What will it take?
What will it take for a majority of Americans to turn against the Shrub? Since his 'mandate' was razor thin, if there at all, it won't take that many people. But what will do it?

Instituting the draft?

Destroying Social Security?

Something else?

1. Economic collapse
Most people are isolated from the troubles of others. It doesn't exist on their radar. Thus until such a time as their own prosperity is destroyed they will be suscetible to their gilded cage.

3. When their prosperity is destroyed they might finally blame Bush.
That or nuclear war on American soil.
That would wake 'em up.

2. I think both the thing about SS and a draft....
even though I'm one of those people who right now thinks that those who really had no point in voting for Bush are RETARDED, I think they may still come around to the bright side one day soon.
