Do you think that bush will work with the dems if they win or..

[butterfly77]

will he pretend as though he is. What will he try to do? I think that he will play some type of game like he did when he asked for the former Secretaries of Defense that he asked to come to the whitehouse. I also believe that he and cheney will try to involve them in some type of scandal unknowingly, I do not trust these crooks...

[seabeyond]

1. he wont pretend, and he isnt going to n/t

[cautiouslywaiting]

7. I agree

I don't think he's going to work with anyone.

[BOSSHOG]

2. If they lose less then 30 seats in the house

He will claim that as a mandate for his outstanding plans to lead the nation and the world.

[MannyGoldstein]

3. No. But the "Dems" Will Work With Him

Keepin' that powder dry, you know.

[porphyrian]

4. The question is will he work with the special prosecutor? - n/t

[butterfly77]

6. Cheney said that he would not answer to a supenoa..

so I guess that is a answer to that question. Bush thinks that he is god or a king and he thinks no one can tell him what to do...

[porphyrian]

10. That' one hell of a delusion to have shattered in your face. - n/t

[Bad Penny]

16. that's why his petulant hissy fits of the recent past

will seem like cherished moments of a happier time

[butterfly77]

20. I hope he dosen't start drinking again....

[TallahasseeGrannie]

5. He is, after all, a politician

He'll work with them to a certain extent.

But he's already limping anyway.

[Double T]

8. NO. The manipulator-in-chief will undermine the Democrats at every.......

opportunity. THESE corrupt criminals are NOT people to EVER, EVER. EVER be trusted!!!

[butterfly77]

11. I am hopin that the Dems understand that ...

and never,never ever trust these liars...

[Richard Steele]

9. According to his "signing statements", Congress is just for SHOW anyway.

Nope, he's gonna expand into full-blown DICTATOR mode,
to whatever extent he can.

[AndyTiedye]

12. He'll Only Work With The Boll Weevils

[meatloaf]

13. He can't work with a Republican congress, so there's no hope with a Democratic one.

He's a tin pot dictator in human clothing who doesn't know how to build consensus. Someone should start a pool now to set the date when his head explodes or he attempts to declare Marshall law.

[Hamlette]

14. there is a scene in State of Denial

Where Bush talks with Gardner after Gardner returned from Iraq (he was the guy they fired to put in Bremer). Bush goes up to Gardner and says: "the way I see it, I can be out there on the law with the press kissing their asses, or I can be on Capital Hill kissing the asses of Congress or I can come over here and kiss your ass." (words to that effect)

So, with a loyal GOP Congress he considered talking to them to be "kissing ass" so I don't think he's going to give a shit about who's in charge.

As Card said in the book, its all about Iraq. There is not much for Congress to do about Iraq (except investigate the shit out of it) so when it comes time for Bush to get something he wants, he'll be pissed and mean and he'll go to Fox and say "those damned dems."

(Which is why I think the most visible Dem investigation should be war profiteering. It's an issue I think will piss off Americans "our boys are over there without armor dying and Halliburton is ripping us off?")

[kimmerspixelated]

15. Bush doesn't play well with others.

And certainly not with Dems!!! This will be a living hell for him, that is , if he had a conscience, but the constancy of the Dems demanding to know the truth, desiring accountability and oversight, well, all of these things will absolutely just bring out the very worst in little lord pissypants. And since he is too stupid to just resign gracefully or run off to Paraguay as rumored at first, he will have major big meltdowns for all the world to see, so I am getting my big popcorn kettle ready, cuz this will be good, but the bad news is that if he doesn't choose that route, well, then it's time to invade another country!!! Come on Down!!! Or, hey let's round up all those snotty Democrats and put them in concentration camps, cuz "I'm the decider, so I'm gonna decide, alright!"

[Bad Penny]

17. or...it'll be time for a six month vacation

at crawford while the rest of washington deals with the unfortunate anthrax spill in the house of congress

[butterfly77]

19. I didn't want to say it but...

this has been what I have been thinking or some other November surprise... sometime after the election.

[butterfly77]

18. I've been waiting for this for so long...

I want to see how he will react. I ready set recorded...

[WinkyDink]

21. No. Ix-nay on the ompromise-cay. Cheney will just dig in his heels.

[rug]

22. Only if there's a Proffer Agreement.

[mentalsolstice]

23. Hell no!

I don't know where I read it, probably Newsweek or New Yorker, but the repub congresspeople were complaining that this was the most isolated administration that they have ever had to work with. Whereas, other presidents have regularly invited the congressional leadership to the the WH, this one has not. Me thinks we're in for one helluva hissyfit from Chimpy for the next 2 years (if they don't haul him off a la "Hannibal Lector" first).
