PLACE YOUR BETS, 10 MINUTES LEFT: WILL HASTERT ANNOUNCE HIS RESIGNATION |
|
Edited on Thu Oct-05-06 12:07 PM by berni_mccoy
At 1:15pm today? He's coming out of his spider-hole to make a "dramatic" statement.
House odds: 2:1 in favor of not resigning.

6. I think no. He's not announcing his resignation. |
|
Eventually, I think his resignation is likely. But right now he still thinks he can stay on as Speaker.

54. Bingo! Was watching Tweety the other night when they had some |
|
rethug on saying the page program should be suspended. Dem was there and made comments saying he disagreed and the page program was a good program.
Like typical rethug thinking....if they suspend the program..no more potential problems.

and an apology.
Then in a few days, the whole thing will be ancient history and whatever it was they wanted to cover up will be either complete or too far along to stop.

31. No resignation. Remember, Pukes are all about themselves first and |
|
foremost. He should resign, but he wants to retain the mantle of power for as long as he can. He can't help himself, he's just a Republican.

38. remember, this is the party that never admits they are wrong |
|
He will 'retire' after the election. Remember, he wanted to retire before his last election, and Jr. talked him out of it. Probably because he needed leadership that was being blackmailed effectively to stay in the House and in lockstep. They threatened him with exposure and of outing investigations into his activities a few months back, when Denny had the temerity to squawk about the search of Jefferson's office. Hmmmm.
I don't think he'll step down. Good let the dirt just keep building up and closer and closer to the election. Somebody important, behind the scenes, is pushing back on this cabal, big time, or this would not be happening.

46. I think he shares certain characteristics with Joe Lieberman |
|
He has more loyalty to himself than he does to his Party-and this is probably a good thing --for us I don't think he will resign.
