I'm worried that the Dems
are going to roll over on the Snoopgate issue. It just isn't as loud as I want to hear it.

Somebody reassure me, please?

If they don't seize the moment NOW then I despair.

1. I know how you feel; we've been disappointed so many times,
I don't trust my natural optimism. And the holidays upon us don't help. But ya gotta believe!

3. I think that something will come of this. And we still have Fitz out there
maybe he will have something juicy to dish up soon as well.

4. It's gaining strength! CNN said the "I" word today, Conyers has filed
3 resolutions...Investigate, censure Bush, Censure Cheney, Senators are discussing it, Boxer talked to constitutional attorneys about it and HE BROKE THE FREAKIN' LAW. It's all over the internet(s) too! Jack Cafferty asked his question of the day that pertained to Wiertappinggate! Don't despair! His ass is grass!

14. Whoa
I did NOT know the I word was said on TV. I waited yesterday, watching every channel and never heard it.

I'll just knit or something and wait, I guess. It's hard.

7. It's not like they could get anything going by tomorrow.

These things take time, plus the holiday is upon us. it will die down until after the first of the year.

I hope they are loud next November.

8. It's getting airtime on the MSM
That's a good thing. I'm sure the whitehouse is in full spin mode to control damage on this one. With a republican controlled congress, a censure is about as much as we will see out of this, if anything. Since it doesn't rise to the level of a blowjob, an "aw shit" is about all I expect!

9. I fear the same thing...
with ignoring the cocain use in the 1999 campaign, barely contesting the election, AWOL from the military, through the Downing Street Memo, it's just issue after issue that dies because a new issue comes up.

It's gotten to the point that they bring up bad press on different issues so that the previous scandal will go away.

16. I just mentioned that to my husband, ProSense! It's
so refreshing to see them fighting back for a change! Levin was just on Hardball and pretty much shut Andrea Mitchell down.

Tweety tolerance is low right now.
