The gig is up for these crooks, and that means we have to be strong.

It is becoming more apparent everyday, that a number of people in the Bush Administration and the Republican party, have participated in some type of criminal conspiracy.

Now admittedly, we want that because it would be good politically for our side. It also for that reason we are not fair judges of fact in this matter, but there is a growing group of people who aren't really interested in politics and they also see it taking shape.

We do not know at this time what the intended end of that conspiracy was, but it does look like something awful.

Right now the people involved in this criminal activity are probably very worried that we are catching wind of what they did or planned to do.

In the next few days, weeks and even months they will be making a large number of decisions that will affect the outcome of American history.

How far are they willing to go to maintain power and/or keep their crimes secret?

How many people were involved in the conspiracy?

Surely the last question's answer is the most important. If a large enough group was involved, this situation could get very ugly very quickly.

Honestly, I don't think many grassroots Republicans will go along with this, they just don't have any reason to so if they weren't involved in the activity.

I think even a large number of political appointees are probably in the dark about this, and that's evidenced by the reaction to this hubbub by former US Attorneys Griffin and Iglesias. Both are staunch Republicans. Griffin seems to be totally disgusted with the activities of the higher ups in the Administration. Iglesias, well I don't know about him, it's possible his reaction is a sort of vindictiveness against those he once thought were friends (Representative Wilson and Senator Domenici.)

We are going to win, and by we, I mean the American people, Republicans and Democrats alike.

This isn't about that old and tiresome political divide anymore, it's about our fundamental way of life, our sense of common decency and our devotion to justice.

Stay strong.

1. Fear and greed seem to be the only motivating factors.

Ashcroft's X-tian brigade are the wild card.

2. True, they are just plain nuts.

Wild card is an understatement.

9. what we have is a disorganized irresolute Democratic Party vs

a small group of psycho/sociopaths , all with the with the same disease,(the authoritarian/victim/abuse cycle) enabling each other and covering for each other and using their disease-caused ruthelessness/desperation/vengefulness to gain control over everyone else. Yes, being a "Republican" is (nowadays) not a philosophical choice, it's a disease.

what we need is an army of psychiatrists with stun guns.

4. I wonder if Barbara and George are calling their son.

What I mean by that is there is a limit to what these people can do. At some point it starts reflecting on all Republicans. I wonder if mom and dad are trying to reign in junior. Of course they have similar interests. I even wonder if James Baker isn't unhappy with what's going on. You know, at some point there is enough wealth. These people have lives to live.

I think they got in over their heads. Just like...I want to say 9/11. But I actually believe 9/11 was no accident. Still I doubt that starting war with Iran is in anyone's best interest. And like I was thinking the other day, if attacking Iran in order to lasso the oil in the ME was a goal, then they would have to have the interests of the American people in mind. They'd be doing it for us. For our use. Our oil. And I don't think that's what's on their minds. There are still contractors waiting with their money bags open. Waiting to fill with OUR tax dollars.

We'll see. I have unlimited patience. I can wait forever. After all, America has been a disaster for some of us since 1980.

6. thanks for this post, 'cause you're saying what I think too

this is about America and as Americans we must put a stop to this illegal activity

[originalpckelly]

7. Yep.

And we have to make it clear to these folks they aren't going to get away with it.

[DCKit]

8. But it IS clear what they're doing

Subversion of the Democratic process in the hopes of establishing Republican rule forever.

Beware the industrial-military complex.

[MissWaverly]

12. not only Republican rule but a religious state

tied to extremists, we would have absolutely no seperation between church and state at all.

10. Griffin is Rove's guy. He is as he said "the bullet in teh war against democrats".

I think you probably meant to name someone else. Maybe you meant Bud Cummins?

[originalpckelly]

13. YOWZA!!!!

:rofl:

My mind is out there sometimes!

That's a big mistake, I'm sorry! Yes, I did mean Bud Cummins.

11. Treason against the Constitution

nothing less. They cannot be allowed to get away this time. This has been tried before, without success and the perpetrators have hidden behind the flag and made excuses for their behavior. This time they engaged in a coup d'etat against the Constitution of the United States.
