#1 You can't be blackmailed if you are above the law and have no sense of shame.

#3 Wireless surveillance could have been done on our House/Senate people, learning things that Rove could use, and now they're afraid. Maybe they were even quietly threatened with plantings of drugs, kid pr0n, gay pr0n, National Review...

Yeah, you might wiggle your way out of it on the pr0n and the drugs, but National Review? That's Kiss of Death stuff.
Must sign off now before black helicopter squadron gets a fix on me.
Out.

#4 "Course, it could be that I'd just rather believe this than that Feinstein, Pelosi, Reid, Rockefeller, Durbin, Hoyer and so many others are gutless."

Yes, rainmanjr, that's quite possible; you "progressives" are capable of believing anything (which is why you're "progressives" in the first place).

But there's a simpler explanation: it's not that Feinstein, Pelosi, Reid, Rockefeller, Durbin, Hoyer et al are "gutless", but rather they're simply not as stupid and insane as you are.

#5 What? You didn't think the dems would deliver on their promises after they won the elections did you?

How quaint... taking a politician at their word.

#6 Feinstein, Pelosi, Reid, Rockefeller, Durbin, Hoyer

lol! In your Whose Who The Most Corrupt Politicians Diverting Billions of Your Tax Money to Personal Relatives, you forgot Teddy Boy and The Klu Klux Klan Master. But they are willing to "talk" tough against Bush, so I guess you still have that.

#11 They just can't understand why the Dems in Congress cannot garner the votes to lose the war. The answer must be blackmail, which is their default position on what motivates American elected officials. But here, some members of Congress believe the Dems efforts to lose the war is treasonous. Question, would blackmailing a Congressman to not commit treason be a crime?

#12 The dems majority is thin. All it takes is a few of them to have some sense to derail the fantasies of the hard left. But this is the difference of those who actually wield the power and those who wish they did. The ones wielding it actually have to deal with the consequences of their actions. While a large majority of the dems still would be happy to turn this country into a socialist swamp, at least a few, enough for now, are unwilling to do so. And that drives the Koskids banannas.

#13 "that kind of sorted thing"

At first I thought he meant 'kinda-sorta' - a Chicago idiom. But upon reflection, I'm pretty sure he meant 'sordid'. Bwahahaha! Moron!
