Said it before, say it again: even if Bush wins, he's toast.
His extremity has unwittingly borne a movement. We have enough evidence to impeach, he'll have to answer to a pissed off majority, and a stronger Dem presence in the Senate and Congress will utterly paralyze his previous swaggering force of will. He knows it too. This is gonna be like Nixon '72.

The energized liberal majority in the US will only become stronger and larger. This vein of activism will only become more organized, more determined, more potent.


Remember, if he wins: so what. He's going down. He'll never finish his second term.

11. I can see it.
A CIA that hates his guts, and a republican party that he has pretty much destroyed. Oh yeah, I can see it.

18. Exactly.
Remember Buchanan's threat of a "civil war" within the GOP? Count on it.

3. stronger Dem presence?
Have you been looking at the Senate results?

Puh-leez. Let's just hope for a Kerry victory. Deranged impeachment scenarios are junk.

8. No, Bush will ram a rightwing agenda down our throats.
We're going down, at least until our representatives finally start to challenge him on fiscal policy and Iraq.

15. They will.
They know they have to start actually representing their constituents.

I know that not many Senate seats changed, but I'm optimistic that Bush's ability to govern as if by divine right will be taken away from him.

10. I disagree
If Bush wins, he will never be impeached by Congress which remains in the hands of the Republicans.

12. Prepare for battle, pray that you don't have to.
Bush is gonna hit the turf harder than Nixon did.

16. Wrong, it is Germany, 1936
The opposition will be crushed. The right wingers will only become bolder.

You and Nader are wrong.

17. exactly, why have him go out looking like a "hero"
'cause you know that's what the 'pubs will say. Total humiliation is what he needs and will get with a 2nd term.. The "humiliation" will of his own doing--that will be the ultimate defeat--worse than losing an election.

20. If he wins this country is fucked
And I completely give up on a system in which these thugs can steal two straight national elections. People can bitch about exit polls all they want; my belief is that the exit polls in Fla. were right in 2000, they were right this time, we're just being boned by these Nazis.

21. with the hegemony over the congress, the courts and the WH
I don't see that at all.

With a win for Bush, the people will surely get what they deserve. That;s about all I can say at this point.

22. Impeachment just isn't possible
As much as he deserves it, a Repub House and Senate (looks like we're losing a seat or two, not gaining) ain't gonna let that happen! We're stuck with C+ thru '08.

What the hell, we haven't had a revolution in some 230 years, maybe we're past due.
