If Bush loses in 2004, what will he do 11/3/04-1/20/05?
He's got to wreck the country even more if he loses, and give the Democratic President-elect a not-so-nice belated Christmas present.

So, what will he do? Who will he go to war with? What environmental laws will he repeal? What good programs will he eliminate?

But I imagine that his handlers have something much more sinister in mind.

3. Steal.
Once he loses the election, Bushco doesn't even have to pretend they're in this for the good of the American people. Look for all sorts of illegal money-grabs. And then Junior can pardon them all on his last day in office.

Can't we? Otherwise, I will be afraid. Very afraid.

Of course, most of the time will be spent dropping Barney and choking on pretzels. Of course.

9. Find some where he can live to stay away from International Court
So that way he doesn't have to go to prison for the atrocities committed in Iraq. Just my thoughts:shrug:

11. The Bushies have shown they are vindictive...
I've wondered about this, too. My guess is that he'll let his buddies complete their looting of the treasury. He might even make a deal with his friends bin Laden and Hussein to carry out some horrific attack on Americans to make the new President look bad. At worst, get us into some nuclear crisis on the eve of the new President taking office. I really don't know, but I don't trust them not to do something utterly horrific.

12. He'll allow or set up another "terror" attack on US soil and then suspend
the change of power for "national security" reasons until further notice. Then he'll manipulate congress to pass an amendment that will declare him "president for life" thus creating a fuedal system and fullfilling a PNAC dream.

He/PNAC will not go quietly.

23. Post refeat
This is the most likely scenario. They'll rally the NRA nuts, the already existing intimidation squads, and destroy democracy forever. Am I over-hysterical?: these 'people' are fundamentalists with absolutely no morals whatsoever.

13. A fantasy about justice
Edited on Mon Sep-01-03 07:18 PM by Jack Rabbit
He tries to stage a military coup.

However, the rank-and-file troops, after having their hazardous duty pay eliminated, after being promised thay will soon go home and then proimised back-to-back duties overseas, after being shot at for the benfit of multinational corporate profits and looking forward to meager veterans' benefits, tell him to go fuck himself.

No, Frat Boy, democracy is not a top-down structure.

20. You're on the wrong website, pal
with all the information at your disposal about Bush and Cheney's ruination of the economy and our country, you're still so damn stupid that you can't process facts.

Please, go away.

29. Don't bash him just because he's in this one instance
Attacking a liberal and defending a conservative. Plus he has yet to even explain what the hell he's talking about.

25. That's an image!

five treegillas, six your best friends carry you out the door.

18. Likely event is that he will try to have the election annulled
via the Supreme Court first.

Then have the SS and Military set up shop around the White House, a la the Russian setup a few years ago.

Failing that, he will start a quagmire, go "peacefully", and scream about what a horrendous situation _ _ _ got us into.

Somehow, I don't see this TPstain leaving nicely. Especially after Drudge and the famous non-trashing of the WH offices.

19. Be a consultant and get paid lots of money
by the Republican contender in a future election for advising the same how to fix the election and perform a coup with the approval of almost the entire country and it's bought and paid for media. Laura , the dull dumbass, will "write" a book on how to bring up equally dumb and dullard, intellectually sparse, twins while lolling about on her fat ass wearing one of her "fabulously" dull and matronly, uninspiring, either colorless grey, or outrageously, colorfully bizarre and manic outfits--how to smile like the joker--may be it's subtitle.

In reality,he will fade off to the aging, old estate in Kennebunkport, go down in history as the president who was not elected and who was the worst president the United States has ever had--rich, rude and crude, mommy and daddy will die soon,leaving him nothing at all as far as claims to privelege goes except for a few greenbacks which will not help him at all--all he will have is his "presidential library" somewhere in that vast, corruptable Texas state, where he will visit now and then, in order to see all of those military costumes he wore while pretending to be a warrior president and he will be left to face his own nothingness--he will not be able to take that he is, in reality, a failure and a nothing, --he will revert back to drinking himself into oblivion for the remaining days of his life. He will write a book that will be equally full of lies as those he told day after day while pretending to be a president. The twins, one of whom will develop an ass as fat as, or fatter than her mother, will marry into privilege and money, but will divorce in short time--too selfish and spoiled to ever consider they may have to compromise in any issue, or ever think of someone else in their life.

26. shredding and pardons is right
just like daddy, he'll pardon every criminal fascist and crooked CEO on the planet.

he'll shred every page of every document relating to energy policy, the justice department, 9-11, anthrax, the "war" on terror, etc.

He'll issue executive orders unenforcing every environmental policy left.

32. additionally
He'll invade Mexico too.


The first act of the incoming _____________ administration will be to decide after an exhausting debate that we cannot withdraw from Mexico and Canada because doing so would cause them to descend into chaos.

38. I'd rather not ponder that thought
The things that he could do and how little restraint he would have in doing them. I'd expect everything from looting the treasury of everything it has to staging a coup.
