Which of the current repuke scandals has the most potential...
to damage and humiliate * and his immediate cronies? Which one could drive them from power? There are so many.... but which one will resonate with the public? Which one has legs?

Also, can you believe this? :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: They're falling apart before our eyes.:woohoo: We would have killed for any of these scandals to see the light of day a couple of years ago!

1. Abramoff/Kidan SunCruz scandal
This has so many gangland offshoots whoever was associated with these guys, including Delay and Ney will be radioactive.

3. Plame outing will hurt bushco the most
Cuz that will show they care about their personal power more than US security.

That said, more heads will roll in the Abramoff thing .... and most of those heads will be in Ohio or the Congress. In the end, that helps the country more.

4. Exactly: their loyalty is to the Republican Party, not the U.S.A.
To expose this country by destroying our WMD spy network just to silence a critic is beyond outrageous. It shows that WMDs really aren't so important to them; power is.

Couple this with Junior's blocking the Homeland Security Department unless he could strip 170,000 workers of their union protection, and it shows that his priority is money and the subjugation of his people. Examining the timeline of this last nasty fact, and you can see that this, along with the IWR vote were specifically brought up right before a national election, and done while deliberately scaring the crap out of the people for personal gain.

This administration has systematically terrorized its own people for personal profit, and not addressed the real issues behind the justifications.

Plame, if brought into the light of day, is damning in ways that even fools can see.

5. The Frist one will blow up big- Martha Stewart style
And one can only hope that Fitzgerald's indictments will come and come Big time. That will be the icing on the cake.

And the Tom Delay one will only grow as the Jack Abramoff investigation widens.

My forecast: They all look good!

9. I misread your post as the "first" one
and was scrambling to try to remember what the first one was. LOL, I couldn't remember. I think you'd have to go waay back...

6. Abu Grahib pictures
If they're released, that is. They know it and that's why they're fighting so hard to keep us from seeing them. Many Republicans and even some Freepers thinkbeating, raping, and sodomizing of children is morally wrong.

7. The one not yet reported
and I am sure there are many.

But think about what Cheney has in his "blind trust". Think about what we have just learned about "blind trusts" ala republicans.

Think of the huge profits reaped by Cheney in his "blind trust" ala Haliburton.

Think of Cheney's intervention (well documented) on one or more of the Haliburton no-bid contracts in the early days of the Iraq invasion.

Mine is speculation - but my gut instinct is that there is a HUGE story right there.

I also bet we are only just beginning to see the list of scandals that are bubbling beneath the surface.
