6. I'm begining to wonder about that, too.
If we still have Diebold/ES&S and other election theft machines in the future--if Americans don't smarten up about that--sure, we'll "elect" more Bushes. Don't ya know, the American people just love getting fucked over with unjust heinous war, torture, a $10 trillion deficit and multiple tax cuts for the super-rich?

15. I'm fairly certain...
... that every Repug president since Nixon only won since the election was stolen. That would include 1980, 1984, 1988, 2000 and 2004.

3. The bush brats'll be back
The masses need royalty to worship,
stars to grovel before,
all who've been voluntarily assigned your power.

10. For free!!
I can pick the airwaves from windy moonlit highland night,
looking out to sea towards Greenland.

The brats are pushing it out, people, hello, hollywood,
gosh i hope they are forgotten... i never want to see
or hear from or about any member of the bush family ever again.

That's my christmas wish. Please santa... never,
i never ever want to see or hear about another member of the bush
family ever again, ever ever ever in time forever, please santa.

Santa surely would send a CIA agent with a sniper rifle to gift
my my wish, so i won't ask too ardently... just firmly.
Always bite the hand that leads.

12. The Bush Brats will be a couple of lushes
Maybe they'll do a porno spread to get some drinking money in a few years. Daddy's not going to be able to give them an allowance from an 8'x10' cell in The Hague.

11. I think America has seen enough of the Bushes.
Junior's legacy isn't about to approach anywhere near the vicinity of positive regardless of how spiffy his library is. The family wanted Jeb on deck first but fate stepped when he lost his first bid for Florida governor in 1994.

16. Considering the fact...
... that we've never elected more than two members of *any* family to the presidency in the past, I think the chances are slim. Not none, mind you, but slim.

(Two member presidencies: Adams, Harrison, Roosevelt, Bush)

17. I don't think this country will ever do that again.
The disdain for Bushes is too large now.

18. Whoever the person is that said "after Bush apologizes"...
.... is outta their cotton-pickin MIND!!!!

So the families of the 2,929 dead soldiers (plus two missing) will just accept the LIARS apology if he decided -- after all this time -- to come groveling?

Good grief... some people..

19. Very likely, at least 30% would still vote for "W" again. Never
underestimate the stupidity of the American people.
