What will be Bush's excuse for not leaving office in 2008?
Sure there could be some martial law thing, or a nuQler 9/11, or the flu, or a hangnail, but what else can be done without a Constitutional amendment? Anything?

Anyone got any ideas for Sammy Alito to work on?

They must have something planned.

1. He signed an executive order saying in the name of national security
he can cancel the election. Wouldn't put it past him and with Godzilla as AG and the courts stacked anything can be legal.

6. Yes '09, but he'd have to run for reelection in '08.

There could of course be another puppet installed, but suppose something could be arranged with the Electoral College in all those Red states? How many of them actually allow one person one vote in their state Constitutions? How many Blue states do for that matter?
I don't know the answers but since the US Constitution contains no right to vote for POTUS, it could be a gray area.

Just noticed another thread about this too, independently created. That's scary.

4. Well you know that stuff in the constitution is not binding
They're just suggestions. Gonzo told me all about it. And when I asked Harriet, and 4 judges on the Supreme Court and they agreed. Sam Alito even wrote a secret report to the Federalist Society explaining it all.

5. I'd bet he can't wait to leave.
Go back to the ranch.
Clear brush.
Do some fishing.
Get high.

It's the crime syndicate controlling him making all these decisions. He had a hard enough time understanding My Pet Goat. I doubt he's even read the Patriot Act.

George doesn't know wtf is going on.

8. They'll force him to leave and get someone else
They need fresh blood since other people aren't buying his act anymore. Right now I'm suspecting Allen or McCain. They're the one's doing all the ass kissing lately.

9. I think they will tap Allen. McCain has a mind of his own.
They can trust Allen to do exactly what they tell him.

But remember, this is the same George Allen that tried to stir up a race riot in high school. The California boy who waved a confederate flag and had the flag and a hang man's noose in his Virginia law office. We can't trust him. Real Virginians don't wear cowboy boots.

14. God told him to stay.
Just like God put him in office to be ready for 9/11, so he thinks.
