What happens if * wins?
With all this info finally coming out about Iraq and the economy and the myriad other Bush lies, what kind of administration can he even have? Everyone's seen what a lightweight he is intellectually. Even the RW-ers are beginning to preface their support with, "Well, he isn't the brightest bulb in the box, but . . . " How can we survive four more years of a president who is not respected by his own people? I just can't really imagine it.

1. Oh Canada! My home and native land. . . (j/k)
Nah, I'd joke about it, but mostly what will happen is a lot of rioting and such. Especially if Bush wins 5 to 4 again.

3. The conservative movement will be set back for a hundred years.
Bush is destroying the republicans whether they want to admit it or not. From the beginning he's been a reckless spender, has trampled on states rights, and has ostracized moderates.

If Kerry doesn't get elected the republicans can blame no one for the mess that will hound the White House. That being said, hopefully Bush goes back to Crawford.

6. There's got to be some trepidation on the RW leadership's . . .
. . . part about that very thing. Bush is KILLING them politically. Even if me manages (God forbid) to squeak out a win - it may be a Pyrrhic victory. sp?

5. Oh Canada is right!
Edited on Fri Oct-08-04 03:36 PM by kerryin2004
I will not put up with another 4 years of his shit..I am going to head North, and I have already started learning french so that I can meet their immigration requirements..I cannot live in a country that has politicians blatantly lie about reasons for going to war, and then lets them get away with it. We all know how many soldiers have died, but never is anything spoken about the children that have died because we got it wrong. It is really sad because I love my country, but I dont like the greed and corruption which is especially prevalent within the GOP.

7. You mean what happens if Bush steals the election again?
....Bush never won in 2000, he will not win in 2004. The only way that he'll get enough votes is to steal or cheat and that's what must be prevented. I say hit the streets if that happens until the government uncovers the corruption and fraud and places Kerry in as the legitimate president.

8. You would think . . .
that if he couldn't carry the popular vote in 2000, and with everything coming out lately about his incompetence, why would he get MORE votes? Just due to the incumbency?

10. He can't really win
My basic view of this election still hasn't changed:
-bush lost in 2000
-bush will have a net loss of total votes

I believe we've already won the election, its just a matter of making sure the votes get counted and the media reports it. There is absolutely no way bush can win this one legitimately. We know he has no support among the left, and even many righties are going to stay home or vote Kerry. We also know the voting machines where designed for the purpose of stealing the election, and that the media is in the service of the neo-cons.

We can't let them steal it again. If they try to crown bush the winner, we simply have to not accept it. What we do from there, I don't know. Probably gather some huge emergency democratic convention or something.
