Poll question: What will the Bush Junta do if they are losing this fall?
Edited on Mon Jan-19-04 06:41 PM by kaitykaity
I wouldn't put anything past these criminals,
so I want to get it on the record, just what do
we think they are capable of. We already know
what they've already been willing to do. For them,
it's win at all costs.

I hate these people. They are evil. What do you
think they will do?

On edit:
What combination of these? (Please post?)

2. I wouldn't be surprised if they pulled a Gulf of Tonkin on Syria.

They'll never get public support for another invasion, but if they can make people believe that we've been attacked by Syria, they can kill 3 birds with one stone.

1. commit the US to another PNAC invasion
2. scare the public
3. get elected

3. They will do...
... whatever they do very methodically, just like Hitler. If you read the history of Weimar Germany (and the rise of Hitler) you will discover that he gained absolute power through completely legal (i.e. as prescribed by German law at the time) means, one step at a time. When he reached the bounds of legal conduct, he had laws altered to suit his needs (sound familiar?).

In this particular case I'm not sure that absolute power will concentrate on one person, but rather whatever person fills the chair (currently *, in the future who knows?).

8. Yeah, way behind in polls
as of election day. Exit polls show he's losing, but the returns show he won by a huge landslide.

so to speak.

7. The timing of whatever options: near 8/12/04 - 8/14/04
after the Dem nominee is rolling and just before the Repub convention, and also when Virgo is positioned above Washington,DC (see book by David Ovason with title about the Architecture of DC)

11. If Bush & Co. are behind in the polls in the fall --
--maybe they'll send Chuck Norris to go to all the blue states to whup liberal butt.

I think a lot of people on this thread have good reason to be suspicious of the BFEE, but this time I think voters are too distrustful to be too pro-Bush. The man lost in 2000 and has governed arrogantly. The Iraq occupation is not going well. The economy is good at the top, lousy at the bottom. The vice president is a clandestine thug. The attorney general is a deranged moralist. The Defense Department is crammed with corporate hacks.

And Dubya is such a goddam moron.

If they're behind in the fall, Chuck Norris is their last hope.

12. The right wing congress will refuse to certify the election results
They'll drag it out for months, with court challenges and investigations and such, and they'll hope that we forget that we won the election.

13. There will be another attack, they will declare martial law, and suspend
the elections. The planted WMD's will be found, OBL will be brought out of whatever hole they're hiding his tired old ass in, and the Supreme Court will declare monkey man Emperor-for-Life.

15. Whatever it takes
So who knows.

They will do whatever is necessary to keep Americans whipped up in a state of "patriotic" fear.

17. Combination, ultimately BBV games
A few thousand votes in critcal states is all it takes. One thing that is downplayed is how easy it is to supress voting. Roadblocks, purges, "malfunctions", agressive poll watchers, misleading fliers, a "confused" voter to slow down the line by showing up at the wrong precinct. Make the lines slow in strongholds for the opposition. Make it hard for people who have to get to work or back home to watch the kids.

19. they will do (and are already planning or executing)
all of the above that will ensure their victory.

I think criminal proceedings (the very crisis of government they allegedly feared in 2000) or a more or less violent civil war will be necessary to remove them.

Either that or an actual 80-20 win at the polls that even they can't mask.
