If Palin becomes President, we will see the following happen:


* A slashing of social services by the Government, anything from Head Start Programs to aid to veterans.

* Reduction in spending in the sciences, in the areas of Physics, Astonomy, probably NASA budget would be cut, etc.

* Increase in funding for "faith-based initiatives", and that sort,

* The beginning of Federal oversight of funding to libraries, or small business start-ups in publishing, etc.

Who knows?

Maybe she will declare Ketchup a vegetable, Like our "great" President Ronald Reagan!!

9. Or we will be told it was Iranians, so as to start lobbing nukes.
If she becomes President, our world is doomed.

3. Only if it was followed up with a republican congress.

The only thing they could really do was to keep the wars going. We would have to forget about any new thinking about energy or anything else. It would be like going back to 1958.

6. Signing statements. Martial law. Why not?
No one has stood up to them so far.

They have no fear of Congress stopping them.

Not at all.

4. As a gay man, I fear a "homo roundup" for re-training or simply death.
You think I'm kidding.

Those fundies are not above death camps.

10. Uh, no they won't. Kucinich will make noise, and Senator Boxer,
and a few others. And nothing will be done.

Palin will be handed everything she wants on a silver platter.
