Yesterday, Stephanie Miller's sidekick read something
which made me download the podcast today, get the author's name, and look it up. From the Wayne Madsen Report:

The...raid by 19 armed FBI agents on the...office of Rep. William Jefferson was not a warning to the current 109th Congress, but a threatening broadside...to a future Democratic Congress -- "engage in investigations, hearings, subpoenas of Bush administration current and ex-officials, and impeachment notions, and this type of ransacking...will be the rule and not the exception"...Bush's judges...will rule that FBI invasions and ransacking of congressional offices do not violate any separation of powers clause in the Constitution...


The good news is, the Bush monarchy has awakened and smelled the coffee regarding the 2006 elections. The bad news is, they've come up with a contingency plan. And if Wayne Madsen is going to write stuff like this, he needs to turn in web site into a blog so people can track down his entries!

1. Raise your hand if you think . . .
There's ANYTHING these scum-sucking traitors would stop at, to keep their hold on power.

6. this boy's hand ain't going up. I KNOW these bastards will do anything
to maintain their parasitical grip on our country. They have spent large amounts of money, effort, political capital, etc. to get their grubby little mits on our country and they aren't going to surrender easily.

3. This SHOULD mean a war within the government
because its branches are supposed to be equally powerful, token resistance is better than none at all. And as Madsen suggests, if it becomes the rule, obtaining a Democratic congress becomes a waste of effort. When is the Republican congress going to figure out they they're just as irrelevant as the Dem congress is?

5. War? Bah
If there really was a war in the .gov, then why did the Dems roll and vote for Hayden (sp?)?

They are being held-down due to blackmailing. When are the Dems gonna start going for the throat and do a little PI on the WH? I know there is plenty there, heck, even Deputy Dawg could find something!
