"If" .. like you're expecting it ..??

Well .. I'm not and I'm actively praying against it.

Apparently "Plan A" back in the 1970s was not to force Nixon out of office, but to keep the Watergate investigation and impeachment proceedings dragging on, to ensure Democrat gains in the 1974 elections and a Democrat win in the 1976 Presidential race. As it happened, of course, matters reached a point where Nixon resigned...and if it had not been for a blunder or two, Ford might have beaten Carter in 1976.

The plan now, on the part of the Democrat activists, is to turn the controversy over pre-war intelligence and Bush's supposed duplicity into a new Watergate scandal (there was some talk of this tonight by the "Fox All Stars"). If they can regain the House in November 2006, they will start impeachment proceedings, but probably don't expect to force Bush out of office. Instead, they want to weaken him so severely by the process that 2008 becomes a Democratic landslide election.

Certainly I am not expecting it, and I join you in your prayers for our president. I was only pointing to the poison relationship between the CIA and the president and what history teaches is a very real possibility when these conditions exist.
