Poll question: How Will We Be Treated After The 2008 Election? |
|
In the leadup to the 2004 election we were offered the moon. After the election you'd have thought progressives had leprocy. They abandoned us. "Impeachment is off the table". The war didn't end, it grew.
What can we expect after 2008?

1. I think it will depend on how strong Our Majority is in the House and Senate. |

4. Paradigm shifts can rarely be forecast |
|
we can only wait and see. And in the words of my grandfater, 'hope for the best, expect the worst, you'll take whatever you get.'

6. I think we will certainly be better off with a dem in office. The war will end, but we will have to |
|
keep fighting to see that it is done!

There is no way that any of our Superior, Wealthy, Elites are going to risk THEIR kids' futures and THEIR NECKS for filthy unwashed vagrants with "Impeach Bush" t-shirts on.
If Obama or Clinton is allowed to ascend the Imperial Throne, which I doubt, we will get a brief respite in our transition to the New Totalitarianism (whatever it will eventually be called) and the economy will likely get better but I would expect nothing of significance regarding the transition to tyranny to be addresed.
Our Constitution and System of Checks and Balances will not be restored to health and vigor, no matter who assumes the Throne.
However, if McCain takes the Imperial Throne being offered to him, we will see only the tiniest of abatements of The Good Emperor (at least in comparison) but none of the Bushies now currently entrenched in power will be thrown out nor stop what they are doing, so Amerika wil still be under occupation and will still be moving, just a little less rapidly, towards whatever Final Solutions the Bushies have planned for the "Liberal Problem".

9. Unfortunately I think you only slightly overstated the problem |
|
Otherwise you pretty much hit the nail on the head.
