Kick 'em While They're Down

I don’t really like speculating on the Valerie Plame Affair, but I really am beginning to think that something big is about to happen. First off, Rove is going back before the grand jury for the fourth time, and Fitzgerald is going to interview Miller this week away from the grand jury. Could this be what we’ve all been waiting for? Is this an early Christmas present to the huddled masses?

I have to admit the events of the last couple of weeks have been better than I ever could have dreamed. I mean, we’ve all had dreams of the downfall of the neo-cons, but did anyone ever think it would happen with such gusto? Frist is going down for insider trading, Delay is going down for money laundering, and now we may also see the demise of Rove, Libby, Fleischer, and/or others for outing an operative. We also have the uproar over the no-bids for Katrina rebuilding, the Miers nomination is being bashed by the far-right, the anti-war movement is only getting larger, and W’s approval rating is in the toilet.

Now, if we can just get the Dem’s off their rears and get them to actually do something with this opportunity…If the Repugnicans are willing to kick us when we’re down, I say we give them a taste of their own medicine. It’s time we call the shots. We need a plan that shows America that we are the common man’s party. The Repugnicans came up with their “Contract on America” in 1994 and they’ve had Congress ever since. We need a flashy catch phrase that shows what is wrong in this country and what we’ll do to fix it.(Our citizens don’t have the attention span for more than a jingle.) We need to come out swinging and show the voters that our party does, in fact, have a spine. We’ve got the better ideas, we’ve got the better morals, and we’ve even got more fiscal responsibility. It’s time we step up and show America there is a better way and we can lead them to it.

The campaigning for ’06 has already begun. Chances are, even with all the legal woes of the GOP right now, most of it will have already blown over by election time. The time for the Democrats is now!!! If we don’t start kicking ass and taking names RIGHT NOW, we aren’t gonna get either house back. If we don’t make a VERY good showing in ‘06, then ‘08 is shot. So, lets get out there and beat the neo-cons at their own game. Let’s be the ones that set the tone for the election, instead of being reactionary. We know they will go negative, so let’s hit them with the first shot. Let’s make sure the country knows that the “party of God” isn’t so Godly after all. It’ll take grassroots, advertising, PAC’s, and rallies, but it can be done. It must start NOW, people!!!

If we can get our act together now, I predict we’ll be popping the corks on the night of November 7, 2006. America is getting fed up with the current administration and Congress, and they are ready for change. Let’s give it to ‘em. Let’s take back this country and restore it to the glory of being the greatest place on Earth. A place where dissent is welcomed, where civil liberties rank above all else, where the forests are green and the skies are blue. A place where education and healthcare are more important than “pre-emptive” war. A place where the little man is the #1 priority and not the corporation that wants to outsource his job. We must strike while the iron is hot...the time for regime change is now.

Update: The e-mail idiot from the “Wrong Writers” posts and I have swapped a couple more notes. The last one to him was on Thursday, and he hasn’t responded yet. I’ll give it a couple more days to see if he does, then I’ll post what I’ve got. I am particularly fond of my last note to him. I’m sure he’s still trying to get the last word in though, so I’ll wait him out.
