Bonehead winning in '04? How is it even possible?
I just don't see it. Check out this article and see if you can see any silver lining for Bonehead and his pirates.

But the President's ability to deflect attention from the sagging economy may be diminishing. Congress is unlikely to pass more tax cuts before next year's election. "This was the President's last use of fiscal policy," says Bob Brusca, chief economist at Native American Securities. "He has taken his last fiscal bullet and shot an innocent bystander."

1. Don't forget to factor in stupidity!
The Press is Cheering about the stock market! The TV is saying,"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH LIFE IS GOOD!"

2. Goebbels v2.0, auditless "voting" machines
Not to ention Cyber Jim Crow and any other number of well-established Totalitarian Disenfranchisement stratagems already tested to perfection in 2000 and 2002.

But, in the end, the glaze-eyed weakness of the Imperial Subjects of Amerika is the driving force here. Their (our) inability to feel anything (beyond our personal sphere) unless the TV tells us 12 times
the TV tells us 12 times
the TV tells us 12 times
the TV tells us 12 times
the TV tells us 12 times

is what has ended Liberty and the Rule of Law and the Constitution and the Bill of Rights, more than any single thing the Emperor's Minions did.

3. Well, how about this scenario?
What if Amerikan TV keeps its lips firmly glued to bu$h's ass, showing him in his flight suit 24/7 and taking poll after slanted, cooked poll that shows his popularity at all-time highs? And never is heard a Discouraging Word?

What if the TV pundits keep chuckling and rolling their eyes every time the word "Democrat" is uttered?

Speaking of Democrats, what if they keep falling all over themselves to give bu$h ANOTHER PASS because they're afraid they'll be laughed at on TV (which they will, regardless of what they do)?

What if yet another election is stolen in broad open daylight by Republican thugs emboldened by the way they got away with the last time?

And what if MoronAmerika keeps believing everything it sees on TV?

:freak:

4. Good points, dbt.
Especially your remarks about the media. Aside from the obvious bias, there's a new trend I've been noticing; nobody in the media today can manage to say "Democrats" without using the words "in trouble". Mainstream media seems to be "preparing" the public for a Democratic defeat in 04'. We're being primed.

5. Define winning
I believe it quite possible that bushsucks* may be sworn in again. He didn't win the first time either. Let's put it this way: bushsucks* is unelectable, always has been, always will be.
