[Political Junkie Too]

Now TURN THE TABLES PUBBIES!!! This is a DEM SMEAR JOB and you need to get out there and paint it as the POLITICS OF PERSONAL DESTRUCTION RIGHT NOW!!!

Unfortunately, this is exactly when the Republican penchant to "go along to get along" will begin to kick in.

I expect the next Democrat play to be "haven't they been hurt enough? Can't we just put this behind us and get back to doing the people's business that they sent us here to do?"

And then the Republicans will accede, and we'll be back to last Thursday, as if all of this never happened, until it happens again.

Hastert also has to know that the Democrats were planning to backstab him all the time that he was defending William Jefferson during the FBI raid.

However, just like how the Democrats are the proverbial scorpion, the Republicans are also the proverbial frog, and I fear that it's just their nature to allow themselves to get stung.

Again, and again, and again.

I really hope that they start fighting back this time. This attack cannot be allowed to stand.

This is the perfect time to jam the knife in and twist it. It's about time the Democrats were made to pay a heavy price for their chicanery.
