Are there anymore scandals on the horizon ...
that are not seen yet. Is there anyone you hope to see involved and scrambling to lie his or her way out of it.

1. Well at the pace we are going we have 3 1/2 weeks to go
before the elections....and we are averaging a scandal almost every two or three days all thanks to the Repugs.....I say yes....and I think they are going to be more stunning than the scandals we have seen so far...

19. As Abramoff & others agree to cooperate, possibilities are endless....
It could end up bringing out a 'big dog' if enough defendants agree to cooperate to shorten their prison sentences. Think White House, .......

2. Something about Hastert and horses don't know when
Plus the Veterans Commision is hiding its report but Larry Scott is on it and leaked part of it. Bad for Replugs big time

15. Is that one which shows that 155,000 have applied for disability benefits
because of this war?

That's an H-bomb. My understanding is that they already approved 105,000 with disabilities of at least 20%.

6. Well Representatives of the Word "Gate" are lobbying for 4 new scandles.
For years the lowly word Gate hobbled around in obscurity, used only when one had to enter and leave a yard - now he's everywhere, thanks to Watergate. And he's looking to capitalize on his noteriety with 4 brand new scandles for the remainder of the electoral season. Look forward to these tenative scandals coming soon -> Hastertgate, Silkgate, Daushaundgate, and Adjectivegate!

14. the repukes have committed hundreds of crimes we know about

18. Iraqi/Afghan War Accounting Scandal--Likely After Midterm Election
So far there is absolutely no accounting for billions of taxpayer dollars that have disappeared into the black holes of Iraq and Afghanistan.

Combine the lack of accounting with the no-bid contracts, and the total failure to provide the services required under the no-bid contracts, will mushroom into an outrageous scandal of monumental proportions.

The $9 billion the Coalition Provisional Authority could not find will be a drop in the bucket compared to what a real investigation would find.
