1. IF? that is an impossiblity. they are a bit bruised and
more scraping is ahead. Will anyone do time? Probably not. But the Dems have openings to control the debate and to play the "higher moral ground" with the general public. The administration is knocked off message BIG TIME. Think about it....since the elections,

Social security destruction has been thoroughly and completely SHUT DOWN.

Terry Schiavo case made the GOP leadership look like the schmucks they are--especially after the autopsy results were publicized.

Dems came off quite well in the whole filibuster/nuclear option debate.

Now this along with absolutely horrendous news from Iraq and continued terror attacks in the West show what a failed presidency this is.

The GOP got what they wished for--full control of house/senate/presidency and are having to take all the blame for the sh!tstorm we are living through.

Our idea is to keep the pressure on. Harrass and harrie them so they have no momentum to put forward any more of their radical 15th century agenda.

The fight is every single day. And right now we are winning.
