Democratic Senators should call a general strike
No action on any initiative, legislation or nomination from this administration until:

1. Turdgate is resolved - should an SC nominee from a traitor be considered? And not just the surface issue of who outed Valerie Plame. Who wrote the forged Niger documents? What leads was Plame's network pursuing? Was it political retaliation or was Plame getting too close to something much uglier?
2. Full cooperation on the requested Bolton documents.
3. A full explanation of the Downing Street Minutes and related documents.

3. time to dredge up Ledeen, Ghorbanifar, Chalabi, et al
Ledeen's pretty embarrassing as it stands. A bit of time in the spotlight with all his overt fascism will taint these guys, and badly. Ghorbanifar's Iran-Contra shenanigans likewise.

4. We should all call a general strike
throughout US history, that is the only way
large change has taken place.

So much of of this country is screwed up at the moment,
I feel it is going to take very widespread strikes
and demonstrations before anything is changed.

I know way too many people that are totally brain dead
to what is going on in this country, from loss of
our rights to entertwining of church and state to
torture to facism and capitalism.

5. What if the prosecutor takes a year?
Edited on Thu Jul-21-05 12:58 PM by theboss
Why do you want to politicize an investigation to this degree? This seems like something you would want to avoid politicizing. That way, when Rove gets indicted (if he does), the Dems can look shocked and disappointed.

6. As if the entire Dem representation in the Senate
could come up with one single complete set of cajones between them or a couple of vertebrae stacked to represent a column.
