When does Bush* become a lame duck & the ramifications of? |
|
Sure, I'm being a bit optimistic but at what point in the campaign could Bush become a lame duck? Let say, Kerry is up by 10% or more in August or September, do Americans and the rest of the world start believing Kerry is the next President and ignore Bush and his policies?
Wouldn't it be great to have pundits stop saying what policy or what direction Bush should take on this or that?
Imagine the editorials and talking heads discussing, instead, how Kerry might extricate the US out of our messes.

2. not until after the election |
|
Polls don't win elections, voting does. Unfortunately, the Republicans whip us nearly every time in getting out the vote (at least percentage-wise) so the polls don't tell the whole story.

Republicans always vote, Democrats don't. But luckily, Democrats outnumber Republicans. And Bushco isn't winning with likely voters.

3. Do you remember the '88 election? |
|
The "GOV" was leading by at least 10 points and still lost. I don't want a repeat, again.

5. they'll do everything to try to sabotage Kerry |
|
remember Somalia? That was a Bush sabotage of Clinton
US troops sent in December 1992, AFTER Bush lost the election, into a situation they KNEW would be disastrous.
They did a few other things like that.
These are the same guys who are in power now. It'll be nasty and dirty, believe me.

8. If they do something like that |
|
Kerry should just get on TV and say so. "My fellow Americans" For 16 years, a criminal organization, called "The Bush Family", has been looting our federal treasury." I've issued arrest warrants, by executive order, for all the players involved in this WASP Mafia. We're bringing in auditors to find out how bad the damage is. The debt will be paid off by Republican voters." HAHA
