The Democrats have hit the Tri-fecta
question is, can they use it to their advantage?
Libby----Walter Reed----US Attorneys
There is enough fodder to take down this administration.
My advice to them?
Hit hard-->hit often--->hit heavy.

Don't give them a chance to get off the ropes. If you do, you lose. Plain and simple.

2. I dont want to play nice
I want to be partisaned as hell and kick them while they are vulnerable until they bleed from their gums.
Attack, attack, attack. If it makes it easier, they'd do the same to us. Keep up the pressure dems.

3. I think Harry should prepare a non-binding resolution and have everyone disagree on it.
The news cycle passes and Bush's Neocons get the U.S. to invade Iran.

That would be about what to expect from these Democrats.

8. Anything you do today

I just wrote some very simple short notes reminding them of their duty.

Hell I might go out and get them ANOTHER copy of the US Constitution... and highlight apropriate sections

9. Write them anyway
the only reason we got the vote to impeach Nixon was the American people demanded it

the pukes had to decide, loyal to the Press or to my job?

And yes, put it IN THOSE TERMS

11. Excellent observation!
Howard Dean and Sen. Harry Reid have already publicly stated that Bush not pardon Libby. By doing so, they've put the Repubs on the defensive! Dean and Reid have now have framed this argument and it's now up to the Repubs to "explain" why Bush should or shouldn't do the pardon.

This is a golden opportunity! It's still a battle with the Bushistas and the media, but the Dems beat these two last November and can do it again!

18. What is utterly amazing
if Clinton had done these things, the RW hit squad would have literally FORCED him out of the WH.

23. If Clinton did a fraction of what the Bush junta has done
Rightwingers would have stormed the White House and beheaded him on pay-per-view.

14. There is so much shit going down, so much fires popping up, that
it's difficult to see the forest through the trees. I don't expect the dems to do anything sweeping like the impeachment proceedings. I think they will be scattered in their committees (thank God for the committees though), poking their sticks into a few dead bodies, not realizing they have to incinerate the source of the plague, which is the republican ideology and its executive officers.

16. We really don't actually have to impeach Bush (though that wouldbe fun)
We can now simply deal with these fillibustering and vetoing obstructionists by threatening impeachment if they get in our way. We can also say that Bush will be impeached if another indictment is made or if another suspision of foul play is raised.
