What 's the first scandal the newly elected Dem president faces?
Edited on Thu Jan-29-04 03:33 PM by linazelle
You have to know that if the winner of the presidential election is a Dem, we will face the same type of investigations of the president that occurred during the Clinton era. If we don't select a candidate that is squeaky clean, all of their good will be overshadowed by phantom investigations and distractions.

What do you think? And what known baggage do the candidates have that you foresee causing problems?

1. I don't think that the country will
stand for another Clinton ordeal. They won't like that. Kerry has been investigated by the GOP for years. No scandal there. Bush loses and the repuks run for cover.

6. I already see signs of it with what they did to Dean
I don't know how it can be avoided.

2. An unpaid parking ticket from 1974...
The media will mercilessly hound the president over it, dredging up allegations of "fixing" and bribery.

a special prosecutor will be appointed to hire an investigator to dig through the presidents glove box in a search for the ticket.

the investigator will discover 2 old barry manilow tapes, a box of kleenex, and a scrap of paper with a phone number, but no ticket, leading to accusations of concealing the evidence.

the phone number will lead to...

oh, somebody help me out here, i've run out of enthiusiasm for this.

4. Whatever lies the Busheviks wish to make up
Whatever half-truths are convenient enough to be trumpet blasted and distorted 24/7 on the Party-Loyal Bushevik Sub-Media.

The particulars, it doesn't matter.

Like worrying just HOW Stalin was going to have Tortsky killed? Would it be by icepick, sledgehammer, drown him in acid, asphyxiation?

The only thing certain was that Stalin was going to kill Trotsky.

Consdiering that Imperial Amerika inches ever closer to being the Free-Market Soviet Union on so many front, and the Imperial Family of Busheviks being much closer to Bolsheviks (with different rationale for their tyranny) than to the Founding Fathers, the Stalin analogy is quite apt.

8. Campaign finance
The current repuke tactic seems to be to strangle the dems air supply. This is money. They will target anything remotely squirrelly in the past election tainted with money.

11. innaugural caterer
will have be found to have employed illegal aliens. gop hack lawyer (and frequent faux new contributor) joseph di genova will be brought in as special prosecutor. he'll find that president kerry/dean/edwards/clark once undertipped at a prominent d.c eatery touching off impeachment proceedings. nytimes will call for full disclosure from the stonewalling white house. unable to convict the senate will settle for censure.
