1. Time will tell.
We just can't let it die.

2. I don't know that DSM will die, but it will not be embraced by
Congress or the lamestream media.

Which is why we have to keep the fire burning.

Do not give up.

3. I tell you, if the fuckers on the Left let this die, we deserve to lose
We can't just whine and complain all the time. We have to latch on to the Truth like a pitbull and not let go as if our lives depended on it.

Guess what? Our lives actually do depend on it.

5. I Was Just Going To Request An "I Don't Know" Question
But you're answer pretty much covers it all. If this opportunity slips away, I don't when we'll get a better chance!

Yes, 2006 is about 17 months away, but we need to become real Pit Bulls and snag them in the asses!

4. If the Democrats can get control of the house,
they can hold congressional investigations. That is when it would get real juicy. Otherwise, it will just linger. The longer it appears that they cannot get control of things in Iraq, the more people will think about how we got there.

9. If we make enough noise
and the democrats in congress raise a big enough stink, then we can use the DSM to try to win seats next year.

6. Sadly, no. The Repugs hold congress and the media.
They won't resonate with the public either. Too many sheeple have already given the Chimperor a pass on any Iraq activity.

10. But Dean & Kerry can go on TV and talk about it if they wanted too.
So blaming the media does not give us the whole picture.

Dean has had tons of media access lately- no one is stopping him from talking about the DSm if he really wants to.

If DEMs want to bring this up on TV, they could do it.

7. What happens if Republicans still control both Houses in 2006?
I say we riot.
