Do you ever wonder if W has no intention of leaving the White House? He's put himself and his friends above the law so many times, what's to stop him from declaring martial law and stopping the election or simply staging a military coup?

When I'm really feeling sick about the whole idea I wonder if half of America will even care -- so long as they have American Idol and McDonald's do they really care who is in the White House?

I may be :tinfoilhat: but I'm also :scared:

1. he can leave
Edited on Sun Sep-21-08 04:12 AM by Two Americas
The job is finished.

Government wrecked and bankrupt, Constitution in shreds, military privatized, elections corrupted, media controlled, unlimited executive powers seized, public infrastructure in a shambles, Wall Street given the keys to the public treasury, perpetual war instituted.

Everyone worries about the terrible things that might be coming. This is it. All the terrible have already arrived. There is no blood in the streets and no people in detention camps, but that is only because no one is seriously or effectively resisting.

Why is there still so much denial about this?

2. He can't wait to leave. Don't look for a lucrative lecture and book career.


My estimation is that he will become a boring
drunk is some Dallas tavern, talkin about the
old days and doing GWB impressions for drinks.
