A great scenario for our Country
At this point I think the best thing that could happen to this Country would be for the following to happen:

Dick Cheney is forced to resign due to health problems

John McCain is appointed Vice President

George Bush is impeached and forced to resign.

John McCain becomes President and leads the Country for the remainder of the term.

1. Rurallib this is coming to pass?

This is the scenario he posted 6 months or more ago.
Allen from hickville VA is dumb enough and bush enough to step into the VP role and then run for president in 2008 so the neoocons can keep control of the oval office.

2. Great? A "great" scenario?
Try to think bigger. A country with no nukes. A country that disavows offensive military action, cuts its own military budget by 90%, and reconfigures it into a true defensive posture. A country that uses all that saved money to help its own people, and to diversify and re-tool its economy toward sustainable living. A country with a highly talented diplomatic corps whose goals are peace and justice at home and abroad. A country that denies personhood to corporations, dismantles corporations when necessary, and prevents US-based global corporate predators from exploiting others. A country that apologizes to Iran for destroying its democracy in 1953, and offers it a helping hand (instead of nuking it). A country which reforms and reduces its prison system, and uses the $25,000 a year that is now spent on jailing non-violent offenders to give them the opportunity of new lives. A country that ends its failed "war on drugs." A country in which medicine becomes, once again, an act of mercy--and not a hogfest. A country that aims at it being unnecessary to own a handgun to protect yourself. A just country, in which street crime has become obsolete. A country in which education, learning, creativity and ingenuity are the country's top priority. A country that has lively political debates and discussions, along a wide political spectrum, broadcast on our public airwaves as the only programming for six weeks prior to every election. A country in which private money is banished from political campaigns. A country in which everyone has a chance. A country in which every human brain and soul is considered precious and priceless. A good country. A real democracy.

That is a "great" scenario, which we could bring about, once we restore our right to vote--by banishing Bushite electronic voting companies, with their "TRADE SECRET," PROPRIETARY programming code, and virtually no audit/recount controls, from our election system, and demanding transparent elections.

Bush ass-kisser John McCain being "president" of a broken, hurting, disgraced, looted America is not "great." It is merely apt.
