Some good things - George W. Bush has to clean up his own mess

[yellowcanine]

in Iraq. And also - he is now available for impeachment when all the shit hits the fan over Valerie Plame, Abu Grabe, Halliburton, etc. And we know where to find Karl Rove when it is time to frog march his ass off to prison.

It goes like this:

All hell breaks loose in Iraq.
George is forced to crank up the draft.
The weight of all the scandals and public outrage over Iraq allows the Dems to recapture the House in 2006.
The new Dem. House impeaches George and he resigns after Pubs abandon him.

1. delete

Sorry, didn't read the whole post

[BlueEyedSon]

3. Precisely, and it will un-clean-up-able, at least within our lifetimes

[demokatgurrl]

31. It's not cleanable, and the world and country will suffer. nt

[molly]

2. Sounds kind of like my plan

[BlueEyedSon]

4. Cant impeach if you dont have the House.

[yellowcanine]

13. Need to win the House in '06 and we will if the stars align correctly.

Several things have to happen but it is possible.

Tom Delay resigns over scandals.
Texas gerrymander is thrown out and Dems recapture seats in Texas.
Dems pick up more seats because of scandals of Bush administration and Iraq fiasco.

[Career Prole]

20. Continuing crappy economic numbers. Count on that. n/t

[eleny]

21. Well, he did say that he'd be quacking like a duck in 2 years

[livinbella]

37. BBV will take care of all that.

If we could not do it before, we sure as hell can't do it now.
Scandals don't hurt them. The repug hard press will soon begin.
Hold on to your hat.

16. If enough straight shootin', bed-wettin'

rethug cowards fear enough for their own political careers, it IS possible.

[Doohickie]

26. EXACTLY

It isn't a Democratic House that will impeach. I think Bush will pretty much think he is accountable to no one and push things too far, and that he will eventually trip the theshold where enough moderate Repubs finally say, OKAY! THAT'S ENOUGH! Look for McCain to lead the way from the Senate.

5. Sort of like

knowing that the Germans are going to have to rebuild their country and pay reparations once the Holocaust is over. How comforting.

Shit will NOT hit the fan over Valerie Plame, Halliburton, or anything else. Those things will be completely swept under the rug. If you think the mainstream media failed to inform before, just wait.

[AlinPA]

27. Agree. Total media control. Control over the Supreme Court.

[fishnfla]

6. 4 more years of his crap may help the liberal cause

i agree

[lanparty]

30. Stop calling ourselves liberals ...

The word is DEAD!!! It has been utterly and thoroughly defeated!!!!

[Stephanie]

7. You're my new best friend

Post some more. When's the frogmarch and who's going to prison?

[aden_nak]

8. That'll be a big comfort when I am sweating my nuts off in Baghdad.

Forgive me if I am not thrilled with this prospect. Yeah, Bush sucking down a heavy does of impeachment is amusing, but sadly, I have found myself to be most non-bullet proof.

I think draft numbers should be assigned relative to the way your state voted for President.

[yellowcanine]

22. Yep - that is the downside of all this. No one said it would be easy.

[archineas]

9. and...

he can't say he inherited anything from clinton...

the entire mess is now his. thanks to trickle down politics, it should also start dripping down towards others with that little (r) after their names.

[sniffa]

10. you mean cLean up cLinton's mess

that's gonna take YEARS to use up that excuse

[Child_Of_Isis]

11. You know what they say about the second term....

scandal scandal scandal........

[Minstrel Boy]

12. No he doesn't. He just makes a bigger mess.

With a conservative Republican lock on both Houses, who's going to impeach him?

With Porter Goss heading the CIA, who's going to carry the Plame fight?

[freetobegay]

14. Or add to the mess.

[Career Prole]

15. Exactly. The slender silver lining. You wanted it Chimp? You got it.

Lots of rope to hang yourself with. You've been saying things will get better, you just need more time. Now that you've got it, prove it...you lying POS. We'll wave your failures prominently in your face every day until you're gone. Now...how about those new "good" jobs you promised, dickweed? There's a bunch of us looking for work.
How about that beacon of freedom in the Middle East you've established? You have enough rope to hang yourself with...go for it.

[livinbella]

34. how can you post here every day and still believe bush cares?

He will start right in on at least these areas:
1. eliminate any guise of caring about world Aids
2. eliminate ALL environmental protections
3. place as many absurdly partisan judges as possible
4. privatize (eliminate) health care and social security
5. expand the Patriot Acts (goodbye civil rights)
6. silence all detractors
7. expand the war
8. make tax cuts permanent/absolutely bankrupt the economy

He does not care about this country or the consequences
of his actions. We are in for a horror.

[Richardson08]

17. 2nd term jinx rears it's head

Nixon had Watergate
Reagan had Iran-Contra
Clinton had Monica

Iraq will continue to fail and more U.S. soldiers will get killed for a lost war

[Say_What]

18. Exactly what I was thinking. In the end he will be blamed for

Iraq
Thousands of our kids DEAD
Bankrupt country
Record LOSS of jobs
Taking the US two worlds back to a Banana Empire
etc, etc,

and it will take another Dem president to straighten it out like Clinton straightened out 12 years of RayGun/Bush and like FDR had to straighten out Hoover's mess.

23. Actually this post cheered me up ...

... Thanks! :thumbsup:

[yellowcanine]

25. Glad I could help.

[shanti]

24. who says he HAS to???

at this point i'm very very afraid for this country. he has nothing to lose now.

[one_true_leroy]

28. exactly... four more years,

and the mess is no longer his. why should he care? he gets out, damgae done, and takes his money and runs.

[livinbella]

29. bush will clean up nothing - this country will be scorched earth

it will be more of the same only from now on, no more
Mr. Nice Guy

[woo me with science]

32. No, he doesn't have to deal with his mess....

the young soldiers in Iraq do.

the orphaned and widowed Iraqi civilians do

the children in poverty do.

the old people denied social security do.

the young families who can't afford health insurance do.

we all do.

[grumpy old fart]

33. Lord willing, Indictments and Impeachment to follow...

Now's the time to start turning over rocks and get the bastards behind bars. But who's gonna do it, when the machine is all GOP all the time?

[livinbella]

35. That's NEVER gonna happen

I fear all is lost.

[bamacrat]

36. Could there be another radical "hippie" movement

now like there was in the 60s

[Nicholas_J]

38. ..

[goddess40]

39. Those that voted for the asshole don't see a mess that needs cleaning

bush has no plan to clean up anything - he is going to continue on his present course because there is nothing to stop him.

The people that support him are like the Germans that went to their graves denying that the prison camps existed and that Hitler was good.

[meganmonkey]

40. No, now he has the mandate to ruin our nation further

No more re-election, no reason to act at all like a human being.

[XanaDUer]

41. And that's pretty much all I have concluded will be good about it.

I plan to sit back and enjoy the show.

Kids being sent to Iraq/Iran (insert other oil country here) and you supported *?

FUCK YOU.

Oh, job outsourced, but you're such a fetus lover you voted for the "moral" *?

FUCK YOU.

Need to borrow money for gas/groceries, and you love *?

FUCK YOU.
