After Abramoff's admission of guilt

I think 60 is a conservative number, since it's only the beginning of Abramoff''s admission of guilt.

Actually, so do I. I think the potential for this scandal to spread is pretty big; there's going to be a lot of pressure for deals if the Justice Dept. does it's sh*t correctly.

I actually think the Internet, and the Blogsphere, will help keep the JDept. on course, with continued and public pressure. We'll see, but at this point, I think 2006 is going to be a hell of a year in politics.

If there was a good way to clean up our government, this should turn out to be a bonanza for the people of this country.

60 is a good start, tho. 6 sounded like scape-goating but 60 sounds like the start of some serious headrolling.

Like others I am not holding my breath for any of this to stick to any major players, but I am willing to be pleasantly surprised. I hope that this cleans house and senate and we have to start over. But then again, I also hope for world peace.

Even if nothing sticks, if as cylop suggested, people keep up the pressure and keep the message out there, at least the truth will be heard and maybe through the next couple of elections, changes will then be made for the better.

Come November, any any of these scumbags are up for re-election, the people MUST eliminate them from service. If we do not, WE are the fools.

I have little confidence in the electorates long term memory or in fact even their short term one. In addition too many would label it as politics as usual in the US.

Then that is what it will be...politics as usual. At that point, no one has the right to complain.

I disagree the rational people have every right to complain. However, it no doubt will be a voice in the wilderness.

OK. So long as we (the rational voters) direct our complaint to the "irrational" voters who continually vote according to party lines and keep "re-cycleing" these politicians.

The only way that will ever happen if by some miracle they ever get beyond the headlines and the sport pages. Too many Americans are politically illiterate.

So are you resigned to the fact that this is a hopeless issue?

Are you resigned to the fact that 80% of the registered voters will split their vote between the Dummycrats and Repuglicans?

If so, then it is up to the 20% to make the difference and fire the bums!

woiyo, That's the sad fact; the 20 percent makes all the difference. They just don't understand how powerful they are in this country.

I know I am part of that 20% and I suspect you are too.

Many on A2K I suspect are also.
