Why can't we inaugurate Kerry as the Internet President?

For those of us who still like him. (For those who don't, they can honor the Jan 20 Inauguration for Bush.)

1. We could, but that wouldn't give Kerry the power to nominate

Supreme Court justices or make other appointments.

4. Does that mean we get an internet Congress?

Is this like a cyber-roleplaying game? I've never played a role-playing game period, so I'll just pretend to be an internet Red Stater at first, and just blindly assume that my internet government is just gonna do whatever's in my best internet interest. :)

9. Sort of like a Shadow/Virtual Government?

Why not brainstorm and run with this idea for awhile?

Instead of giving bushie ANY attention -- the alternative event could be held in another city -- blue state.

I'd just as soon everyone avoid DC -- and find another capital in another state -- and set up a Shadow Government -- sort of like the English do.

Have Gore transfer his presidency to Kerry.

As I said -- keep this idea going -- there are many positive ways to spin this -- and the GOPigs don't understand positive.

15. Boston would be appropriate wouldn't it?

I would be all for it!!! Copley Square sounds about right to me too. It's a public square so why not?

12. Why not control the economy, as well?

I think we can also do more damage to the Bush regime by controlling the economy, as well. This coming Friday is generally the busiest shopping day of the year; combat that by refusing to put your money into the economy. This will hurt a lot more if there is a significant loss of income around the holiday season; buy from Canadian merchants where you can.

Although I still would honor Kerry as the President more then I would honor the war criminal. I think this is a similar idea to the Turn Your Back On Bush campaign.

14. Unfortunately I think that hurts Americans as much or more than the admin.

I mean, obviously a bad economy hasn't hurt * too much. I just don't think boycotting American business is going help our cause. Buying American is good. However, buying from corporate barbarian ticks like walmart is BAD BAD BAD. Buy American, but boycott corporate. that way you can help your local economy that actually IS Americans and you can still "stick it to the man".
