What's at stake...

What’s at stake…

As we sit here debating Rudy’s abortion stance or Ron Paul’s ideas, here’s a little thought exercise that should clarify what’s a stake for all of us in the upcoming election. Analysts often pursue a worst-case scenario in order to outline the scope of an issue. Here’s my version of such a scenario for 2008:

1. Hillary! wins the Whitehouse.

2. Due to the retirement of key Republican Senators in states with a heavy Democrat base (sorry, I refuse to call them blue states), as well as incremental wins elsewhere, the Democrats not only pick up Senate seats, but win a filibuster-proof majority.

3. The Democrats continue to pick up seats in the House.

Now, here’s the fun part: With total governmental control, what do you think the Democrats will do? Unlike the Republican when they were in power, the Democrats do not worry about imposing their ideas on the country at large. Here are several random, worst-case notions, and I’m sure you can add to the list:

1. Pull out of Iraq, leaving in the wake the same magnitude of damage they visited on South Vietnam in the 1970s. Also, cancel star wars research, and cut military budgets across the board.

2. Raise taxes, and put in place new taxes! Everything from a hefty carbon tax for global warming to new entitlements for everyone except those actually paying for everything.

3. Open the borders! Make America a “Sanctuary Nation” for anyone and everyone who wants to enter the country.

4. Hillary! healthcare: socialized medicine becomes a reality.

5. Settle scores. With everyone from W to Rumsfeld to maybe even you and me, if we fall into their sights.

6. Impose the Fairness Doctrine! No more Rush, Laura, etc. – and perhaps no more Fox News.

7. Stack the court system! From all-democrat attorney generals to packing the Supreme Court (remember, with a filibuster-proof majority, the Dems in the Senate could appoint Barbra Streisand as Chief Justice and get her through) the justice system will abandon original intent faster than Justice Souter abandoned his principles.

8. Abortion on Demand! Just as Planned Parenthood set up an abortion factory in Aurora, Illinois, one will be coming to your town, too.

9. Gay marriage becomes a federally mandated reality.

10. Repeal the Second Amendment.

11. Etc.

Certainly, the above would be the worst case scenario, and there’s no way they could accomplish all of these without feeling the sting of a voter rebuke in two years, but what if they could accomplish just half of these goals, or a quarter of them, or maybe even one or two?

Every once in a while one of our number ventures there for a chuckle.

14. Oh Free Republic. OK :)

During my ventures, I noticed people saying "the site that must not be named", etc. Was wondering what you meant. Thanks :) Sorry if I sounded stupid, still have yet to get the lingo here.

16. Then you must needs visit the DU glossary

and learn not only the inside jokes at DU, but what some of the abbreviations you see stand for. Just go here :hi:

7. In other words, we go back to being the USA!!!

8. Sounds like a good plan

But WTF is this: "Unlike the Republican when they were in power, the Democrats do not worry about imposing their ideas on the country at large." Oh, those saintly, hands-off-others'-lifestyles Repukes. With Dems in control, women, gays, minorities, and non-Christians will really have to start worrying. :eyes:

Heck, I wouldn't mind seeing any of that happen, except #10 (Repeal the 2nd amendment). Can't have that. We're all gonna have to protect ourselves from girls, gays, etc. gone wild.:D

9. Sanity and Reason Returns.....to the White House/Nation

10. South Carolina will secede....

11. I like 5 and believe HRC WILL settle the score with that poster.

thank god that Hillary will be able to use warrantless wiretapping and will be able to get the ISPs to turn over their records so she can track that poster down and use head slapping, water boarding, sleep deprivation, forced uncomfortable positions, blasting music and pig squeals, imprisonment without charges, rendition, and other supposedly legal and fun techniques to get a confession out of the obviously homeland-hating terrorist POS.

LOL!

12. Babs can't be any worse a nominee than Harriet 'you're cool' Meirs, can she?

Just ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha

hey folks...the psychic strikes again.

[Bonhomme Richard]

15. LOL, and now we will have an imperial president with........

all those new powers they seem to be happy as clams that bush claimed. We will get to wiretap their phones, throw them in Gitmo without a lawyer, torture them, and all that other good stuff.
Their worst nightmare.
