But what I still don’t understand is why they went ahead with the Attorney firings after they lost the mid-terms. No matter how one cuts the cake, it was a mistake. Even if they were desparate to prepare for the 2008 elections, they’ve exposed their own voter fraud scheme all by themselves. It was only known by the esoteric bloggers before January. Now it’s in the public domain big time. They were due a mistake, but it’s hard to imagine they made one this big.
leg [legal] = Harriet Miers
political = Sara Taylor
communications = Dan Bartlett
"We’re a go for the US Atty plan. WH leg, political, and communications have signed off and acknowledged that we have to be committed once the pressure comes." Looks to me like there aren’t many of "we" left. All of the people who "signed off" on the firings in the White House are out of government. Everyone directly involved at the Department of Justice is out of government. Only the people behind firewalls – Alberto Gonzales and Karl Rove remain. Did they just get dumb all of a sudden or is there something we don’t yet know?
The other possibility is that "reckless" means "hasn’t had a wreck yet, and doesn’t know how it feels."
They never stop. As soon as an election is finished, they are planning for the next one. The House of Rep. is of course every 2 years, so they are always campaigning. I think that they needed to try to have the political cronies in position to fight so-called voter fraud in time for 2008. They really thought that they had no other choice. It was all or nothing. There is no winning for them unless they cheat. There master plan must be huge. I assume that the Bush team has been having secret meetings( power point) all over the country, similar to the one that Lurita Doan had for her people accross the country.
I think that’s right, Joy. The good news is how quickly it’s coming to light now. I think the huge-ness of their plan is turning into the reason it’s being exposed. They couldn’t possibly hide it all once the dam got a crack in it. fingers crossed!
