Predictions 2007

Our lively Tuesday night meeting of Drinking Liberally resulted in numerous predictions for 2007. We covered the board on a variety of issues, some were positive, others took a more "been there-done that" approach.

Below are the predictions. You can bet that many of them generated discussion among our DL members!

But if you were not able to make the January 2nd meeting, please provide us yours as well in the comments section found at the bottom of this post. We will take them to the next DL meeting and review them--maybe laugh at them, maybe discuss them.

Warren
Democrats will cave to Bush on the issue of troop surge in Iraq.

Steve
Democrats in the US House of Reprentatives will "out-moderate" the right wing of the house.

Mark
(Congress) will get a minimum wage passed.

Steve
Minimum Wage will pass over a veto.

Bruce
Al Gore will be the leading democratic presidential candidate by the end of 2007.

Don L
Proposes a challenge: How does the DL Olympia group counter the illness that is gripping our political environment? Drinking Liberally will become a force in keeping progressives' feet to the fire in cleaning up this environment.

Don L
Bush will try to take us to war with Iran before his presidency ends

Group as a whole
There will be a Drinking Liberally Music Jam Night sometime this summer! (I LOVE this prediction!)

Steve
No Supreme Court Appointments barring death

Mark
Congress issues subpoenas. Investigations will reveal juicy material and Nancy Pelosi will have the balls to do something about it!!

Barry
Democrats will NOT do anything with gun control legislation

Mona
Bush will be impeached

Group as a whole
No tax increases

Our challenge to you!
What are your predictions? Please write a comment and let us know! We will discuss them at the next DL get together!
