NOVEMBER 10, 2006 --

Now we will see if return to power in the House of Representatives is enough to end the 12-year political tantrum of the
congressional Democrats.

If a political leopard doesn't change his
spots, President Bush will be impeached by January 1, 2008.

If Democrats and their media allies bring out the old Watergate playbook, first, ways and means will be found to remove the vice-president.

Democrats can be certain only that they have the votes to impeach Mr. Bush. With the GOP Senate majority holding (if barely) party labels do not point to automatic conviction -- EXCEPT, how will Senators Specter, Chaffee, Snowe, among others, vote on the resolution to convict President Bush?

The White House is now in hot water and the sharks are circling.

By the political-leopards-don't-change-their spots rule, Republicans will not learn from November 7 a date that (for Democrats and their media allies) will live on famously,

Consequently we shall have to establish
a new party -- one that will be faithful to the idea of representative government for the common good, not for the enrichment of the office-holder and his friends and backers.

LPR heard a tape of Senator Clinton, speaking after her re-election, calling for change and for ending favors for "special
interests."

Who is the top Democrat in New York now: Gov. Elect Eliot Spitzer, pictured above, or Senator Clinton -- or Bill Clinton? [Note to LPR clicksters: New York, lacking a viable GOP, does not have a top Republican. Mayor Bloomberg became a Republican only for political convenience, LPR believes.]

On this point, Senator Clinton has, for
LPR, zero credibility. Her husband, in his first inaugural, made a similar declaration and proceeded to turn the White House over to special interests -- for a price.

Democratic politicians are too fond of
amassing huge stores of campaign funds ever to be guided by the counsel in the first half of Federalist 57. That means, in the words of No. 57, that if we do not act to revive representative government, we are heading to tyranny.
