It Really Is Time To Take Out The Crystal Ball

[ThomWV]

I don't want to sound overly optimistic but it seems impossible that Bush's Presidency can survive until 2008. He will either resign, which seems unlikely, or he will be removed from office. With daily disclosure of greater and greater misdeeds its just a matter of time.

Cheney will go too of course. Some reason or another, health or legality will catch up to him but when Bush is gone so is Cheney. Rumsfeld, Condi, Gonzolass, that's all bathwater with the baby.

There will be a Democratic Congress in '06. It would be almost impossible for the Democrats not to capitalize on this mess. Inept as we are we will be back.

So where will that put us in the spring of '07? Some Republican will be president, but he will be powerless. Like Gerald Ford whoever it is will be a placeholder, no more and no less. We'll have the same free reign in the House that Newt had with his old Contract with America.

How will we use this upcoming opportunity? Will we use it to the betterment of the country or will we blow it? What's your crystal ball say?
