So, How Long Before W Takes Us Down? Predictions?

[smirkymonkey]

Now that he is "officially" in, with a delusional "overwhelming mandate," how long do you predict it will be before this country is entirely unrecognizable as a free and democratic nation?

Come up with a timeline, if you wish...

I say an attack on Iran is next up, followed by a gutting of all social services and v-chips planted in our brains by September 2005 (only partly facetious :) )

1. The shit will hit the fan on April 20th or October 27th

Bush has a strong sense of history.

He may also choose October 27

2. forgive me for sounding ignorant, but please let me know the significance

of these two dates...

3. Hitler's birthday and Kristallnacht

eom

5. Hitler's Birthday or Kristallnacht?

Do you think even knows what those dates are? What do you think he'd do? Would he go so far as to round up all the "liberal troublemakers" or Muslims in an American Kristallnacht?

I was thinking more of a time span, such as "we will be at war with Iran by June 2005" or "we will all be working for minimum wage by the end of 2008."

4. It already happened. How long until we take it back?

1) Terror attack
2) Unlimited dictatorial power
3) Absurd, costliy, harmful war
4) Two stolen elections
5) Complete control of the media

OK, now what's left? Physical anhilation.

57% of the world disapproves of BOTH * foreign policy AND American citizens. Oh, just wonderful.

We either take things back in a big way or the disaster just rolls on. I think that we're about out of luck overseas and we'll start paying the price in $$$'s. US goods and services sales down in Europe by 20%; reason given in marketing surveys, protest against American government.

6. You know, I really believe that this Administration thinks it is

beyond reproach and that they will try to get away with as much as they can AS FAST as they can.

Physical Annihilation? Of dissidents or "enemies of the state?" I used to think that was preposterous. Not anymore.

9. ...of the whole world.

Australian Nobel Prize winner Helen Caldicott said that the re-election of * poses a risk to the survival of the human species through 2008. How about those apples. She's referring to a nuclear incident/war but I think that the eco-catastrophes coming down the road may be irreversible. Thanks * and thank you, oh so much, * supporters/voters.

7. Takes us down?

How much lower can we, do we have to, go?

8. Y'know Somethin'? Ain't Gonna Happen.

There are too many of us, we're too smart and creative, and I am really, REALLY thinking that today, this very moment, right here and now, is the apex of their power - and it's all downhill from there.

I mean, I'm ready to face the bastards down, and it looks like everyone else is, too. Today recharged our batteries, and as Bono once sang, I'm ready ... ready for the laughing gas ... ready for the crush ... ready for what's next.

Bring. It. ON!

10. I hope not, but they've got the arsenal on their side

and I don't think they are afraid to use it.

I weep for the future.

11. He's not taking us down

buy blue, or buy nothing at all. The only thing they care about is profit; don't give them any.

12. It hasn't happened already?

What are you/we waiting on - a third stolen election?

[smirkymonkey]

13. Am I the only person who thinks that things can get worse?

Look at what he's done in the past 4 years?

Now that he doesn't have to worry about reelection, I don't think anything will stop him from carrying out his diabolical "holy" mission.
