2. BFEE - can probably change that - they change and are above
all other laws - don't think that will stop them - with diebold on their side - they are stacking the three branches of government and that will be on the chopping block next - I have become very cynical - the dems seem to be in cohoots with this gang - they are all talk and very little action - and continue to roll over and believe - maybe it will be different this time - and then it isn't and they say - oh if I had known this 'idiot' would start a war -

well we all knew it before he was installed the first time - AAAArrrrggghhhhhh

4. i think if they can replace him with another of their own, they'll
they'll leave the law alone.

all they have to do is put Cheney, Bush III, Rice, Rumsfeld..... any of those folks in office and it's just the same as what we have.. they don't have to keep Bush there.

6. i don't know about that--if there is a "move afoot" but i keep
thinking that we'll get another "terrorist attack" (how convenient) and congress will repeal the two term law, and ... low and behold!... bushy lands either the "opportunity" for a third term (and voting is rigged again) or all voting is suspended and he just gets to stay--for the sake of NATIONAL SECURITY (of course)

and then...martial law is put in place (for our safety), habeas corpus is suspended (also for our safety) and suicide rates skyrocket!

7. During Katrina,over 20 states had been declared
"states of emergency" ~influx of evacuated People,expected landfall areas,there were several different reasons,mostly weather related.
I had to pray through, I just knew that sucker was gonna declare himself Lordgodbush of all time.
Then when the hurricane-RECOVERY-DISASTER unfolded, I heard Mr.bush didn't want to be King,unless Gov.Blanco 'federalized' all of LA. I need to study this some more..between posse comitase,executive orders and bein' all unitary executive on us,I don't trust 'em to leave,ever.
What are they still doin' in office,anyway?? IMPEACH!

5. if it was repealed...
And if the voting process was fair and transparent, Bill Clinton would kick W's butt.

(I know that's a couple of big buts...)
