if I agree, but I like a lot of the conclusions.

I'd love to see Talent go down...McCaskill as a long-term Senator? I'm ok with that :D

A western state Dem? Sounds like Schweitzer of Montana. Don't know that he's the only option, but he seems like a strong possibility, though certainly not considered a front-runner right now.

[nadinbrzezinski]

9. interesing except for one

the economy is NOT improving, and all economic data points to soemthing the guv'ment is trying to hide... there is a chance that one of them storms you are thinking off will be a class V economic storm... china and japan are laying the work for the pulling off the rug from under us

[PinkTiger]

12. I guess it depends on what barometer you use.

I am in real estate and higher education; two industries that depend on a strong economy to survive. Real estate has been good here in SW MO for the past two years; interest rates are good, FHA requirements have eased, and banks are lending to people who couldn't get a loan five years ago. I think that is a good sign of a better economy. In higher ed, we have seen an increase in enrollment again after a few years of a decline. More people can afford college, even with tuition rates at record highs.
And, the stock market is as high as it was, almost, in 2000.

So I think the economy is improving.

While it is possible that the government (especially THIS government) is hiding figures and messing with the data, I doubt if China and Japan will pull the rug. They are both too codependent upon the U.S. for that.

[davsand]

15. I think home sales are not telling the whole story on the economy.

There are a lot of people that went into houses that were just at the outer edge of what they could afford. They mortgaged themselves to the hilt and gambled that nothing negative was gonna happen to their financial status. Some are not winning with that bet.

Those relaxed lending standards have set up some very real threats to market stability. People who overspent on housing are really gonna feel it in the next couple of years, and the stats on foreclosure rates nationwide are supporting that outlook.

I'm seeing a LOT of stuff on the market that is For Sale By Owner (FSBOs in my vernacular.) A lot of times that happens when people are trying to get out from under a house without having to pay a real estate sales commission. Similarly, I am seeing an awful lot more foreclosures and tax sales on properties.

When you go out to look at those properties you see living rooms with lawn furniture in them because that is what they could afford after the house payments and the other living expenses.

Without putting too much personal information out there, I deal with real estate values and property taxes on a daily basis, and I can tell you that a LOT of folks are really worried about making the property tax payments this year. There is a lot of quiet panic out there.

I do think that the metro areas are a bit more insulated right now, but I'd be very worried about those same areas if the lending interest rates tick up too much more.

Just my two cents...

[japple]

16. It seems like a facade to me. That coupled with the fact that our

US national savings rate is at -5%. It's never been that low. We are owned by the Chinese.

[nadinbrzezinski]

17. And locally our real estate boom is now

slowly going into either its cyclical 20 year bust, or worst... there is quiet panic out there... and what our Friend does not know will not hurt, but many of those loans are the kind that if you miss a payment or partial payment it will go back into the principal... hell the new types of loans allow for these people to get into a house, but you tell me how long will they keep it?

It used to be that folks were happy when they were done with payments, but more and more are taking second and even third mortgages.

No, the economy is not improving... and the button 20% has a net worth of -3000K, during the Clinton years it was ZERP... not good, since no savings were allowed, but at least they were NOT in debt.

[mntleo2]

19. Yes, But Are They First Time Home Buyers?

Many homes being bought are by landlords in my area (Seattle). First time home buyers could never dream of owning their own home unless they are yuppies. Homes are being bought up by the upper 1% ~ for investment. Perhaps this is not true in your area, but home buying is not a very good indication of how the economy is doing IMO, especially if the average family could never afford one even with two incomes. Here so called "affordable housing" is a joke ~ flimsy made condos are going for 250,000.00 and a home costs at least 350,000.00 ~ and this is supposedly a bargain. Ever rising energy costs, medical, transporataion and ever falling wagtes, is out of sight. Combine those expenses and a house is just not in the picture for most people.

No, housing IMO is not a good indication of how the economy is doing unless the a person with a lower middle class wage can at least pay a mortgage that is 1/4 of their net ~ this used to be what was considered manageable for a mortgage. A job with a livable wage that would pay such a mortgage, is more of an indication as to how the economy is doing, IMO.

Respectfully rasing this flag as somerthing to think about...

11. This sounds hopeful.

I can think a few from the western states that might be a dark horse type of candidate, but none seem to stand out from the others. However, now that Al Gore is a resident of California, he's from the west too.

[leanin_green]

13. I like the sound of that. The only Dem I can get behind. n/t

[LiberalEsto]

29. I didn't know that, but it sounds wonderful

I was thinking it might be Bill Richardson, the governor of New Mexico.

[Wickster]

39. Bill Richardson also immediately came to my mind n/t

[Cleita]

45. He did to me as well. I wonder.

We need a good politician who can negotiate our corrupt system and come out on top.

[cassiepriam]

14. Empath, sensitive

Pink,

Thank you for sharing with us. I am in awe at the range and type of gifts present on this board, as well as the generosity.

If you don't mind, I would like to ask a few questions. If you are not comfortable answering them I understand.

How do you cope with living in this world as an empath and sensitive? I am well aware that to be an empath is not an easy life, the world can fee very overwhelming most of the time. Do you have any techniques that help you cope?

How do your "blips" come to you? More as a knowing, or do you see pictures in your head, etc.

Do you have any other psychic gifts?

Thank you in advance

[PinkTiger]

18. No problem - I am glad to respond.

I am 55. When I was younger, especially as a child, the "gifts" weren't so great. It took me a long time to realize that other people didn't "know" what I knew, couldn't see what I saw, couldn't feel what I felt. When I did realize this, it was somewhat scary. I had to learn to shut people's thoughts out -- not so much their "thoughts," as I don't actually "hear" what they are thinking - just the general gist. Also, I would know things about them that I could not have known. The hardest thing to deal with as a child is to know that people are indifferent toward you or don't like you. Especially when these people are adults. Teachers don't like precocious children; they like children who are good and quiet and don't cause trouble. I played sick a lot as a kid, just so I could stay home. I hated school.

If I touch someone, it is greater. So I don't touch. In fact, I am not a touchy, feely person at all except with my very close family.

My whole family has this; there were no secrets in our house. I have it stronger than most of them, though. My father didn't have it. It came from Mom's side. Could never hide anything from Mom. Dad avoided all of us like the plague!! (ha!)

The "blips" come as an awareness, sort of like dawn arriving -- a little at first, then more, and finally it is morning. For example, I know when it is time to look into the future, because I have been getting signals. Kind of like just before daybreak.

As an adult, the gift is truly a gift. I use it in teaching and in sales. It is also a magnet, because I attract people who sense that I am in tune with them. So I have a lot of clients who are women, a lot who are afraid of realtors, who have small animals, and who need someone to mother them through the process of finding a home. I also get clients who are sensitives, empaths, and psychic.

I am not psychic. I don't see dead people. I have, for the most part, dreams that are insignificant and boring. In my situation, it is all about what is happening in daylight, when awake, and with people. Meditation is soothing but brings little information.

Here is what i do when I'm seeking information about the future or an unknown situation (where someone is, what they are doing, etc.) -- I ask myself, for example, "now what?" And my mind goes blank for a moment so it can receive the information. The blankness is very important, because the vision must not be colored with what I want to have happen or what I think will happen.

I can't see my own future. I can, however, will myself into action or change my life by actualization.


Hope this explains it.

[cassiepriam]

20. Thank you very much, Pink

The empath part of your story is familiar territory for me. And like you, my talents manifest most clearly when working with people in practical everyday situations. I use my gifts a great deal in my job, but in a very subtle and indirect way.

I also have the visits from discarnate spirits, and vivid dreams, but I rarely do much with these. Kind of difficult to work these into everyday life and conversation! I feel so privileged to be able to have a safe place here on this forum to work more out in the open. The discarnate spirits bring me a lot of happiness, so it is very nice.

Also things come to me throughout the day. Taking a shower is like a psychic phone booth!

Being psychic is very complex with many varieties of gifts and talents. Pink, yours may not be mediumistic, but you are very psychic nonetheless. I know that many others have more extensive gifts than I do, but we are meant to work with the gifts given to us.

Interesting, one of the most spiritual people I know is a realtor, like you. She takes on the most difficult clients that no one else wants, and does not worry about the money end. But she has turned out to be one of highest earning realtors in the city, but is so humble and modest. Selling and buying a home is emotional and very difficult for many, it is important spiritual work to help people during that process. What a great way to use your gifts and talents. I strongly believe that you are a good example of how we are meant to use our gifts. Practical every day application, slogging away the best we can with our lives and jobs, but using our gifts to help others.

[japple]

21. Thank you, Cassie and Pink Tiger for sharing your gifts

and your stories with us. We have a lot of talent on this forum and I feel fortunate to be among such royalty. Blessings and peace.

[cassiepriam]

24. Thank you for the nice words, on the royalty scale I am a junior footman.

I am like someone who can sing and dance a little, but never enough for prime time! That is OK with me, we are meant to do the best with what we have. My current life is about a lot of painstaking hard work to help other people; the small psychic gifts are just a sidebar and a boost, to help me do a better job.

The most important part of it is the spiritual connection I get when I use them, that is really the part that is most meaningful. I feel very connected spiritually when using these gifts, since they are from God, not me.

But really we are all royalty in the sense that Divinity is in all of us. I do not mean this in a metaphorical way, but in a literal way. Our souls are from the Godhead. The energy within us is from the Divine.

We all have the capacity to be psychic and use our gifts to help others. But most of us do not have those gifts developed well and we are meant to make the planet a better place in less dramatic ways.

[PinkTiger]

22. I'm chuckling after reading about your realtor friend.

I am the one who takes on the difficult clients, too. I also have some very good clients; but I attract those with serious issues. And they won't let me go, even though I have learned to sort of dissuade them if I know there is no way they are getting a house. I have one right now who doesn't have earnest money down and couldn't get a quarter for the phone booth (as a loan) but continues to want this certain house. (!)
I also am one of the top earners in my office. I think it is because I rarely give up, and I work hard for people.
And - I'm also laughing over the spiritual part. My family is afraid to take me to church, for fear the roof will cave in; and I'm not into spirits, not even the distilled kind -- LOL. I'm not saying I don't believe others connect with spirits; I'm just saying the "nether" world wants nothing to do with me. I've tried to connect with my dead relatives, for example, or a dead friend or two; I always get blanked out. Nothing there. However, once in awhile I feel my father's "presence." Last night I dreamed of him - for a brief moment, he came to me in a dream and told me he was proud of me and wanted me to watch out for Mom. It was just a moment though; and I think I may have brought it on because I was dusting his photograph last night before bed.

[cassiepriam]

23. Pink, I am not talking about organized religion

I am talking about living a life that is in tune with universal law, selfless and of service. And the work you do and how you do it fits that description. Why do you thing you are given your gifts and they work so well for you?

I believe the more we use our gifts for good, the more powerful our gifts become.

PS If I went into a traditional Christian church I know the roof would fall in on me :)

And that was your Dad who came to you last night. And he is telling you he loves you.

See, you do see spirits........

[cliss]

26. PT, here's an interesting prediction

for the US economy and the upcoming elections. It looks like it's going to be bad news. Believe me, nobody wants our country to get back to normal from these thieves more than I do.

Chakrapani Ullal is a vedic astrologer. He caught my attention several years ago when he predicted that Bush would win in 2000. Last year, he amazingly predicted that Bush would win again in 2004. I couldn't believe it. Everyone else was saying that Kerry would win. Chakrapani scolded the astrologers and said, "most astrologers were just saying what THEY wanted to see happen. You must be objective and only report what you see in the stars, not what you want to see.

I couldn't believe Bush would win a 2nd time, but he did.

So now for the mid-term elections, Chakrapani sees more vote-rigging. Nothing is going to improve. It's going to be Republicans for another 2 years. But - there's light at the end of the rainbow: see the last 2 sentences.

Chakrapani predictions for the US 2006 - 2007:
"Let us look at the current transits as well. The transit of Saturn in Cancer and the transit of Mars in Aries, beginning from July 2005 until Feb. 2005 is extremely malefic with much negative consequences to the country and the world at large. The details of this influence are given on my website for the benefit of reader who are interested.

Saturn’s transit in Cancer until July 2007, being in the 8th house from the rising sign and 6th house from the Moon will not be beneficial for economic activity. It will further create adverse relations with other countries and it will also adversely affect the health of the nation. This last issue, the health, is due to the exchange between Saturn and the Moon.

With all this upheaval, I do see a light at the end of the tunnel because, after July 2007 the nation will be looking for change. That change will come in the form of a new government. "

[yellowdawgdem]

27. that's an interesting

prediction, and Vedic astrologers are often dead on- although I certainly hope he is wrong about the midterms. Do you happen to have a link to Chakrapani's web site? I haven't been getting many psychic blips about the guvment lately. Though I sure agree that being objective is impt.

[ebayfool]

31. Found the link, but I don't see this as necessarily meaning the midterms

are ill-aspected. That '07 change could be the WH (08 elections?).

http://www.chakrapani.com/articles/Articlepredictions2005.htm

"... after July 2007 the nation will be looking for change."

Maybe it will take that long for a tipping point?

(or this could be that non-objective thing directing my focus - I'm a diehard optimist! LOL!)

[yellowdawgdem]

34. thankyou for posting the link

I see what you mean, he doesn't mention the midterms in specific, that I can see. It's just implied that the lousy saturn and mars placements will prevent any real change. And sun in the 8th house restricting movement as well. Also the fact that jupiter is weak in virgo and not well aspected to prevent it counteracting the saturn, etc. It seems that the financial picture, according to Chakrapani, will continue to weaken as well. I'm glad he mentioned things looking up in 007. I hope he didn't just say that to be nice.

[ebayfool]

36. Ill-aspected was probably a poor choice of words (my own wishful thinking

bleeding through!). Better to say midterms are ill-aspected, but not necessarily destined to defeat?
The weakened financial picture will probably be one of the major factors to that tipping point in 07, though. The American public will get pissed off enough to get out & raise hell @ their pocketbooks, even if they don't care (or care enough to learn?) @ all the other crimes this WH has committed - both in their names & against themselves.

It's like this is a nation of Ambien addicts, hard to wake up!

[yellowdawgdem]

37. that financial picture

Well, if the 006 midterms are won thru cheating, I don't understand how the election in 008 will be any different. It takes a long time to make the kinds of changes we are attempting.
But it sounds like the aspects will lighten up next year, and that isn't very much more time to wait things out. Everything I've read or heard about the U.S. trends seem tied to the financial picture. And we know that money is being drained off in various unsavory directions- the war in Iraq, oil conglomerates, the pharmaceutical industry, and on and on.
What seemed accurate about the reading is the sense that no changes can be made, literally, until the heavier aspects lift. To me that seems accurate, that we are being held back. Very little can be done at this time, not that we should throw our hands up in the air.
In some ways I think it is difficult for Americans to be in this situation, because we are used to fighting, used to having free speech, and have taken alot for granted. I think it goes against us in that now people assume things will get back to normal with no special effort. Or that one pivotal event will shake things back to the way they were. Not that that can't happen- it did with Watergate for sure.

[I Have A Dream]

28. Very interesting, cliss. Too bad about the 2006 midterms...

but it's good to hear about the nation looking for change. These are words that make me have hope.

Thanks for posting this.

[Sanity Claws]

30. If the 2006 election goes that way, there will be a revolution

People will know without a doubt that the election was not clean and revolt. Breaking points do occur. A revolution will cause a new government, or new governments.

[mother earth]

32. If one believes the election in 2000 & 2004 was stolen,

why would one expect 2006 to be different? I find it amusing that some are hopeful we will be winning seats over in Congress. We won't ever have a real election until election reform has been won. Get ready because I predict we will have great disappointments ahead, and I don't need a crystal ball for that one. (No disrespect to predictions, or the astrologer and his predictions.) The greedy, power hungry group that rules is not going to just roll over. They are taking this one all the way.

[Sanity Claws]

33. Why different? tipping point

There comes a point when another straw will break the camel's back. The 2004 election tipped me. I know others tipped earlier. If the election results favor the repubs, after all these polls show that that the Repugs and Bush are so disliked, I think more people will become radicalized.
You don't need 100% participation to have a revolution.

[Cleita]

35. I've been feeling the same not because I'm getting any

psychic messages but because our leaders aren't doing anything to clean up how we do elections. When we uncovered cheating from the 2004 elections our grass roots should have been in there making change, yet the change seems to be coming in the opposite direction. In my state alone our Secretary of State decertified Diebold. So our faux governor Arnold got rid of him and replaced him with a Republican hack who is bringing back the Diebold machines.

I think when Arnold lost on his initiatives it proved to the RWingers that they can't win without cheating so they are doing to rig the 2006 elections again. Sorry for the downer but that's how I feel about it.

[SheilaT]

44. Very interesting.

Have you ever read "Generations by William Strauss and Paul Howe? It came out about 1992 and has strongly influence my understanding of history and current events. If they are right in their analysis of historical cycles, we're still at the beginning stages of an unfolding Crisis. which fits with what Chakrapani sees, although the source of the understanding is rather different.

However, I'm convinced that there's no way Democrats will regain power this year and probably not in 2008. In any event, even if a Republican wins the Presidency in two years, it will of course be a change of the government.

I've been saying for a long time now, that those currently in power came to power in a coup, and they will not give up that power readily, least of all for something as silly as a free, fair, and honest election.

If Strauss and Howe are right, not to mention Chakrapani, we've got a long way to go before things get better.

[Minnesota Libra]

38. I'm going to hold on to your predictions and send good thoughts for.......

......them to come true. I don't have actual predictions but I can pick up on people's feelings, their mental engery so to speak, and have sensed a switch of late. I sense that people don't necessary see Democrats as being the party of their dreams but instead they see Democrats as being a whole lot better than republicans. So I agree that November will prove good for Democrats and then I sense the fun will begin. I hear comments from people like, "These jerks have to be brought to justice."

[BlueIris]

41. "...and then I sense the fun will begin."

Heh. Not to undervalue the darker, less optimistic predictions in this thread, because they come from good sensitives who are just sharing their insights honestly, but--yeah. I still have an overwhelming sense that this whole mess still works out (long term) relatively well. I simply don't feel that Bush is going to get away with the kind of actions some are yet prognosticating. I can sense that there are some seriously dark times approaching (mostly related to economic concerns) but there will be one or two significantly light periods. For Progressives, watching Bush-Cheney go down in flames will be one of them.

[PinkTiger]

40. A little finetuning of my thread

I've had some more insight.

The Bush administration is getting ready to invade Iran. They are doing this because it is seen as an effort to regain ground with their constituency in the U.S., and because they are terrified of losing at the polls in November. The problem is, there are people in their own party who don't want this to happen, and there are also people at the Pentagon who don't want this to happen.
It is avery dangerous time for President Bush. It is a dangerous time for Cheney. They should not be together in the same vehicle or in the same vicinity. There is a strong possibilty that someone connected to them will try to neutralize their power in one fell swoop, and that is all I'm prepared to say.

Sorry. I don't know where this is coming from.

I'm also getting vibes that domestic terrorism is likely from an inside source in the next week. It involves popular spring break destinations.

[BlueIris]

42. Woah.

The Pentagon is out?

One of the only reasons "the plan" for Iran is still being promoted in any form by the neo-cons is because certain hardliners in the Pentagon still want it to happen and won't let go. If people in the Pentagon have truly started opposing this action, I'll renew my own prediction that we as a world won't see the kind of invasion some deeply obsessed Bush folks want.

[Cleita]

43. My opinion as to why BushCo have such incredible power is

because as Commander-in-chief, he can order the military to do anything he wants to. Most Presidents of course don't. They ask for advice from the Joint Chiefs of Staff and usually follow it. Bush doesn't do that. He lets Rummy run roughshod all over the Pentagon in his name.

Now there are some RW hacks in the Pentagon who were given too much power by this administration like Tommie Franks, whom I think is an idiot and who are all for the crazy PNAC agenda for a Pax Americana in the ME. But I'd say the majority aren't for it, but must follow orders.

Now if enough brass in the the Pentagon decide that they aren't going to obey Rummy anymore then BushCo has no power whatsoever. Of course this has all the makings of a coup and maybe no one in the Pentagon wants to do anything so drastic. However, when will they get pushed beyond the point of no return? When that happens I think you will find the military rebelling against their Commander. IMHO

Do you have any thoughts regarding this or insights?

[PinkTiger]

46. Well, sort of.

My impressions aren't so well-thought-out, because they aren't thought out. I'm just giving the "blips" I see.

I'm woefully unversed on this military stuff, really.
Sorry.

I*m not sure who. I just see "Pentagon" and then I see "danger" for the Pres and VP. I also sense that something or someone wants them out of the way.

[Cleita]

47. "...something or someone wants them out of the way."

LOL I'd say 70% of the American public wants that. I'm just joking. That is interesting because I was wondering why there have been no assassination attempts on him.

[LiberalEsto]

55. Eeeek. I've got a kid in Miami this week.

I hope she and her friends make it home safely.

[PinkTiger]

48. Here's an update:

The tide has turned. It is subtle, but it is there. On the talk shows, in the news, on every TV show I hear, it is quite apparent that the talking points are now AGAINST Bush. The atmosphere is quite uncomfortable for him. Even Don Imus is not in his camp anymore. In the next few days somebody close to the president's inner circle is going to bail.
I'm not sure who, but somebody who has decided they are tired of being on a losing team. This person is going to do a lot of talking.
It can't be one of the really close people, because they are already in danger of jail terms, themselves, should the things they are doing come to light.
It's going to be a very interesting spring.

49. Pink Tiger, THANK YOU.

I've been trying to calm down the histrionic naysayers all week by pointing out that even the MSM coverage has slowly but surely changed. We're not out of the woods yet, but Bush simply does not have the kind of support he did even six weeks ago. It won't be long now.

As for who it is, I have to guess Andy Card. He has (almost) nothing to lose anymore.

50. I am getting some more information. The justice department is now involved

They are working with someone on the inside to get information to totally destroy the Bush residency. I see a middle-aged woman - not an official, but a worker - and I see a peripheral male. These are not household names, yet, but they may be, a la Linda Tripp and Monica Lewinsky - very soon.
Watch March 27; and again, April 18.

51. Fascinating

Have you been reading the Matthew entries? He made reference to legal proceedings already under way. Hmmmm

52. Well, to be honest, not much.

I tried to read them but they seem disjointed to me and I have a problem following the train of thought. But it is certainly interesting.

53. Hey PT, maybe Mary Matalin, she's one of the WASP mob but she has

a little girl and her husband James Carville to think about.

I don't believe she supports the Bush cabal but is caught.

54. I have often wondered about her.

Politics is such a knee jerk thing with me, that I couldn't even date my husband a second time unless I knew his politics. Thank goodness he was going to vote for Jimmy Carter, too, and he was just as worried, LOL.
It is very possible that she is helping the opposition.
If so, it will make a very interesting story.
