So, now that the Repuke party appears to be imploding, should we expect

[zbdent]

that "terrorist strike" (October "surprise") soon that will "force" George W. Bush to put the country in lockdown and postpone the elections until "the threat is over"?

(I say "appears to be imploding" because the media will soon find another shiny object to focus on, and then fellate the GOP enough to make repukes holding on to be realistic ...)

1. No.

C'mon.

And the GOP is not 'imploding', any more than the Dems 'imploded' during the Clinton impeachment.

2. Dems did "implode" after Clinton scandal.

That's how Junior was elected. People have short memories.

[Richardo]

4. Gore won the popular vote

People DO have short memories.

6. Oh c'mon.

You'd have to be blind, deaf and dumb to think that the Clinton scandal had nothing to do with the 2000 election. Yes, Gore won the popular vote, but if not for what happened with Clinton, he would have won the presidency easily. Gore didn't want Clinton to campaign for him, REMEMBER?

[Richardo]

7. I didn't say it did not have anything to do with the election

I said the Dems did not 'implode'.

8. Then tell me why Repubs control our government now.

The presidency, both houses of congress and most governorships are controlled by the Repubs now. I'd call that an implosion. We're coming out of it now, but it's been a long eight years.

[Richardo]

9. It all started with the Gingrich takeover of the House in 1994....

To me, THAT was the low point for the party - Newt had the country convinced that the President was irrelevant. In subsequent years, the Dems were making inroads on the GOP majority. We backslid in the 2002 election.

By the time the impeachment came around, Clinton was back in the 60s in the polls.

5. Absolutely, Z...

If in fact our hypothesis of Hastert's resignation triggering a replacement comes to fruition..
Then we may be (for once) ahead of the learning curve..

Having Newt replace Hastert makes more sense for implementing the diabolical sociopathic
plans in place involving the detention of Americans opposed to the self appointed dictatorship.

After all, what better player can they recruit, than someone proven himself worthy; asking his wife
at a Cancer treatment Center to sign divorce paper allowing him to marry his adulterous consort?

[Tellurian]

10. WOW...They're moving at lightening speed..

Resign, Mr. Speaker

House Speaker Dennis Hastert must do the only right thing, and resign his speakership at once. Either he was grossly negligent for not taking the red flags fully into account and ordering a swift investigation, for not even remembering the order of events leading up to last week's revelations -- or he deliberately looked the other way in hopes that a brewing scandal would simply blow away. He gave phony answers Friday to the old and ever-relevant questions of what did he know and when did he know it? Mr. Hastert has forfeited the confidence of the public and his party, and he cannot preside over the necessary coming investigation, an investigation that must examine his own inept performance.

A special, one-day congressional session should elect a successor. We nominate Rep. Henry Hyde, also of Illinois, the chairman of the House International Relations Committee whose approaching retirement ensures that he has no dog in this fight. He has a long and principled career, and is respected on both sides of the aisle. Mr. Hyde would preside over the remaining three months of the 109th Congress in a manner best suited for a full and exhaustive investigation until a new speaker for the 110th Congress is elected in January, who can assume responsibility for the investigation.


Respected on both sides of the aisle?

Aren't we forgetting the adulterous affairs of Mr. Hyde?

The lady he was supporting, paying for her LOVE NEST ?...

Why would anyone agree to replacing one immorality with another?

11. That's why I put "imploding" in quotes

because no matter what the Repukes do, the media will still aid them in trying to stay in power ... I've said it for quite some time that George W. Bush could rape a small male child in the Rose Garden DURING A PRESS CONFERENCE and the media would go easy on him ...

3. Remember how much mileage they got from Gary Condit?

nope, this will be in the news for a while, they love titillating stuff like this that they can drip out over a period of time.
