Bush and the Republicans have boobytrapped the White House...

and the rest of the government. We will suffer many casualties when we retake D.C. For instance, their favorite trick--run the Treasury into bankruptcy and make the Democrats try to fix it. Lard the various departments with know-nothing political incompetents. Etc.

1. Of course.

That's SOP. Hopefully, the "internets" and increasing general awareness of GOP trickery will counteract the boobytraps this time around. ReTHUGlican sophistry has, I hope, met its match and will fail.

2. don't forget the snoops that they've planted all over

like the snoops that were in place when Bill and Hillary Clinton moved into the white house.

the snitches were on the wire with MA and PA BUSH gossiping about everything and anything...

and when BILL and HILLARY wanted to FIRE a couple of them AND bring in THEIR OWN HELP ... the REPUBLICANS MADE A NATIONAL SCANDAL DAY OVER IT! they wanted to keep them there so they could continue snooping and snitching.

4. They only got away with it because the MEDIA

parroted it day and night.. The "snoops" in the media are the ones to fear..

3. Yeah, but we don't...

...run from governance.

It's an opportunity as well as a problem.
