I wish we could have a "Caretaker Government"

or something like it. Wish we had some legal provision for it. Have some wise former presidents or governors handle things until 2008.

1. How do we decide

who's wise? that's what elections are supposed to be for. If Chimpy is removed, Cheney takes over. If Cheney is then removed, Hastert. Although neither will be removed as long as Hastert is in the succession.

The system has worked well for over 200 years, and it will survive the Bush regime, too. And, of course, we have to win in 2008.

2. Well given what Diebold has done in the last 2 elections.. I don't

feel so optimistic.

3. Yeah, I've

sorta noticed on this board. But I think you're too pessimistic. Sometimes you take a few steps back before you can go forward again.

Still, while you were not the original poster I asked this question of, do you know how we decide who the "wise men" are that will take over when we bring down this vile and corrupt regime of neo-cons??

4. I wish I was being a Debbie Downer, but given what we know about

Diebold and the way they are getting into more and more states, it's a valid concern.

I have no idea how to decide who will take over after the junta is gone. I mean, I would love to just take the CBC and plug them into various important posts, but it doesn't work that way.
