if a tyrant eavesdrops on everyone in Senate and House he owns them

[Jeffersons Ghost]

After all, what person is so perfect that they are not only beyond reproach but also so clean that no lie can be spun from massive volumes of personal information... After all, there must even be a few old-school repukes up there that still have a enough respect for the Bill of Right to overcome partisanship... It would certainly explain a few personally troubling issues to me in regard to our guys and this Alito stuff. It's just a thought. What do you think?

1. I think that's how Enquirer got the Kennedy

love-child story. And why it was timed for the confirmation hearings.

2. i don't follow you

I never even glance at that rag but, please, enlighten me.

4. Enquirer did a piece recently

revealing that Kennedy had a child by a woman he wasn't married to. It was 21 years ago and at the time he was divorced from his 1st wife.

I never thought it was a coincidence that it came out during the Alito hearings.

6. are they going back as far as Jefferson

I mean, talk about old news, this is like a freeping time machine... As Jefferson's Ghost I'm not even feeling safe at this point... Thanks for the info. That "rag" i referred to is read, and even believed, by millions of rank and file fools.

3. We all have and had our personal foibles;

I think the rule of $$ rules, not the rule of laws or conscience or integrity for the majority.
If blackmail is being used, when would enough be enough?

5. I'd say

Once that gennie gets out of the bottle, it will never be enough. The tyrant party can REALLY make federal govt. an exclusive club then, by hand picking not only the repukes but also the dems they want as members.

Not to say it's hopeless, I mean Ted can stand any amount of scandal and Russ said, "I don't care" and meant it, so he won't be intimidated... Then we have that great Gore speech so maybe he's dodged the bullet for now... It's never hopeless.
