Let's consider Plan B if recounts fail to unseat George
Plan B looks like a fair amount of fun as we watch George try to deal with all the spinning plates.

According to experts and our own savvy DU-ers, the economy is going to melt down in 2005-6. The real estate market is going bust, the stock market is going south, the dollar will be even more in freefall, and half of the middle class will be thrown into poverty.

And with any luck at all, more info will come out that is worthy of impeachment of Bush.

Perhaps Kerry knows with 80 percent certainty that the path ahead for George is absolutely ruinous. Perhaps he knows through his foreign policy people that a serious whup-ass is coming for George, and that the public will turn on him.

It might not be so bad for us to let events take George down. Events that he put into play himself.

This could be our consolation prize if the recounts don't rewrite the election.

1. I'd rather see the human race either grow up or fsck off.
I say nuke this planet like a marshmallow so we can all suffer the same fate, equally.

Unless everyone wants to grow up and work together, which would be vastly preferable.

6. Plan B has already begun
People are seriously discussing a "People's Boycott" of American companies that got sweetheart deals in Iraq-

http://www.truthout.org/docs_04/112004J.shtml

Kerry is asking everyone to sign his petition to provide health insurance to every child in America-

http://www.johnkerry.com/petition/everychild.php

A PDF of "Why Not to Buy From Walmart" is making the rounds-

And the "Boycott Walmart" meetup site may be useful

3. Dimson will be protected
Just like they are protecting Tom Delay. No chance for impeachment either. Repukes are changing the rules on everything. It looks like a giant condom has been fitted over ALL repukes.They can play and don't have to pay. What a country we live in. :crazy:

4. It won't mean dick...
as long as bush cronies make the vote counting machines and the state run media stays in his back pocket. 2006 will truly be the end as the fascists get a filibuster proof Senate and a shiny new puppet in the white house. Exaggerating? Think about it.

5. We need to put the same level of energy and enthusiasm into every scandal
as we have put into the BBV/fraud/stolen election effort.

Bush has already perpetrated dozens of impeachment quality actions right out in the open. The media just lets the stories go past without any comment, or it give the tiniest gloss of superficial coverage.

But, provided he is not unseated in a recount, the next Bush scandal should be hunted down and blogged relentlessly on the public Internet until the media picks up the story and does Bush in.

If he manages to evade one exposure, we wait for the next, and we enumerate and research his prior activities that have not exceeded the statute of limitations. There is already enough out there to end his presidency.

7. This will be different than 2000
We didn't have blogs back then. Until they shut them down they can't run away from the truth.

As to plan B- I forgot "Buy Nothing Day"

http://www.buynothingday.co.uk/

And "United For Peace" has a few events planned-

8. Plan B
Yup, Bush, Cheney, and the Republicans stole the election. They rigged the voting machines (actually, Haliburton did it - the contract was worth more than a billion), and they now have the White House, Congress (both houses!) and soon will have the Supreme Court as well. It looks like the Democratic Party will be left wandering in the wilderness for a long, long time. Gee, ain't it just a cryin shame!
