Reply #24: Yep. He's our next Emperor. I really thought it was going to be Ahhnold.

But he proved to have about 10% independence of thought from the Bushies, maybe as high as 20%.

Too much. Fred ThomBush will be the perfect frontman for evil.

And just wait until the Bushie Sub-Media & Lie Laundry playing Pied Piper to the pathetic MSM with their lies and half-truths, and don't forget those crucial omissions that alter meaning, Loyal Bushies!

I cannot see anything that will play out much different than it did in 2000 and 2004. same media script, new bullshit but it will all seem very familiar in...shape, shall we say.

The Bushie vote rigging & stealing & minority intimidation is still out there and in full force. A little more watchfulness form our side, but with no Party support (we're crackpots, you see, in spite of being proved correct again and again and again...), and you have to figure the Bushies are aggressively edxpanding their wildly successful voter suppression programs for minorities and vote stuffing that gave Bush his win "in the cities" :rofl:

Then Jeb, I suppose, but who knows what the exact details of the future will be, only that there is a VERY strong chance that Amerika will finish turning totalitarian/Bushie and like the Roman Enpire, NEVER go back to Liberty until the angry descendants of it's victims finish it off after it's weakened, just like Rome.

I say this only because ALL Empires wind up like this, and once Old America died that is what we ARE. Therefore, it stands to reason OUR tyrannical and undemocratic Empire will go the way all the others did.

Why not? Stripped of it's Constitution, Bill of Rights, and Strong Free press, Amerika is just another Empire in a series of many, some worse.

Oh the shame and pain of having to aknowledge the truth of that last statement. When I think of all the great hopes for humanity the Old American Republic carried until the Bushies killed it, it is incredibly heartrending. To think this is how the creation of Washington, Jefferson, Franklin, and Madison perishes at the hands of monsters whom the Founding Fathers would be in armed revolt against RIGHT NOW, if they were alive today.
