After the election, will Bush swallow his pride or call Dem voters terrorist-enablers?
Just wondering. Right now, by default, all of his remarks aimed at Democratic candidates are also aimed at the people who vote for them. There's no way to look into the crystal ball and "know" what tomorrow's election will bring. If the GOP loses the House and/or Sentate, Bush will be deprived of taking his smirky frat boy victory laps, and I personally think this will seriously tear him a new one. Will he do the "presidential" thing and swallow his pride and say "the people have spoken," or will he have a Nixon-style "Checkers" meltdown?

Discuss.

:patriot:

2. Meltdown
he isn't really an elected President and doesn't have a credible bone in his miserable little body.

5. He'll say, "This changes nothing! I rule by fiat! The congress is
just window dressing!" Or stumbled words to that effect...

6. Is this a rhetorical question?
I think you know we're going to be labeled terrorist supporters and, heck, under his new Military Commissions Act, he might just round all us Democrats up as enemy combatants, and send us down to Gitmo (or the new places scattered around the country).

12. He will craw in a VERY deep hole ...
we have spent the last 3 years with him doing 3-4-5 a day press conferences, trapsing around the country as "campaigner in chief" when he isn't on vacation, in order to shore up the base and keep his 40% mandate ... If the Ds close this deal out and get at least the House, he will crawl in a DEEP hole compared to the last three years, only to crawl out when absolutely necessary to tell the country how horrid congress is ... As noted, he WILL melt down, and his handlers will have to keep him from the public if at all possible ...

16. I just hope it's public. Seems like there has been at least one time
he barely got out of camera range before letting loose.

13. He'll demand they all be rounded up
and tossed into Halliburton domestic internment camps. Disloyalty to the Emperor must be punished.

14. His head will asplode.
He'll have a meltdown of sorts where he has open confrontations with Speaker Pelosi, but the public will be against him.
