4 more years of * - what's the best possible?
I have tried to figure out what the Bushies are hoping for when they go to vote for Too Stupid.

Someone explain to me what they think life in America will be like in 2008, given four more years of Rove rule. I mean, honest to God, are they going to vote for him because if they don't, Saddam will nuke us? Someone who has some insight into the mind of a Repug, tell me what he/she thinks life will be like here if Bush gets four more years.

4. From what I gather, this is what pro-Bush people see...
(Don't shoot the messenger)

Bush finally did something that other presidents should have. He backed up our nation's threats with actions. He doesn't back down. He went after the terrorists and with only minimal military deaths has the terrorists captured and cornered. Three fourths the leadership of Al Qaeda have been captured or killed, for example. Because of Bush's actions, Saddam cannot threaten anybody anymore and Libya has backed off of its WMD program as a direct result of Bush's policies. He provided true leadership after 911 and has ably led our nation through one of the most troubling times in our history. He supports our troops and is one of them.

Bush is a plain spoken true leader, not a policy driven Washington insider wonk. He has faith in God and is not afraid to be guided by it. He cuts taxes to choke off wasteful Washington spending and is working hard to ensure that the gay and liberal agenda is not furthered by activist judges. He is one of us and he would never disgrace his office with immoral activities like the last president.

Bush cuts through the B.S. of the environmental extremists whose lies have threatened the growth of United States businesses. His policies have are bringing us out of a horrible economic slump brought about by the excesses of the last administration.

7. But what will 4 more years of that leave us with?
I have some cloudy ideas of what it may be like, and I don't think I want to be around for it.

I can't think about it. It's just to horrible to think about. all I can think of is "Leave the last bullet for yourself..."

9. Four more years would be horrible...
..even for conservatives (unless they're very rich).

The courts would get stacked with right wing activist judges. We'd approach perpetual war and the environment would be cooked. The middle class would be effectively eliminated and our Constitution would morph into a declaration of doom.

Everything that Bush is doing is geared toward helping the rich survive the coming catastrophes. That seems to be his whole gig.
