The only way to put this whole damn thing to bed
is for Congress to conduct a full-scale investigation including making all the rats testify under oath. What would be even better would be for a demand for a Special Prosecutor to be appointed. Then we will get down to the real dirt. Without it we may just be scraping the dirt around.

I only hope that the testimony and evidence presented to both Houses of Congress and ultimately revealed to the American people is so damning that there will be such outrage by the electorate to force a bi-partisan effort to conduct an honest investigation. We cannot let them sweep this under the rug. We must keep up the pressure and use the power and influence of the activist community and the Internet.

1. Hell, we can't get one lousy senator to stand up for us
and you think they'd have the balls to do an investigation and a Special Prosecutor. What kind of country do you think we're living in? A democracy? Don't you know we only appoint special prosecutors for those really important events-like our president's lying about consensual sex?

4. Ugnmoose - YES! Even though (I believe) there will be a Senator
who stands tomorrow we still have our work cut out for us. I am ready!

5. Let us all make a pact right here and now
If the Dems get balls and truly challenge this to a point that it cannot get steam rolled through by the Repukes let us all commit that we are going to fight like our lives depend on it because they do! I'm ready to shed some of my blood - are you?
