Should we start planning a HUGE party for Bush's last day in office?

[Quixote1818]

I can't tell you how ready I will be for a party on that day and if it was BIG and made national news we could send Bush our sentiments on his way out. Perhaps some kind of farewell to the Chimp with parties in every city across the country? In essence just a way to say "FUCK YOU! WE ARE SO GLAD YOU ARE LEAVING" on his way out.

This has been a very dark, disturbing period in American history and it will be time to have a party and be optimistic about our country again especially if we have a Democratic president.

Perhaps it's too early to plan something like this but I can't help but dream about that day. Thoughts?

1. You haven't started?

I've been planning since November 2000.

[El Supremo]

2. What makes you think he's leaving?

I'd only start planning after the oath is given to to a Democrat.

4. But I keep champagne chilled

just in case...

Did I say case?

[rucky]

3. I've already started drinking for it. n/t

5. Depends..

on who wins the presidency. The only way I will have a bit more hope is if the next POTUS is for public financing of elections and actually tries to get that enacted. Action on that issue is one of the main things that could prove to me that the POTUS is interested in changing the system and trying to govern for the good of the whole country and not just the moneyed interests (i.e. corporations). While anyone will probably be better than Bush, without at least a hard push at changing how our current system operates, you will will see more and more "Caution - road ends" signs in regard to the path our country has taken.

6. According to DUers, he's never leaving office.

[skids]

7. I for one will be in the streets yelling...

...the day he leaves office, no matter which day that may be.

[tanyev]

8. Hell, yeah. Only 487 planning days left.

[Quixote1818]

11. I know it seems early but I just saw his fucking face on the news complaining about Move-on

then one of those fucking Freedom-watch ads came on. I almost threw the TV through the window then I thought about how I couldn't' wait for him to be gone.

I am so sick of this ass I just can't wait for him to be gone. Maybe if I am planning a party it will feel like we are getting close and I can dream about sending him off with one big FUCK YOU ASS HOLE!

9. not so fast

I just have this sense of impending doom that just will not go away. With the way this administration has acted I just don't believe they will go quietly or honorably.However if they do go without a fuss I suggest we all go streaking.

10. I'm down with that!!

Shit, I'll be drunk for a week!!

[ljm2002]

12. Absolutely!

I'm envisioning a global celebration...

Seriously. I'll bet if we started spreading the word, set a date, gave it a 24-hour or 48-hour time period (like over a weekend), we could have waves upon waves of photos and videos of people partying all around the world in celebration of the end of Bush's Reign Of Error.

And knowing how much that would get under the skins of him and his coterie? Priceless!

Sign me up!

[Quixote1818]

13. Maybe we could start a website? nt

[ljm2002]

15. Trying to think of a good name for it...

...any ideas?

[kestrel91316]

14. I need to pick up a small bottle of Veuve Clicquot for the occasion,

while my dollar is worth enough for me to do so.......

[KatyaR]

16. I think we need to wait and see what happens next.

I have no doubt that there's a possibility things could get worse. :tinfoilhat: :scared:





I can't believe I actually said that . . . . :yoiks:

[Booster]

17. I'll join your party is you promise not to invite Bush.

[TahitiNut]

18. There's nothing to celebrate unless and until he and Cheney are in prison.

That's NOT hyperbole. It's appalling that this nation allowed them into the White House instead of a Federal penitentiary. Smirk belongs in a padded cell.

[tom_paine]

19. Not so long ago, I would have agreed. But the problem is much worse than Bush himself.

He is just the symptom, the festering pustulent boil that has broken out, not the cause.

Now, seeing how much the vast majority of the Democratic Leadership despises it's own Base and through it, the 74% of Americans with 0% representation, I am no longer convinced that a Democratic Emperor with big majorities in the Imperial Congress is even going to make much headway against the severe and systemic problem occuring in our nation today.

Don't get me wrong, no doubt a Clitnonesque four or eight years (no matter which Dem wins, if it ain't Gore, Edwards or Kucinich, there is near zero chance that any ofthe larger Constitutional issue will be addressed - though as always I hope that I am wrong) is FAR preferable to uninterrupted rape and destruction of America & national disgrace that we live in now.

But I can no longer believe that everything will be rosy if we can just get enough Dems elected.
