"2006" Commentary by Hoffmania...please read
<http://www.hoffmania.com/blog/2005/07/2006.html#comment-7486912>

snip...

No petition will take the place of solid tough questioning by our representatives when this guy is paraded before them. They must do their jobs. That's what I want them to do. That's what I elected them to do. I don't want emails from senators. I want results from senators.

If the guy can pass muster, fine. If he doesn't, I'll trust them to do the right thing (I'm blessed with Barbara Boxer and cursed with Dianne Feinstein, so I live in a coin flip). I trust they will make their decision out of conscience and not out of another of a succession of back-room deals.

snip...


I want to devote my energy and effort to making the sweeping changes in 2006 to make sure George W. Bush's - and Dick Cheney's - free ride comes to a screeching stop. I want to back their runaway train back into the station and shut it down once and for all.

Whatever happens between now and then can only add to our ammunition. God knows they've fucked up everything for the last five years. I can wait another ten months.

2006. That's my focus. That's my goal. Call me crazy. I don't care about winning these little exhibition games. I want to win the big one.

Ripping the lid off the CIA treason scandal is a great start. Take it right to the top. Hold these bastards accountable for once in their sorry careers. And if they stonewall, if they smirk, if they make a stink - keep hammering until they bleed. Make them - MAKE them - tell the truth for once.

2. I know, we have been waiting a long time
I feel the same way. But winning big in '06 is the key.

3. Winning in 2006 means kicking Diebold et al out.
We can't take another rigged election sitting down. We've got to impeach and convict the fascist dictator for his war crimes and that means a Democratic majority. We need a credible story as to how this may be accomplished.

4. That would be a GREAT place to start
I hope that task is chosen for the activist group. The sooner the better.
