Reply #5: I never said that . In fact I said the opposite

But the fact that you or I or others here on DU think it was illegal and that Chimpy should be held accountable doesn't mean that its going to happen. If the world was the way I wanted it (and the way most DUers want it) there would be no need to even have this discussion, since chimpy wouldn't be president and the repubs wouldn't control the House and Senate. But the world is the way it is not the way I wish it would be. And I don't see anything in your post to suggest that you think the average person (or the media from which they obtain information) is about to experience some shining moment of enlightenment. So I stand by my contention: while I'd like to see chimpy held accountable for his warrantless eavesdropping, the only "accountability" that I think will occur is that, with some good candidates and a message that nudges the average member of the electorate but doesn't get so far ahead of them that they tune us out, the Democrats will recapture control of Congress and the presidency by 2008 and we'll be able to start reversing some of the damage done by chimpy and his gang.
