If you think it's bad now . . .

wait until bush gets reelected.

He'll be a lame duck at that time and won't have to worry about or pander to any segment of the electorate.

I shudder to think of the possibilities.

1. Huh?

Bush will never be "reelected" because he was never elected to begin with. I'm pretty sure this guy is toast next year, and then he really WILL be a lame duck for a couple of months.

5. Can't you see what a mess he will make in those few months.

First he will have to pardon all the crooks, and they are really scooping the money up from us to give to their big corp,

2. If he gets re-elected.

I keep hoping that IF is the operative word here. Personally, I don't think that Bush can be re-elected legitimately. But they stole the election last time, and they will be trying very, very hard to steal it (if necessary) again.

But if Bush & Cabal remain in office another four years, American Democracy as we know it will be over.

4. It's nice to be here.

I hope you folks are right about him not getting reselected, but I've got a bad feeling he will.

Some things to get ready for:

even higher unemployment

lower tax rates for our wealthy friends and their "high powered dollars"

universal minimum wage for all workers lucky enough to have a job

abolishment of the 40-hour workweek

forget about a woman's right to choose

forced prayer

Ugh, it's gonna suck!

6. i started to say something about prepping for jebbie

but if we let it get as far as re-selection i reckon the "electability" of baby huey is least of our worries.
-they could dump the formalty of elections,
-the black box could bein full use
-term limits could be suspended because of war or somesuch bullshit.

I hadda creepy thought this morning: maybe it really isn't *just* about the oil, about the money. really, how much money can anyone spend?

Maybe it is simply that 'conquering the world" and the attendant boner that provides is what the bfee is all about.
Yeah? well I conquered the world! top *that!"*

poppy's daddy really musta never loved his boy.
