BUSH & ROVE "About To Run Into Worst Nightmare" (Fitrakis & Wasserman)

Election Issues

The power of a social movement can beat the GOP double Chickenhawks
by Bob Fitrakis and Harvey Wasserman
November 2, 2006

It's never been more true that the one thing we Americans can say with pride about George W. Bush is that we have never elected him president of the United States.

And while Bush and Karl Rove crow that they're about to "win" again, we think they are about to run into their worst nightmare: a full-blown grassroots social movement.

..................

We have taken our democracy for granted for too long. Merely voting is no longer enough.

It won't be easy to restore and update the free election process that is our legacy. But we have seen the consequences of two consecutive un-elected presidencies. We know what we're up against.

And we know there is no alternative to winning, however long it might take.

5. Maybe he will "die", just like Kenny Boy.
Then he can join his friend in Paraguy along with all the others that "he never knew".

11. Oh come on, what could possibly make
chimpy make sideways? Even if he's impeached he has Paraguay to run to and can live in a nice house there with his ill-gotten gains. He'll run away instead of even thinking about killing himself, IMO.

7. I hope you are right, and he does it while they are still counting the votes
on Tuesday.

Maybe they are already digging Dick Cheney a light-proof bunker there too.
