11. This Should Be The First Salvo In Accountability |
|
Every march starts with a single step. This is a tactical move that is designed to define a debate that is sure to rage this fall...and to put people on record...Democrats and Repugnicans on their stands on the criminality and corruption of this regime and the Repugnican party.
There are plenty of things to censure and many ways it can be done. Senator Feingold has started to churn the waters...and framing an issue that Democrats can and should use in the elections this fall. His motion is strictly on the issue of illegal wiretapping and to put Repugnicans on record as to if they condone this activity or not. This could create a lot of problems for a Lincoln Chaffee or a Mike DeWine if they appear to be in favor of these violations of civil liberties that a majority of the people in their respective states don't agree with. It also tars these "independents" with all the corruption and slime of the entire party as it shows they really have no spines.
Governor Dean is marking works and taking measure. Time is on his side right now as the Repugnicans continue to drown in their own hypocrisy, scandals and swill. The game here is to force every Repugnican up for re-election this fall to justify their support for this regime, shine lights on their specific corporate/K-Street corruption and hold them responsible for the sad state this country is now facing. There's a silent rage out there...the trick for Gov. Dean is to find a way to channel it into 435 House races and 34 Senate races.
