IIRC, we ‘flipped’ six Senate Seats – which wasn’t even really considered possible going into the Election – to get the Majority last time.

What We want this time is a Super-Majority – 60 Solid, Honorable Seats – Without Counting Joe Traitor.

It’s Likely two Supreme Picks hang in the balance, so let’s Take the Prize!

Will a Net +10 Senate Wins give US 60 Seats?

Citizen Hamsher and the Firepup Freedom Fighters:

I jest got up all depressed about this 5th anniversary of the nightmare in Iraq and our Congress when I saw the news flash that the “DC Madam” had been found dead of “an apparent suicide”. Now, does anyone else see the entire corrupt machine of Enron to the stock market scandal to the war profiteering thru the Abramoff syndicate comin’ apart here in the garage of a DC whorehouse manager?

I gotta believe that our secret police and intelligence apparatus have been given the mission to stop the bleedin’ and get rid of the bodies before a new administration comes in with a real Attorney General and special prosecutors.

Tell me why I’m wrong and I’ll go quietly back ta sleep…shit, this is gettin’ ta be like sumpthin’ out of a bad Sartre play!!

KEEP THE FAITH AND PASS THE AMMUNITION BEFORE THE DOTS GET CONNECTED RIGHT AROUND OUR NECKS!!

Does Mr. Waxman not consider the possibility that Impeachment has an educational component, and that sheer self-interest/self-preservation might just affect even Republicans? How about Democrats. Whom do they ALL work for? Perhaps they all have forgotten?

General question:Is Waxman a lesser weevil or just a little weevil?

Watch the video dosido remarked upon @54 before answering, please …
