Senator Rubber Stamper Lindsey Graham just said on the Senate Floor that "Elections Do Matter"...He's using that as one of his justifications for why Alito should be confirmed. Wouldn't it be nice IF we really had honest elections that ALL the citizens had confidence in...? Why didn't Mr. Graham want to investigate the widespread claims about voter fraud during the 2004 Presidential election....? It's interesting that the GOP-controlled Senate allowed NO HEARINGS on the integrity of the 2004 elections. Are they really concerned about what might happen if the truth came out...? -s2@RoveHasJustTheTypeOfGOPSenatorsThatHeWantsRightNow.com None dare call it stolen - Ohio, the election, and America's servile press freepress.org

Lightbulb By Jane Smiley* huffingtonpost.com 01.25.2006 A couple of days ago, a conservative news organ reported that the Bush administration is preparing for possible impeachment. I am certain that they are planning to endure the impeachment process asap, so that when the Congress votes along party lines, as with Alito, they can say that the "failure to impeach" constitutes a "renewed mandate". Democrats and progressives, beware! My bet is he can't be impeached twice, no matter what the high crimes and misdemeanors are. No gambit is too outrageous for Rove, Bush, and Cheney, and they certainly have a plan to use impeachment to consolidate their power. ____________________________________________________________ * Jane Smiley is a novelist and essayist.
