The Democrats and MSM are trying to walk the cat back up into the Oval Office.

Already they're snapping at Cheney's heels and they'll keep working until they cobble something together.

This is real trouble. It shouldn't be.

If there are indictments, just remember that the entire case is built on a lie told by Joe Wilson: "I went to Niger for Dick Cheney."

He's fighting a war for America.

They won't.

If anything, this will serve to remind those "dissidents" among the conservative movement of just who the enemy is.

One wonders how this factored into the Miers nomination. After all, he'd have known this was coming. Perhaps he realized that, under the conditions likely to prevail, a movement conservative nominee would have no chance - and he underestimated the oppostion to Miers which would develop.

Hold yourself Freeper and stop this extreme knee jerk reaction that you have been spreading today from one thread to another. What comes to you and make you go to such extreme pessimism.

Can anyone cite a time in the past 6 years when Democrats overreached and it didn't come back and bite them in the butt?

Try as I might, I can't recall one time when Bush, under relentless attack, didn't come up smelling like a rose and the Democrats didn't end up with egg all over their faces.

Just sit tight. This time will be no exception and will be fun to watch.

Yea alot of the negative Micheal Savage neo-con types lurking here.

You don't pay much attention around here, do you?

That poster is definitely NOT one of those Savage creeps.

They have to learn the actual facts. The only way to make that happen is for the President to take the case directly to the people. Pardon Rove, Libbey, and anyone else and then explain why.

How many "average Joe's" out there think Dick Cheney is the owner of Haliburton ala the lib-MSM???

The majority, I would guess. But the trumped up Haliburton-Cheney connection is small potatoes compared to what they have planned between now and either Bush's impeachment, or the 2008 election. They're pulling out all the stops now, and the "average Joe" you're talking about will swallow most of the "this administration and their allies in Congress are corrupt" propaganda hook, line and sinker.

Don't worry...It's part of the master plan to deflect attention from the Miers nomination....

One for jay-walking, and the other for spitting on the sidewalk.

Well, Howlin, dangit... the evidence is that Bush has hurt himself, somewhat, with the selection of Harriet Miers. I suspect much motivation was sapped because of that selection. So it's possible that many will not turn out.

Well, I think some may do that because they are mad about the Miers nomination.

While I don't think it makes any difference to most of the loudest voices around here who never supported the President, I do believe that to some extent it has taken the wind out of the sails of some.

As I see it, it's a momentum thing. The President and his team are pretty good at building it for themselves, but I am just not sure how that will translate to Senate and Congressional races. For instance, Arnold is pointedly not meeting with the President in California.

Some of the people I talk to are starting to feel somewhat queasy about all the legal garbage. Even when they are not exactly clear on who Rove and Libby are.

I'm very concerned. We have a situation that could turn very, very quickly. I guess it just means that we're going to have to work harder.

Too rosy a scenario. Pardons assume a crime was committed. Also, no testicular fortitude in the Senate Republicans.

The Dems pulled out all of the stops during the 2004 election and look where it got them. Have a little faith in the basic intelligence of the American electorate.

Ever since Bill Clinton was impeached, the Dems have been salvating for their own pound (or two) of flesh.

When did anything but the "seriousness of the charge" matter to the press?

He's on his own. He should have thought about who would cover his flank when the chips were down before he nominated Harriet Miers. What's the great poker player going to do now with all his chips in the pot and a busted 10-high flush?

I'll tell you why I'm pessimistic.

Not only is the bush administration being attacked by foreigners, it's being attacked by the Democrats, the MSM and now by conservatives who should be rallying to his defense.

The loons like Rush Limbaugh, George Will,Bill Kristol, the National Review brat pack and others have op[enmed up a fissure in the GOP that won;t heal for a long time, if ever.
