The glimmer
There it is folks. Brush away the tears, for I bear good tidings.
We all know that there are immutable, fixed consequences to certain actions.

We are about to witness, and it will be painful, the consequences. This sis something George W. Bush has never faced before: The consequences of his actions.

Unless I miss my guess ,and I'm a financial professional, the pigeons will come home to roost in the next four years. Spiritually economically and environmentally.

Picture worst case scenario. It's coming. I can't imagine the house of cards that Bushco has built will last the next four years. The signs are everywhere. You can only ignore them because you don't want to face the truth.

America will be in ruins after this four years coming, and the legacy will be that such extremism as we are witness to currently will be banned from the political body for several generations.

It's coming. It's the cure of all consuming fire as all this shit they have been hiding to get reelected catches fire. Sure we're all on the Hindenburg with them but take delight in the horror on their faces as the neocon dream conflagrates in ultimate meltdown.
It will be sweet revenge. I always thought being the financial power of the world was over rated. Welcome to the new England, the new end of empire,the new life.

I love the smell of napalm in the morning. Smells like VICTORY........

2. Nader was right in that sense, that it would take extremism to wake us
us all up. He wasn't even a factor this time. It was all the junta's doing so let's place the blame there.


And maybe, just maybe, like many nations in the EU we will struggle out from beneath an oppressive regime and build a solid social democracy.

Keep hope alive!

3. It's just going to be so weird to watch it come undone
Especially when we had a chance to stop it.

4. The ONLY silver lining
is they have to face their own mess. You can't spin the next four years. Repubs own this government, let them take responsiblity for the deficits, high interest rates, war, environmental disaster. It's all theirs. Let them rescind Roe v. Wade. Restrict birth control. It's all theirs.

5. It is NOT theirs, it is OURS..............
These sorts of posts that wish the worst for this country so that 'they' can be shown the error of their ways are more than a little shortsighted.

6. We must continue to fight...
...and have faith in karma. The Bushies have been building up a heck of a lot of bad karma.

7. Unfortuately, we're paying the price, too.
When the economy nosedives, it doesn't just affect those who made it happen.

When the draft is re-instated, it won't only be Bush voters and their children sent off to some hellhole.

When the environment is ripped to shreds, it doesn't just make Rpublicans ill.

I'm sounding extremely un-Christian right now, but I hope Bush and his minions make their "loyal supporters" pay. I hope their children get drafted, I hope they lose their jobs and health insurance, I hope our education system deteriorates. I only wish we didn't have to pay right alongside them.

8. There has been talk in various columns and news articles
that if * was re-elected, there would be civil war in the Republican party, to the point of implosion. It can't happen soon enough for me. I remember growing up with Republicans who made sense, whom I could sometimes agree with or at least respect for the most part. Their party is no longer recognizable, and in spite of how roughly this current incarnation is running over the country like a proverbial bull in the china shop, saner heads are looking at the situation with growing distaste and anger.

It's gonna blow.
