How will * supporters react when/if Bush is impeached or leaves office?
Mass suicide? Riots in the streets? Random shooting rampages? Catapulting themselves into buildings a la South Park? They don't just support him, they see him as on the same level as God Himself. They will not react peacefully when their prophet is no longer in power.

1. They'll salute
President Cheney.

Better to think about winning in 2006, then worry about how to use your power.

2. Some will go postal, I'm sure
You know the type, the unstable SOB who gets loud when he's had a few and starts screaming about libruls ruining the country at the office Xmas party or the loony who screams "DORKSIDE" when confronted with something reasonable but outside that church experience.

Most will retreat, snarling, and eventually be heard mumbling nasty things about Clinton into their pureed peas at the old folk's home.

11. hee hee hee
Great response, but my bad news is those 12 are in my family, good news, they aren't rioters, bad news, I haven't been able to reach any of them except one, and I think she just doesn't vote at all now to keep peace with her husband. Good news, I'm still working on it!!

5. How could we have known he was crooked ?
There were no warning signs. We were not told what he was like really.

If it's anything like the last 6 years they will be in a state of complete denial.

They will make the inhabitants of Sunnydale look like they have total recall.

6. They'll just blame Clinton.
Clinton's cock, Hitlery, blah blah blah, we've heard it all before. Then OxyRush will let them know what their opinions are and they'll repeat his talking points loudly and ad nauseum.

7. They'll blame the media and Liberals
Right wing blogs and magazines (etc) already talk about how you can't trust the Liberal Media at all, how the Media are lying about everything and just out to get Bush, etc.

The scary thing is that they were saying this even when Bush was popular and when he was still a media darling.

9. Who cares?
Their entire life is usually an act. Always trying to look like something they don't have the guts to be! 100% Bullshit! War heroes who were too busy to go to the war!

12. Just to save the mess
I hope they will be courteous enough to beat each other to death in a compost pit. I know I don't want to be scraping them off the street and I'm sure you don't want to either.
