What would happen if * suddenly switched parties?
Edited on Thu Dec-15-05 02:01 PM by Rocknrule
If he left the GOP, became a Democrat, and therefore was no longer above the law, would his base still pledge their souls to him without question? Would the "liberal media" still bend over backwards to kiss his ass and make him look good? Would he still be able to get away with ANYTHING AT ALL, no matter what?

7. He wouldn't live to see the sun come up ...
if he did that.

Half the country wishes he would go away.
Switching parties would just make the other half wish he would go away.

Cheers

8. Can you say "There goes the neighborhood"?
I would have to start looking for a new party or just give up altogether.

10. i'd run screaming away from whatever party he joined, that's for sure
-- and since i don't "get" the shrub's base, i don't have a clue as to what they would do. :shrug:

11. Some DUers would say.. "we must have unity! Support Bush!
They will then compare his record to Delay's and say... well, I don't like Bush either, but he sure beats DeLay...
Seen that crap before.

13. No way in Hell we'd accept him as one of our own
We might refer him to the American Fascist Party, but that's it.

15. imagine if he moved to Canada and tried to become our Prime Minister
Good grief! (Actually, we don't have any requirement for our leaders to be born here, so it's a tad more plausible than me moving to the US and running for President.)

16. I would still think he is as dumb as a sack of shit.



And I would wish him an enjoyable retirement.

17. What would happen if poop was delicious?
I'd eat shit. And when Bush becomes a Democrat, that's exactly what I'll do.

18. Lieberman would claim it was his doing ;)
and some folks would actually accept it, justify it, rationalize it like crazy, and then embrace the war criminal - claiming he "had a change of heart"

it's not the press or Shrub's base I'd worry about in that event...
