What kind of threats have the Democrats received?
Some of the inaction of the Dems can be attributed to being DINOs for some. But when we have someone like Dennis Kucinich (sp) announce that he'll think about introducing impeachment in the House something smells bad to me. The grassy-knoller in me says that the gop has got people like Nancy paralyzed with fear. From what kind and what level of threat I don't know. But my gut tells me there's more than just your usual political arm-twisting going on behind the scenes.

1. ANTHRAX, for one.
NSA illegal spying surely turned up some interesting fodder for their use in Blackmailing. The Hart Building was shut down when the Anthrax was supposedly being cleaned up. What a perfect time for NSA to plant their bugs.

3. If a pol can't be bought or blackmailed, threats ARE an alternative
cheney/bush junta have killed, what, about a million Iraqis and thousands of Americans. They have emptied the US Treasury into their friends' bank account. They have done likewise with BILLIONS and BILLIONS of borrowed money. They have stolen from us, our children, our grandchildren. They have set the stage for GENERATIONS of warfare by the wanton killing of innocents abroad.

Nothing is beyond them. If threats against a pol and/or family, there could be the threat that the next terrorist strike could be in their home district or state.

I put NOTHING past cheney. He is a world class megalomaniac and he HAS to stay in control of everyone or he goes to prison overseas.

I put NOTHING past cheney. NOTHING.

7. You know, the X-filer in me says there are boiler rooms set up
to do just that sort of thing, calling a pol and/or family until they're obedient.

10. cheney banks of the fact that most people can't imagine how evil some can be.
All con men operate because most people think others are like themselves. Most people have limits and inhibitions. Thinking ALL others share those traits means really bad shit is unthinkable to the majority.

People need to pay closer attention. ;)
