    -I can forgive the Congress for not impeaching, believing that the most important thing is orderly succession. -

    I cannot. There is no excuse on earth for not incarcerating these evil bastards.

    -If we make it to Jan 20, 2009 with a new president, especially if it is not McCain, we stand a good chance of bringing the Bush regime to justice. -

    Not. It is not going to happen. Not from any official source. The writing is on the wall. Read it and weep.

    -It is unlikely that an Obama regime will be even remotely as criminal as the Bush gang, and he is likely to make great progress in many areas.-

    Okay....if you say so.

    -His support of the FISA bill may actually have been a stealth vote. He's that smart. After he's in office we can go to work on vigorous support for real law and order.-

    Now you've lost me. 'Smart', yes. 'Stealth vote', I sincerely doubt that. Obama is likely to be an AIPAC bootlicker like any US president who is desperate enough to gain power to agree succumb to a public Christian vetting on TV. A real man would have told the Christies to fuck off.

    I do not share your optimism but you are welcome to it if it feels good.

    There will be no day of reckoning. We are all going to be 'reaching across the aisle', don'tcha know?

    All Repugligans will walk away scott-free.
