I don't think we've even picked the low hanging fruit
From all the hearings, attorney firings, wire taps. Zilch, nada, some of the more odius people cunningham, wilkes etc they're in prison, but correct me if I'm wrong there are people walking around free that should be sitting in prison now. I don't care if they are underling nothings you've got to start somewhere, what the hell are we waiting on? I'm ready to throw a match in the damn powder room.

1. That's right.
When a bank is robbed, the getaway car driver is still prosecuted, even though they never entered the bank or wielded a weapon.

5. So what is it going to take?
It looks more and more like we need to turn a firehose on DC to clean the corruption out, frustration is going to lead to aggression eventually.

6. Stop re-electing those Democrats who are obstructing things?
Even if they otherwise seem like long-tenured good-ole
boys and girls?

8. I'm for that. But you have to put someone up in the state primary. Too late for that this time. n/t

4. Duncan Hunter.
for one. I can not imagine what the Sibel Edmonds revelations would mean for the fruit further up the tree. We, or I, have to do a better job of communicating with those that do not have the time, nor know where to look the knowledge needed to force 'political will' upon our representatives. The last few weeks have opened my eyes, to how hard it is to maintain objectivity and relegate my time to the cause and effects that have produced my reality. Instead I have been spreading the disease of arrogant ignorance that is so prevalent in our society.

9. If it's not too late already
We're going to have to build a grassroots movement like the religious crazies did. I know this cycle is out of the question, but we have to be ready for 2010.
