Waiting in the Wings
"He's more congenial, not 'the highway or my way' kind of guy," says Tedisco, who plans to introduce a resolution calling for Spitzer's impeachment if a resignation is not forthcoming within the next few days. "He had the same job that I had in the senate. He's well liked." Tedisco had many heated battles with Spitzer, largely over the governor's plan to give driver's licenses to illegal aliens. He expects ideological clashes with Paterson—but foresees a smoother working relationship. "In terms of his ideology we have some disagreements, but he might be a fellow that when you have disagreements you sort them out," says Tedisco. "I think with the previous governor, it was sort of difficult to sort things out. But compromise is necessary."
The speculation about Paterson seemed a welcome respite from Monday's stunning news. "Yesterday it was dumbfounded shock. People walked around like somebody had died," says Bartoletti. But now the legislature is attempting to regroup and beginning to plan for a possible post-Spitzer era. Part of Paterson's appeal, it seems, is the slight calm he might bring to a very shaken capitol.

Comment: No weapons of mass destruction were found in Iraq. No mobile biological weapons labs were found. Iraq did not seek to acquire yellowcake uranium. The aluminum tubes were not sultable for nuclear weapons. The lead hi-jacker in the events of 9/11 did not meet with Iraqi intelligence. Iraq did not provide chemical weapons training to Al-Qaeda. There was no relationship between Iraq and Al Qaeda. Hussein nor Iraq was involved in the events of 9/11.
One million Iraqi citizens have died. 2 million have been displaced. Four thousand US soldiers have died. 100,000 have been wounded physically and mentally.
Only the oil remains. The conflicts of interest inherent in this Bush Administration are currently confiscating the natural resources of Iraq.
Should this entire Executive Branch he hung? Should there simply be another election and a new President to continue this nightmare? Only the American electorate can decide what treason and insurrection against the American electorate means.
But make no mistake....this Bush Administration used lies and innuendo to place the US military into Iraq.

Comment: With George W. Bush, his corrupt Congress on both sides of the isle and a failed domestic and foreign policy, why would'nt the American electorate want a consumer protection hero and a statesman in the Executive Branch?
The silencing of poltical voice in America is evident all across the nation. Has your local newspaper printed any coverage of the Silver Springs Maryland WInter Soldier hearings? How about any coverage of the secret session of the House of Representatives last Thursday night? A session in which all Congressional representatives were asked to sigh a non-disclosure statement. Your Congressional representative is supposed to serve, proctect and defend the Constitution the United States. Is this the way it is done while the US military is occupying a foreign nation in support of an incredibel Iraqi Parliament? I think not.
Neither the Democrat or Republican candidates can achieve a reconciliation with the American electorate. Only a candidate willing to discuss the issue of George W. Bush, a corrupt Congress and Attorney General Office of the United States and illegal international aggression can change the course for American foreign policy and domestic policy. This Administration has waged economic warfare against the American electorate.
