Isn't this the same Roberts who promised and never delivered the Phase II report on 9/11? How long will the American people allow the foxes the tend the chicken koop? Where is the media on all of this?
Isn't it amazing that the Vice President shoots a guy in the face and then he turns around and blasts the New York Times while he issues a statement to the media about his "worst day"? These dudes never seem to miss an opportunity to stick to any media outlet or concerned citizen who attempts to dig up some portion of the truth and hold them accountable.
Notice how quickly Bushco talking heads run to their hand-picked softball throwers in the faux news empire whenever a hint of scandal touches them. Their methods are so transparent they would be laughable if the results were not so tragic for the country. This regime has a great track record of piling up debts and death.

"Jeff Lacey came back from Iraq
and hung himself in his parents basement with a garden hose
the night before he died he spent forty five minutes on his fathers lap
rocking like a baby
rocking like daddy save me!
and don’t think for a minute he too isn’t collateral damage
in the mansions of Washington
they are watching them burn and hoarding the water
no senators sons are being sent out to slaughter
no president’s daughters are licking ashes from their lips
or dreaming up ropes to wrap around their necks
in case they ever make it home alive
our eyes are closed america
there are souls in the boots of the soldiers america
fuck your yellow ribbon
you want to support our troops
bring them home
and hold them tight when they get here"

feline from Missouri poignantly said (#52 last thread):
"...I've been refusing to accept the fact that most members of Congress are not going to stand up for the People and the Constitution, or for themselves. I've been stuck here for awhile, because accepting that fact is very painful - I'm literally grief-stricken. But, I have to face the facts, or there's no moving forward. The American body politic is very, very sick..."
Amen.

Congressman Conyers,
Please make other members of Congress aware of this following story. It is yet another example of how this administration and its cover-up appointees have not made this country safer in the post 9/11 world.
DOE - "SHOOT THE SECURITY WHISTLEBLOWER"
This "business as usual" example comes from a press release from the Government Accountability Project (GAP):
February 13, 2006
Washington, D.C. – GAP client Richard Levernier’s four-year odyssey with the U.S. Office of Special Counsel (OSC) reached a bitter-sweet conclusion earlier this month. The OSC quietly vindicated his concerns about terrorist vulnerability at Department of Energy (DOE) nuclear weapons facilities – disclosures that cost Levernier his 23-year career as a nuclear security professional. DOE formally stripped his security clearance for unclassified whistleblowing, and transferred him to a windowless basement office to coordinate DOE’s foreign travel program.
Levernier will testify tomorrow, February 14, at a hearing of the House Government Reform Subcommittee on National Security, Emerging Threats, and International Relations. Chairman Christopher Shays (R-CT) has called the hearing to address the lack of legal protections for national security whistleblowers.
After reviewing a DOE report on Levernier’s charges that denied any ongoing weaknesses against terrorist threats, Special Counsel Scott Bloch commented that Levernier’s continuing evidence "cast doubt" on DOE’s conclusions "and the confidence with which DOE asserts its ability to protect the nuclear assets entrusted to its care." Inexplicably, however, Bloch declined to determine whether the report passed or flunked statutory requirements for "reasonable" and statutory completeness – a judgment call he is required to make by the Whistleblower Protection Act.
The Special Counsel also dropped the longstanding OSC procedure when a report fails to meet these requirements – ordering the agency to resume efforts until there is a good faith resolution of the whistleblower’s charges. Although he found DOE’s post 9/11 efforts "particularly troubling," Bloch simply asked DOE to act further, without orders to finish the job.
Levernier commented that the Special Counsel’s rhetorical vindication "was strong, but almost certainly DOE will ignore it without significant follow through from the President and Congress."
"Bloch does not have the legal option to wash his hands of making the call whether DOE’s report passed statutory muster," added GAP Legal Director Tom Devine, Levernier’s attorney. "He has made our country less safe by letting DOE off the hook with a report that resolves absolutely nothing about nuclear weapons vulnerability."
Prior to 9/11, Levernier was DOE’s top quality assurance expert for safeguards and security. His clearance was officially stripped for unclassified whistleblowing disclosures protesting a systematic breakdown in the agency’s ability to defend nuclear facilities from terrorist attack, threat, and sabotage. Among his concerns after 9/11, Levernier dissented against plans to fight terrorists attacking nuclear facilities that are limited to catching them on the way out, with no contingency for suicide squads not planning to leave the facility they came to blow up.
In 2002, Levernier went the next step, filing a formal whistleblowing disclosure to the OSC, charging mismanagement and abuse of authority that was perpetuating a substantial and specific danger to public health or safety. Then-Special Counsel Elaine Kaplan found a "substantial likelihood" that he was right, ordering Energy Secretary Spencer Abraham to investigate and report back findings and solutions for any confirmed problems.
Kaplan separately determined that the retaliatory actions taken by DOE were illegal under the Whistleblower Protection Act (WPA). However, OSC had no jurisdiction to challenge DOE’s illegal suspension of Levernier’s security clearance, which was never reinstated.
Sec. Abraham signed a May 2003 DOE report which officially insisted that all security problems had been fixed, that Levernier’s information was dated, and that he was ignorant of reforms due to his lack of access to classified information.
Since this public denial, at least a dozen independent and internal DOE security reviews have reached the opposite conclusion about the quality of security at nuclear weapons facilities. These reports corroborated the specific issues Levernier identified, in some cases word for word, including a post-9/11 failure to modify the threat scenarios DOE prepares for.
Despite these findings and recommendations, Bloch failed to require any follow-up action from DOE, stating in a letter to President Bush and two congressional oversight committees that he was "unable to determine whether [DOE’s] findings appear reasonable."
GAP’s Adam Miles, caseworker for Levernier, commented, "The OSC missed an opportunity to have a significant positive impact strengthening homeland security through a strategy that is better than threatening constitutional rights: End bureaucratic negligence and get prepared."
Levernier offered to meet personally with Bloch in December to brief him on his concerns of continued DOE negligence on security at nuclear weapons facilities. Bloch refused, although he confirmed "there is more work to be done to safeguard the nuclear facilities of this great country. Your tireless efforts to this end have been laudatory."
Devine added, "Mr. Levernier’s not tired, but his efforts are over, because DOE exiled him for blowing the whistle. Like all whistleblowers, he had no legal rights against security clearance harassment. Hopefully Mr. Shays’ hearings will help close this loophole, so whistleblowers can defend themselves when they try to defend the public."

Condi Rice might be nominated as veep, and that scares me.

Continuation of #8
I got a little trigger-happy finger there. Must be all that talk of Cheney!
Picking up where I left off...
Off topic, but relevant to our National Security, with regard to the secret government committee that has decided to turn management of 6 of the nation's ports - New York, New Jersey, Philadelphia, Miami, Baltimore and New Orleans - over to Dubai Ports World, this very interesting highlight from Frank Gafney of Renew America's website.
Mr. Gafney notes that a former senior official of the UAE company, David Sanborn, was recently named the new administrator of the Transportation Department's Maritime Administration. Prior to that, he had been DP World's director of operations for Europe and Latin America.

I'm glad to see my fellow bloggers sharing so much tonight.
Tahoe - Wow. I finally watched and listened to No Bravery. This should be broadcast far and wide. I wonder if an organization could finance this as a public service announcement? The MSM might not go for it, but worth a shot. I've posted it on a local music website with a wide audience in my state. I hope it at least gains visibility on the internet.
I'm going to check out some of the other links posted here, as well.
A special "thank you" to The Forest for the "amen"; and to JC for giving my voice a Home.
I've written the Secretary of State Robin Carnahan to see if some of my questions will be answered there, since my State Attorney General's employees don't seem to know what to do with my questions. I'm going to keep asking, wherever my questions take me. I'm not going to shut up.

I would much rather see Mr. Rumsfeld fired than Mr. Cheney. Rumsfeld has cultivated a culture within the government of 'get it done no matter the rules'. Cheney is incompetent. Rumsfeld is evil.
Comment #13: Ionized said on 2/17/06 @ 6:18am ET...
Look, ALL of them need to go.. The administration is being run by the members of PNAC among others. Most of the major events that have happened and are currently happening were being planned in the 90s. The only thing that will change the current course is a full leak of the truth about minimally these 3 things: Diebold's voting machines and the rigged elections, 9/11, faked intelligence leading to Iraq. If the majority of Americans could see beyond their microscopic world-views and wake up to how 9/11 really happened, that alone might be enough to initiate massive change among the populace. Not that we want anarchy... However it is evident that the only way to change out the people in the administration with fresh people who are not tied to PNAC and the nwo, is to take the government into our own hands. How idealist this idea is; too bad it could never happen in this country, for the neocons are far too entrenched.
The fact is that nearly anything that comes out of the white house these days is simple propaganda and lies. It literally makes me feel sick anytime I hear them spout about terrorism because indeed THEY are the terrorists! America is now a society of fear and mass-delusion, blind to the truth, and forever bound to a life of subjugation to the neocons who will stop at nothing to remain in their arbitrary and fake power.
That being said, Im off to work so that my taxes can help pay for the 4.5 billion this fake war on fake terrorists is costing us monthly.
Comment #14: wallen said on 2/17/06 @ 8:49am ET...
Congressman Conyers:
It is astounding that republican politicians act more like defense counsel for the Bush administration than for protectors of the Constitution or the American people.
And yet with weak arguments and obfuscation, they seem to always wiggle out of their main duty, and that is to act as a check and balance to other branches of government.
"R" not longer stands for republican, it stands for "rubber stamp", i.e., the "rubber-stamp" party.
There is a Rovian stink to Senator Roberts' pulling the rug out from under a hearing on the NSA spying program, and if threats were made, as has been alleged, to pull administration financial support from GOP senate re-election campaigns, is that not a form of bribery, coersion, in essence, a crime?
Now I hear that we are to outsource our port security to the United Arab Emirates.
Who's in charge? What the republicans are doing is certainly not in the best interest of America.
It is time to point out how each senators' and House representative's vote directly affects his or her constituents. Let them run on thier record, and continue to point out thier numerous failures. Democratic candidates must not settle for mediocrity or failing the American people. Forget the "we can do better", instead say "we WILL do better, because it would be impossible to do any worse".
Thank you for your leadership,
wallen

Heard this quote on CSI and it fit so perfectly for the Bush Administration that it might help to share it here:
"Ambition is the last refuge of failure" - Oscar Wilde
These ambitious men and women in the Bush Administration continue to fail upwards and are supported in their efforts by the likes of Roberts, Sensenbrenner and Frist, not to mention powerful, wealthy individuals who bear the name "neo-con"...very much in the same vein that the Nazis were supported by rich industrialists and Hitler was supported by Goehring, Hess and Himmler.
Yeh, I know, another Hitler reference...but if the storm trooper boot fits, BushCos gotta wear it.

Although I agree with you, that's an unprovable statement. I've seen the evidence and, although it convinces me enough to assume its truth, the law has a higher standard of evidence than what we have to support it. Sorry, but I'm calling it as I see it - even if that seems to let them off the hook at times.
I'm making my email addy active on this post. Please use it to send me your email addy, Mr. Ionized (or Mrs, or Ms.). I would like to send you some info privately.

Comment #18: Pissed Off American said on 2/17/06 @ 11:52am ET...
This has been planned way prior to the nineties. If you recall, it was Cheney that convinced Ford to vetoe the FOIA. Of course, the veto was overridden. Also, you must consider how many of these players were part and parcel of the Iran/Contra debacle. These people have been planning, behind closed doors, for a LONG time. And they have managed, obviously, to place compatriots within the so called "opposition party". Many of you have belittled me for expressing that opinion. But can you fail to see the irony?? On one hand you freely accept and admit that this administration was instrumental in ALLOWING 9/11 to occur, was instrumental in LYING this nation into war, was instrumental in STEALING two presidential elections, etc,...yet you refuse to admit that these same people may have had the foresight to stock the "opposition party", over the years, with people willing to sabotage and undermine any true "opposition".
Well, the evidence is right before your eyes. All you need do is ponder the actions of Kerry during his campaign, or the actions of those such as Reid or Biden since.
The PNAC and its members goals is PART of the plan, but was not the BEGINNING of the plan.
Regardless, I see no hope of successful opposition as long as people like Conyers are marginalized and ignored by their so called "colleagues". On blogs such as Clemons' Washington note, you cannot even get the progressive insiders to even MENTION Conyers', much less debate his actions and positions. And trying to engage anyone in a debate about the state of our electoral system and the efforts of Bev Harris is nye on an impossibility.
In Rusty's words, "political expediency" seems to dictate discourse, while the truth is ignored and minimized. I was once told here that Reid was just biding his time, waiting for a politically expedient opening to join John Conyers in his efforts. Who here now believes that kind of unrealistically optimistic bullshit? Do you people, in light of the Dem leadership's actions these past few months seriously entertain the notion that they have the ability to capitalize on the CRIMES of this administration and lead us to victory in the midterms???? Balderdash.
This is going to get interesting. Sooner or later, the citizenry is going to wake up in the realization that they no longer live in a democracy, and that the two party system has been perverted into a vehicle of division, designed to negate the possibility of a unified concensus formed by the common needs and desires of the citizenry. We are MEANT to be squabbling along party lines while the true powers trudge forward with global designs that long ago abandoned the ideals and concepts of what we purport our nation to be.

Rep. Conyers, from above:
I'm glad to see that a court is forcing DOJ to respond to FOIA requests on this scandal.
Interesting that even a Congressman has to use wording like this.
As an ordinary American citizen I ask: why do we have to force our own government to obey its own laws?
There was lots of blather that the message sent by Mr. Clinton's morally challenged episode would negatively impact our youth.
Using that same argument, what do the current administration's tactics teach our children?
Greed is the prime directive.
Lying about anything is ok.
Truth is unnecessary.
Accountability is non-existent.
Torture is always justified to have your way.
Stripping your citizens of their dignity in order to get onto an airplane is good and protects the country.
Giving your country's points of entry away to the enemy is good.
Raping the environment for profit is good.
and on and on and on.

Comment #28: Frosted Flake said on 2/17/06 @ 3:52pm ET...
Nice find Alma, comment #23.
A worthwhile read for all concerned. Here is the heart of the document, from page 15.
"Whether by design or otherwise, compliance with Libby’s discovery demands for extraneous materials would collide directly with the need to protect sensitive national security information and information protected by presidential communications and deliberative process privileges. It is respectfully submitted that in addressing these discovery requests, this Court be mindful that the incentive for defendants facing trial to engage in “greymail” to seek to derail a trial is so well recognized that Congress passed the Classified Information Procedures Act statute (“CIPA”) to deal with it."
To summarize ; Fitzgerald is saying IN COURT, "Hey! I ain't talking about prosecuting this guy over any of this B.S. I am here to prosecute the charges this defendant is facing. If the defendant wants to address the charges, that'ed be good. If he would rather screw around, that's his business, he can do that, and it wont stop him being convicted."
Now Imagine the differance, if Mr. Fitzgerald were to attempt the same thing in Congress. This is why we have Courts. And why I think we should take our case there. In Court facts are facts, Laws are Laws, and argument is either relevant or not. Sound and fury? You check it at the door.
I appreciate this forum.

Hi Ohio
Your take on that is much like mine. The headline seems to have been meant for a differant story.
I agree, run the republicans out. But that sort of thing must be done in the way Christ ran the moneychangers out of the temple. With obvious confidence in being right. This "leave it to beaver" stuff we keep hearing (Gee, Wally...) Just doesn't make it. It's the battle cry of the undecided, the confused, the tentative. It is not very inspiring. It gives the impression of doubt. And from over here it looks to be coming from right of center, and smacks of envy of the right wing.
Just what does it take to get a new set of Democratic leaders? The ones we got now are DINOs. They are defining a route to irrelevance. They should be allowed to travel that road by themselves. That there is signifgant strenght to be had for the asking from the far left is one of those self evident truths. all you gotta do is represent thier interests. (Electric Drag Racing, anyone?) Can't do that with republican envy dripping down your faces like it seems to be.
Gotta go outside and swear.

Ron #30 Interesting thought.
How many Dems would go with Gore if he ran Green? Israel has a new party, and it's doing fine.
Bottom line : If given a choice between dumb and dumber, I gotta say no. If my freedom is not what you are fighting for, you can't have my vote. Represent me, and you will get my vote. It's that simple. And this is WHY we HAVE elections. So that what I want matters in D.C.

Well I just got home from another day of work so that my taxes can be spent on things I would never consider appropriate.
#18 POA: I agree and understand that some form of what is happening has been in the works since prior to the 90s. By stating an approximate 90s, I simply wanted to start small because as we have seen previously, the big picture is far too much for some people to take in. You and I think along very similar lines.
#16, I will consider doing so. As far as standards of evidence are concerned, as a physicist I set a very high standard for facts and evidence which could lead to a proper understanding of the truth. I am highly trained in the scientific methods of laboratory studies, in which physical evidence is gathered for proper construction of theory. I could go on about my qualifications for stating such claims about PNAC, but this is not about me. While PNAC certainly is not the only organization running the show, their ideology plays a large part in the current administration, and indeed several members of PNAC are now part of the administration. This is fact. I see nothing which leads to any other conclusion. Yes, nothing can be 'proven' socially, even in the world of mathematics the idea of 'proof' lay in unsolid ground. Courts no longer matter, they have shown themselves ineffective long ago, and indeed our supreme court is most obviously infiltrated.

Yes - Cheney first. As someone said in today's Nation, "You don't really want Darth Vader Cheney in the White House!" Or. as I have often said, "If you get rid of Cheney, Bu$h would have to be President!" Then he'd either appoint someone we REALLY don't want as President, (Ashcroft or Rumsfeld, anyone?) and then resign, really sticking it to us. Actually, it's a matched pair. You have to get rid of both of them at the same time. Then we'd have "President" Hastert, GAWDELPUS, but the confusion inherent in getting that clown into the oval office, and the fact that he needs approach radar and three ground fixes to find his rear end with both hands on a lucky day might protect us from some of the worst excesses of the Rove - DeLay - Abramoff gang. Might, that is - I hold no brief for Denny Hastert, but hell, he couldn't be any worse than what we've got, could he?

Time to list all Congressional Members and Senators who are Co-Conspirators with the Neo-cons and are "breaching" their fiduciary responsiblities to their constituents by not upholding their Constitutional Responsibilites and Duties! ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!
All Members found as conspirators with the Administrations should be immediately incarcerated,prospecuted, and sententenced for TREASON!
If anyone is willing to take on the Congressional Members/Senators from his or her respective State, I will begin with my state of Texas!

"Your false portrayal of me as someone who is advocating political expediency is just another sickening example of your compulsion to slander everyone who disagrees with you."
Are you denying you used the excuse of "political expediency" to rationalize Reid's lack of support for Conyers' efforts??? I hope not, because I hate to have to wade through old posts just to rub your face in another one of your falsehoods.

Dear Congressman Conyers,
Since you are an attorney, is it possible to file complaints with the ABA against any Congressional Member/and or Senator who has "flagrantly violated" his or her oath of office or has clearly co-conspired against the U.S. Constitution and "breached" his or her office of duty to the Constituents of the U.S.
I firmly believe in hitting these Co-Conspirators of Treason anywhere it will "hit them in the eye" and going for the "juggler' and have them disbarred ASAP!

I know a number of you may or may not like Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi; however, her e-letter I just received "validates" my prior posting regarding "Breach" of Congressional Members Constitutional Duties and Responsiblities.
See the following:
Got Constitution?
Once again, Republican leaders have burned the book on how our laws are made. Every elementary student knows that the exact same bill must pass the House and the Senate first before it can be signed into law by the President. But on February 8th, the President signed a bill that did not pass the House.
On February 1st, the House of Representatives passed the Budget Reconciliation Spending Cuts Conference Report by a two-vote margin, with every Democrat voting against it. Yet, when the President signed the bill into law, he signed a different version of the bill than the one passed by the House. This bill has been voted on five times, passing by very narrow margins each time, with the Republican leadership twisting arms to ensure passage. The bill signed by the President had been altered in a way that cost the Medicare program $2 billion dollars. The Republican leadership knew about the error two weeks in advance, but deliberately chose to withhold that information, instead allowing the House to vote on an incorrect version of this legislation. Because Republican leaders chose to ignore House rules, precedents, and even the Constitution itself, Leader Pelosi introduced a privileged resolution demanding an immediate investigation into the abuse of power surrounding the inaccuracies in the process and enrollment of the Budget Reconciliation legislation. The motion failed along party lines.
This is the latest example of the ongoing pattern of abuse of power by the majority party. The Republican leadership has inserted provisions without debate or notification in the dead of night, withheld crucial information for the sole purpose of winning passage of extremely controversial bills, and repeatedly thwarted the normal legislative process by cutting corners and rushing through legislation with major errors, forcing Members to vote on controversial legislation without thorough time for review. This behavior is undemocratic, un-American, and must be stopped.
Leader Pelosi on the invalid budget bill.
We recommend the Republican leadership listens to this.
These people have no "Moral Consciousness!"

Iraq: Progress, Setbacks and Excuses
In a speech to the Council of Foreign Relations, Mr Rumsfeld said some of the US' most critical battles were now in the "newsrooms".
"Our enemies have skilfully adapted to fighting wars in today's media age, but... our country has not," he said.
Mr Rumsfeld said al-Qaeda and other Islamic extremists were bombarding Muslims with negative images of the West, which had poisoned the public view of the US.
The US must fight back by operating a more effective, 24-hour propaganda machine, or risk a "dangerous deficiency," he said.
Translation: We have no plan and our major screwups are making us look bad. Therefore, we need more money and control of the media to spew propaganda 24/7.
Meanwhile back at the swamp, Bush is claiming steady progress in the war on terror despite setbacks in Iraq.
Bush math: 2+2-4= 3 & 1/2......Something's not adding up.

Bring Back Spiro Agnew - Indict Cheney
Spiro Agnew was just a relatively small-time stupid crook who resigned in disgrace. Compared to Cheney, he looks good.
After all, Agnew (I want to speak well of the dead) was not a leaker.
Richard Cheney is far worse. The money he has made, through his thirty years in and out of the government, his energy investments and other sources probably sets a record.
Compared to him, Agnew was a piker.
But there is a more important question. Why is there not now a separate Grand Jury investigation of Cheney's release of false classified information to get us into the Iraq war and to justify Abu Ghraib, wrongful detentions and antiterror attacks, the extent of which we do not know and probably will never know. This investigation of Cheney is not within the scope of federal prosecutor Pat Fitzgerald investigating Plamegate.
The New York Times, we know, is under investigation for the NSA leak that caused no damage. Cheney's did cause damage.
It's hard to imagine a more serious leak than Cheney's. The last "leaker," Daniel Ellsberg, in 1971, was prosecuted to the hilt for releasing the classified information in the Pentagon Papers. He faced multiple life sentences for releasing information about how we got into the Vietnam War and the failure of our foreign policy.
It was history -- old stuff -- it was not used to get us into a war with an extraordinary cost in men, Iraqi women, men and children, money, as well as the loss of substantial civil liberties in this country. It was not used to justify a failed plan to kill people and to spread democracy.
Ellsberg released it openly. He defended the reason for its release. His unquestioned purpose was to avoid future wars. Ellsberg said it will save lives, not lose them. He said the First Amendment allowed him to publish it. Ellsberg stood ready to face severe criminal punishment and he did.
Cheney released it surreptitiously. He takes no responsibility for it. Not noted for his defense of constitutional rights, he utilizes the First Amendment's journalistic privilege, the same First Amendment rights he denies to millions of others.
His false information had awful results.
And this administration does nothing, nothing.
And the Democrats say nothing, nothing.

Tahoe's computer is probably not the originator of the virus. Spoofing the header to make it seem like it came from someone else is a common way for these viruses to obfuscate the originating computer and makes it harder to track. Anyone who has ever had Tahoe's email addy in their contact list could be the one sending the emails.
It's also possible that someone is harvesting email addys from this blog. The only way to prevent that is to spoof your email addy in a way that any human would know how to fix it - but a computer would have a hard time. For instance: any human would find it very simple to turn Squirrel@tree.nut into Squirrel@tree.net to get a working addy. But most harvesting programs would be foiled by this simple procedure.
A way to prove if this blog has been harvested is to set up a honey pot. Setting up a new email addy and not publishing it to anyone except for here. Thus, any spam or viruses that come to it must have gotten it from here. In order to prevent possible mistatkes, I would use an email name that is not intuitive whatsoever. Such as h4i842bxpt43@yahoo.com or some such randomized name.
My solution is to not publish my email addy, but when I do, it's a junk email addy that I will only use on such occasions. When someone responds, I give them a more secure addy.
And I never open attachments to that addy no matter what. If it's important, they will re-send the attachment to my secure addy.
Which reminds me. Ionized, is your lack of response to Comment #16 your response? If so, no problem.
Comment #49: Ohiodem1 said on 2/18/06 @ 12:18pm ET...
It has been mentioned above and elsewhere that if Cheney (not if, but when) VP Cheney is removed by impeachment and conviction, the 25th Amendment requires that the president appoint a new VP, and that the appointment be confirmed by both houses of Congress.
It has been suggested that the list of potential replacements include, but is not limited to C. Rice, J. Ashcroft, D. Rumsfeld and others.
Given that the congress has Republican majorities in both houses, and that the Republican Majority in the House of Representaives is slightly larger than the Republican Majority in the Senate, it appears likely that a filibuster of an egregious candidate must be a possiblity if a new VP such a candidate is proposed.
Alternatively, the takeover of one or both houses of congress by Democrats will significantly increase the probability that a patently unqualified synchopant will not be proposed, or if such a candidate is proposed, he or she will not be confirmed.
If we, as a party are willing to run an aggressive campaign, spotlight the unbelivably incompetent and corrupt behavior of the Republican political majority, then I am in favor of waiting to initiate impeachment actions until after the new Congress is seated, and then it can be placed at the top of the agenda, since the Stonewall Congress will not look into unconstitutional, illegal, incompetent, and corrupt behavior of themselves and their president whom they are a rubber stamp for.
Recent actions in Ohio, where I live, have called into question both the competence and the will to win of the Ohio Democratic Party, and certain members of it. First the drumming out of Hackett and his nationwide support. Second the elevation of a questionable Ohio Chairman. Third is a question of gross incompetence of a state senator's campaign to find enough valid signatures necessary to place himself on the primary ballot in the race to replace Rep.Strickland, who is runnig against Mike DeWine for Senate. The number of valid signatures to place the candidate on the primary ballot is 50. No 5000, but 50! The campaign manager, who happens to be the son of the candidate, submitted 96 signatures from a part of the state known for low voter turnout, and they needed 50 valid signatures. Any person can go to the county board of elections, and get for no charge, a list of registered voters in any part of any county. The list contains the name, address and polticial affiliation of each currently registered voter in said voting district, these are usually obtained at the precinct level. How tough would it be to get a list, knock on 500 doors and obtain signatures of 50 voters, with a large safety margin of known to be registered voters in the county where the ballot clearance is required?
Where was the state and national party in providing minimal assistance to a candidate who has an excellent chance of being elected in a district that is reliably Democratic? Do our so-called leadership really want to win, or do they just want to feed at the trough? I think this is a legtitmate question.
Here is an article, read it and weep:

Daniel Ellsberg
"In one of Nixon's actions against Ellsberg, G. Gordon Liddy and E. Howard Hunt broke into Ellsberg's psychiatrist's office in September 1971, hoping to find information they could use to discredit him. The revelation of the break-in became part of the Watergate scandal. On May 3, 1972, the White House secretly flew a dozen Cuban CIA "assets" to Washington DC with orders to "totally incapacitate" Ellsberg. (They backed out because the crowd was too large.) Because of the gross governmental misconduct, all charges against Ellsberg were eventually dropped. The Judge who presided over the trial, William M. Byrne died on January 12, 2006."
The GOP tactics have not changed since 1971.
1. Discredit the whistleblower.
2. Try to hide the truth.
3. Ignore the truth.
3. Threaten the source.
4. Eliminate the source. (If necessary)

Harry Reid's latest press release at Rawstory
“In his latest appearance before handpicked supporters, the president today called on the American people to just trust him with our nation’s security. Trust him on Iraq. Trust him on domestic spying. And trust him on preparing and protecting America for terrorist attacks and natural disasters. Unfortunately, more than five years of incompetence have failed to protect the American people and have eroded the president’s credibility. We need more than tough talk and rhetoric. We need real leadership that will make 2006 a year of significant transition in Iraq, will finally take the necessary actions to protect Americans from terrorism here at home, and will speak honestly about the challenges we face."

Some Republican congresscritters might like to resist the worst of the Bu$hian offen$ive$, but when push comes to shove, and arms get twisted, the SOLE Republican congressman with any guts is Ron Paul. When Hastert needs a vote, he gets that vote. It used to be DeLay, but he's been shoved out of the way - does anyone think that Boehner is one iota better? Now that Diebold machines are being certified all over the country (California, even!) Rove's intention to steal the vote Nationwide for the next forty years is set in concrete. If we KNOW the vote will be hacked, what is to prevent the Democrats from hacking back? So - it comes down to "The most dishonest party will win in November." So it's going to be another Rethuglican Congre$$. I will, as usual, vote Democratic - but I cannot guarantee that it will be counted that way - - -

Only 25% of Americans Approve of Current Congress
February 18, 2006
(Angus Reid Global Scan) – Few adults in the United States are satisfied with the performance of the House of Representatives and the Senate, according to a poll by Harris Interactive. Only 25 per cent of respondents have a positive opinion of the current Congress, unchanged since January.
In the November 2004 congressional ballot, the Republican Party elected 232 lawmakers to the House of Representatives, while the Democratic Party secured 202 seats. The Republicans also have a majority in the Senate, with 55 members in the 100-seat upper house.

February Benchmarks Are In
Bush Approval Numbers by State. Only 9 out of 50 states have a positive job approval rating for 18% of the states. Alaska is split even at 49/49. The remaining 40 out of 50 states have a negative job approval rating for 80% of the states.
Some of the more notable statistics are that only 6 states give Bush a job approval rating over 50% for only 12% of the states where Bush's job approval rating has a clear majority. The most notable of all: the Ohio polls. In a state that Bush "carried" (NOT) in 2004, the job approval rating is 37% to 60% for a negative 23% difference!
Keep sending them emails out daily. There are still eight and a half months of opportunity to point out Bu$h&Co's incompetence.

You are a good man and we all love you for what you are trying to do for America. It is time that you and any other like minded congress people and senators get up and do something about all this insanity now. Look at the latest deception by Cheney regading the cover up of this shooting incident. He was drunk and shot someone. Is that not a crime any more, because if it's not, then there are a lot of people that need to be winged out there.
Either way, we are in for some hard times if these crazy people are not stopped!
You must act before they nuke Iran for some lame excuse. Everyone knows Iran is ten years away from having any nukes themselves. This is all about the Petro-dollar and dieing for the privatly owned Federal Reserve. End the Rothschild domination of our money system now.
If you have not read William Coopers "Behold a Pale Horse" yet, then you must read it ASAP to understand what this madness is all about. Then please, share it with all the rest of your colleagues.

NEWS FLASH!!!!!
1-17-06
The ever-growing reputable and well known info-warring hound Alex Jones who's fast becoming Americas #1 leading edge source for world news proves that Dick Cheney lied regarding the shooting of his cohort!
The American Aquarian hero is fast proving his light is absolute truth.
After performing a peoples test in an all-star expert team effort to show the forensics and ballistic reports of what shooting the same exact weapon Cheny was shooting in the similar circumstances; Alex Jones and his team proves beyond a shadow of a doubt that Cheney lied about the distance in which he more than probably purposely shot his quarry victim.
And to bring sharp notice of this story, it was taken down off the infowars.com web site by Pentagon hackers during the night in an attempt to cover up this important breaking story. The main stream press is trying desperately to ignore this important breaking news. It is once again proving its complicity by the cover up of this lie! The main stream press is now proving that Cheny, and more obviously Bush are beyond the Law as they print the cover-up lies and dis-information. What these two criminals are saying to the American people is they are well beyond the law and that nothing can touch them in the face of millions of documented crimes they have committed; this one big lie being the latest.

People wake up! We have succumbed to a dictatorship and you don't even realize this yet. How can it be that the Kennedy County Sheriff's Dept. in south Texas completely covered up any evidence of crime, and probably wrote false reports exonerating the liar Cheney? How can these 'paid to investigate' public officials be so stupid and not perform this same ballistics test themselves? Why is it that all the millions spent on Law enforcement can't even perform this simple test? And how about the milti-million dollar Law enforcement agencies like the FBI, State Police, and all the other Law enforcement agencies that all the billions are wasted on? Can't a single one even do this same test to prove this lie also?
Imagine that this crime was committed in a state that once boasted of its fine Texas Rangers. Were these the supermen that Texas children looked up to once? No more will the stories of the brave Texas Rangers be told to our children for these once proud Law enforcement personnel have also been co-opted and can't even find a hole in the ground because the corruption and lies have poisoned this institution also. It's sad when now these once proud heroes are put to pasture in shame.
How can it be that one man with his small team of experts can go out and in a matter of hours, and with very little overhead expenses come out with the truth so cheaply, and so fast? How come all the kings law enforcement agencies can't do this same simple test? If it had been any One of us, we would still be in Jail and there would be serious investigations by the district attorneys office to show cause for prosecution. With this evidence IN HAND they would have cause to show a possible crime was committed. Ask any lawyer. Let's remember that there was alcohol involved and in most states these days, increases the severity of this crime. More importantly, because of the lapse in time to sober the criminal up, there is a real justified cause to believe he was given this sobering time so as to not be so blatant when reporting to the local, and obviously paid off law enforcement.
This is reported to be the Kennedy County Sheriff's Department.
The ballistics prove there is a cover up and even though his victim crony will cow-tow any story cheney wants him too, watch and see, this does not preclude the possibility of a crime here if the forensics prove a lie is being committed. This of course could lead to other lies uncovered. The waste of billions of dollars for Law enforcement is useless and wasted on fat cat programs that make the corrupted rich officials richer. Why do the people of this nation put up with the blatant and very obvious corruption of this whole wicked system? This is PROOF and knowledge that all the billions spent on Law enforcement, homeland in-security, and inciting the neighbors to tattle tale on each other are all wasted!
The trac and trace divide and conquer methodology is failing! Neighbors are all coming together under the banners of truth. The truth is flowing like the spice of life it is. Now, where is the real Justice? All the taxpayers wasted money is being used for a system that cannot protect this nation at all. This is proven when such lies are condoned and supported by the propagandistic press corps.
These people that protract the lies are just as guilty as those that lie are. Someday, truth and justice will prevail in the name of God the creator! May God have mercy on those that attempt to hide these truths in the face of a nation that sees every move you are making. There are millions of people that hold tons of proof that will be your undoing in the Nuremburg-2 trials for ALL those complicit in these, and millions of other crimes.
For those with a heart still and a mind to think with, harken. With ears hear this proof, with eyes see this truth, with a heart do what is right and report this breaking story to save your futures and those of your children's children. This is the crack in the ice that can bring the corruption to the forefront now and possibly stop the attack on Iran, which is the real issue. Bet on it!
