A drip that grows to a torrent or a biblical deluge in the here and now?
First, kudos to Sen Feingold .... and now to Sen Harkins for signing on .......

But I have to wonder ...... my first reaction was to get all pissed off (as usual) at the 'cowardly Dems' in the Senate. But maybe there's a better way ..... and maybe there's a strategy already in place.

(I know .... I know ..... even as I wrote that last sentence, my brain was smacking the shit out of my fingers!)

Okay, so maybe there isn't a strategy. But ..... what if, instead of a political orgasm that just blasts up on the sheeple's radar and then quickly fades to whereverthefuck the DSM went, we have just one or two Senators a week get on board with this? Each has a big presser and shouts to get headlines. Each endorsement stronger than the one before.

Keep beating the drum steadily from now to the start of the 06 campaign season and then go for the vote and force the Repubs to either kill the motion and anyone's ability to vote 'upperdown' and be seen as a cabal or force them to go on record supporting President Asswipe.

Just a thought .......

1. It sounds like a pretty good idea.
So that means that it will never happen.
