3. No I disagree
It cannot withstand the awakening giant. We have hit critical mass. Unless something really off the wall happens I think this ENTIRE administration is going down. It may take another year but I think it's coming. :bounce:

6. I have heard rumors that
there are too many "insiders" who have turned on the administration and are blowing whistles, pulling covers and impeding the efforts of those involved in trying such a thing. Maybe it's wishful thinking but I don't think they will pull it off again. :shrug:

8. I agree.
Except with the one year. I think that its going to be a longer slower process, because I think the damage is deeper than meets the idea. But basically you are right, it will come down....Because its built on deception, and therefore its at war with reality. Even republicans are decieved. They don't really want an empire:

5. page 28 John Dean's book: Worse than Watergate
Edited on Sun Aug-21-05 06:30 PM by MissWaverly
" we put Bush on the board and spent 3 years. Came to all the meetings. Told a lot of jokes-not that many clean ones. And after a while I kind of said to him, after about three years, you know, I am not sure that this is really for you. Maybe you should do something else.
Because I don't think that you are adding that much value to the board.
You don't know that much about the company."

from speech by David Rubenstein, co-founder and managing director of the
Caryle Group, to L.A. County Employees Retirement Association

7. You didn't get the memo.
We no longer have a government. We have a corporation with a single-minded interest in its profits that has no problem using American military and taxes for their narrow agenda. I really think we need to call another Constitutional congress and fix this.
