How will the next four years go?

[southernleftylady]

what are your thoughts

[NeoGreen]

1. A lot of people are going to die...

under a * regime that would not have died under a Kerry Presidency if all the votes in Ohio are not counted.

[dbt]

2. Straight to hell.

In a handbasket made overseas.

:evilgrin:
dbt

[Avalux]

3. What do you think?

War, death, and the eventual rewrite of the Constitution. Shrub will have his dictatorship.

[pen dragon]

4. Speaking for myself

I'll probably be in a cattle car on my way to Camp Liberty in Indiana by the end of January

[slipperduke]

5. You think we're going to get four?

The way that fucker treats the environment and foreign policy, I'd say that there's a touch of optimism there.

Ah, I don't know. The fucker's been vindicated now. A couple more wars, a US draft, a distinct lack of forests, bad air, hatred breeding hatred and the rise of religious right.

I'll leave the door on the latch, I'm off to New Zealand

[Francesca]

6. devastation

to our economy, environment, constitutional rights, a draft, more wars, we will be hated by the rest of the world and I am personally saying fuck you to the church as I am totally done with them...

[bullimiami]

7. very badly.

bush cannot fix the economy, he will not be able to create jobs, we are fucked in the world with few real friends, probably more wars and I dont know where the soldiers are coming from, hopefully they will let us yap amonst ourselves.

[bowens43]

8. My predictions:

War with Iran
possibly war with Syria
Possibly an invasion of Cuba
Roe-vs-Wade will be overturned
Continued dismantling of environmental laws
The privatization of Social Security
The dismantling of Medicare
Continued deficits
the gap between rich and poor will continue to grow
further consolidation of the media
hatred of the US will continue to grow
fundamentalism , both Islamic and Christian will grow

[bhunt70]

12. I think thats a good list.

[democracy eh]

14. and a constitutional amendment to allow Bush to run again, and again

you can't change horses in a time of war, the war on dissent is a perpetual war
if the Ahhrnold amendment fails

[polmaven]

16. More like an amendment to allow

elections to simply be canceled, by presidential order, in time of war. You see, that way we will save all that money to be able to allow the richest to pay no taxes at all, which will, of course, create billions of jobs, which will ..um.. oh yeah ... which will allow us all to buy war stuff to send to the war zone. 'Cause the war will be "privatized" so we can all sacrifice toward the effort and that way the war will never be won and no elections will ever have to be held again........Um, see?

[DIKB]

9. You thought these past 4 years were bad ?

They were nothing. These next four (if * takes it) will be w/o the fear of another upcoming election, unchallenged support of congress, appointment of fundamentalist neocon Supreme Court Justices.

In short, we are in for a deep dark spiral into HELL.

[Iris]

11. I think I'll get my tubes tied. eom

[m berst]

10. hard to say

We have never quite had anything like this, or even been able to imagine it. The most radical changes ever are coming, I think. We are living under one party rule, with no balances or restrictions. This is uncharted territory.

[demgurl]

13. Do you want to know what Rush thinks?

If you want cold hard reality of what Rush thinks then this is a paraphrase of what he said on the radio the other day.

He talked about the insurgents and how they are like cockroaches. He asked if people knew how hard it is to exterminate cockroaches. He said that they would even survive nuclear holocausts. Rush explained that we were going to have to face facts and step up our weapons and get really serious. He said it was time to stop using the conventional weapons we had been using.

Rush said he could not wait to see what will happen when Bush wins because then Bush has nothing to loose since he does not have to worry about a re-election campaign and can get really serious about the war!!!

Rush stopped just short of saying that if Bush wins, he can't wait to see him nuke Iraq!

This is one of the scariest things I have EVER heard. If all of this comes to pass then we should brace ourselves because I do not think the world will stand by idly and watch bullies pick on a country who is not (and never has been) a threat to us!

[HysteryDiagnosis]

18. he can't wait to see him nuke Iraq!

He didn't say it... but he is planting seeds in the minds of people for the administration... prepping them up.... making them consider the possibility.. (for our security's sake) preparing them to lie down as they already have done whilst war criminals plot their moves.

Rush is as evil as they come.

[da_chimperor]

15. It'll basically be a disaster. Here's what I think:

We'll start a war with Iran
We'll have to initiate a large-scale draft
There'll be another 9/11 style attack
The US will become more and more isolated from the rest of the world
Oil will be priced in euros
The Dollar will weaken by around 50%
The US economy will sputter along with low growth
Unemployment will stay around it's current level
More people without health care
More people living under the poverty line
A full appointment of ultra conservative supreme court justices

This is just a sample. Let's just say I'm not going to be spending much time in America in the next 4 years.

[midnight armadillo]

17. YOu forgot one

Chief Justice Antonin Scalia.
