I'm beginning to suspect that the shit has hit the fan
Just listening to the bevy of bad news for bush in the last few weeks, and especially in the last few days, I'm beginning to almost feel as if maybe just possibly the shit has finally hit the fan for the neocons.

Am I out of line here?

1. No, but you're anticipating TWO more years of the same and ask yourself
What's Next ? How much lower can they sink ? Stay tuned.

5. I hear she does a great version of "Send Lawyers, Guns and Money"
"The shit has hit the fan."

Deepest apologies to the late Warren Zevon.

7. I Won't be CONFIDENT!!!!!
I won't be confident until we gotten Bush and the stench from him, his butt-ugly wife, and the stink from all the thugs OUT OF OUR WHITE HOUSE!!!!

And, may I remind everyone, BUSH MAY NOT LEAVE EVEN IF HE (or one of his little toadies) loses the election in 2008.

IT IS UP TO PEOPLE LIKE US TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY ALL LEAVE -- STINK AND ALL!!!!!!!

15. Well, right, of course.
That goes without saying. I was saying "confident" in the limited sense of taking back the Senate and the House. I won't really feel confidently confident until all those assholes are tried and convicted by an international criminal court somewhere.

29. INTERNATIONAL COURT???!!!
Why hold out hope for some international court somewhere to try and convict the thugs, assholes, and tyrants currently smelling up the White House, the State Department, and the Department of Defense???!!!!

Surely, WE THE PEOPLE ought to be able to try and convict the bastards.

WE ARE THE ONES who have been most wronged -- the thugs and assholes have done unspeakable things -- IN OUR NAMES!!!!!!

I WANT TO SIT ON THE JURY!! I WANT TO BE THERE WHEN OTHER AMERICANS SENTENCE THE ASSHOLES TO A LOOOOOOONG SENTENCE (WITH TORTURE).

AMERICANS ought to try the entire Bush cabal/regime of stinky, skanky, child molesters, thugs, and tyrants!!

JUSTICE WILL BE OURS!!!

THE PEOPLE UNITED CAN NEVER BE DEFEATED!!!!

THE END OF THE DARKNESS IS ALMOST HERE!!!!

8. Cafferty just listed all their lies and evils for the past six years
and then talked about Foley, the Pages and the fall out. He ended by saying that sometimes it's the little things that come back to bite you in the you know where. Cafferty was just brilliant.

11. If the Democrats in Congress get subpoena power
and can bring forth documents and witnesses in real investigations on ChimpCo's shenanigans in the last 6 years, you might see the entire sewer system hit the hurricane.

13. Bush has already started classifying docs
So the Dems won't have such easy access. He will not go down without a fight. It will be two years of squabbling back and forth over what is/is not classified, court hearings, etc.

But it must be done. Those who have committed acts against the United States must pay for those actions. And it must be done according to the Constitution, not the new Bush Voo-Doo laws.

Yet, they skate on.

If you're right, and they blow up in front of us, I'll buy you an ouzo, how 'bout that?!

OPA!

Seriously, it would make me very happy for you to be right. For your sake, and for the country!! :patriot:

30. 'fraid not. Look at the make-up of the FDD. Democrats all around
Edited on Tue Oct-03-06 08:22 PM by Tom Joad
http://rightweb.irc-online.org/profile/1475

"The Foundation for the Defense of Democracies (FDD), founded shortly after the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, is an organization purportedly devoted to supporting the war against terror and promoting democracy across the globe. It has become a prominent member of the web of neoconservative-aligned think tanks, a group that includes the American Enterprise Institute (AEI), the Hudson Institute, and Freedom House."

<snip>

A sign of the FDD's emergence as a major player in the think-tank world occurred on March 13, 2006, when President George W. Bush delivered a speech on the “Global War on Terrorism” at an FDD-sponsored event. Bush's selection of the FDD as a forum was regarded by many observers as a sign that the administration remained firmly under the thrall of neoconservative-inspired foreign policy, despite worsening problems in Iraq and elsewhere in the Middle East...
<snip>

The FDD's three board members are Steve Forbes, Jack Kemp, and Jeane Kirkpatrick. Its four “distinguished advisers” are Newt Gingrich, Sen. Joseph Lieberman (D-CT), Louis J. Freeh (former FBI director), and James Woolsey (former CIA director). FDD also has a Board of Advisers, whose members are: Gary Bauer, Donna Brazile (Gore's miscampaing manager), Rep. Eric Cantor (R-VA), Rep. Eliot Engel (D-NY), Rep. Mark Foley (R-FL), Frank Gaffney, Amb. Marc Ginsberg, Rep. J.D. Hayworth (R-AZ), Charles Jacobs, William Kristol, Charles Krauthammer, former Gov. Richard D. Lamm, Rep. Jim Marshall (D-GA), former Sen. Zell Miller, Richard Perle, and Sen. Charles Schumer (D-NY). (Schumer is very much part of the Democratic Party leadership, and will very much influence a President H. Clinton... Lieberman is Obama's mentor, according to Obama)

Look at the warlike positions of Dems regarding Iran. I don't doubt that the neocons could push through a war with Iran with the Dems in control of congress. Kerry will vote for it just like he did the war on Iraq.

32. They do keep F^^^CKING themselves
* today came out supporting hastert, I just don't see that as a very good move, its proven that hastert knew about the foley for awhile, that means * trusts and supports a guy who covered up a crime, the worst crime of all, a child predator, if the shit was just about to hit the fan, bush just rammed the shit right thru it.

My two cents, I have a hard time putting a capitol letters in front of any of their name's.

34. The moment I saw that Foley had resigned
I thought to myself - this is it - what we have been waiting for - for SO LONG - that was Friday around 4:30 and it has only gotten a million times worse since then...

I am cautiously optimistic that this is FINALLY the shit that has hit the fan that will put an end to this long nightmare.

Although as I posted earlier - it sadens me that it took a sex scandal to do it - and not all the other god awful things these freaks have done.
