Reply #48: It's difficult - I'm betting the blackmail will include illegally gathered

[Nothing Without Hope]

evidence with things like evidence of bribe-taking (or APPARENT bribe taking that would be hard to disprove) or photos/videos with prostitutes, for example. (I think THIS is where Gannon/Guckert's escort buisiness came in, for example.) Things that would mean career-ending professional disgrace. I actually think Ney was made an example of. Yes, he's guilty and a slimy guy, but he was also starting to object to the Patriot Act.

If it's just electability, that can surely be fought more effectively. but unfortunately elections these days are all too much a measure of which candidate can buy more TV spots and hire better speechwriters and psyops talent.

But we have to work at showing them that if they DON'T stand up and fight the fascism, their career will be over anyway. Liebermann is trailing Lamont, and I hope he sinks like a stone....
