Would they want Hillary to have this kind of power?

1. It's a question I've posed to Bushbots since '01. . .

none so far can see beyond the moment and find nothing wrong with Bush having unlimited power . . . it's as though they expect presidential power can be turned off at will, depending on who sits in the Oval Office and their personal attitude toward them.

2. they honestly believe -- no, they KNOW -- that no Democrat . . .

will ever again occupy the White House . . . that's what owning the voting process can do for you . . .

4. But how do you explain the attitudes of the average citizen. . .

your run-of-the-mill Bushbot or traditional conservative hasn't a clue what the problems/challenges are with the voting process today, yet they have no problem granting increased power to the Pretzeldent, as they undoubtedly believe he needs these powers and that the risk of a Democrat having them is outweighed by the value of the President -- any President -- having this authority to "protect them."

6. one, they get all their news from tv . . . and two, they're scared . . .

because the news they get from tv is selective, incomplete and, in most cases, inaccurate -- and designed to MAKE them scared . . .

3. Hillary with the FULL POWERS of the Patriot Act, heh, heh

:evilgrin:

I can't make a list long enough of the people and groups that she could fuck over with the Patriot Act and NSA spy jobs.

5. The hell with the power

Think of Hillary having "First Amendment Zones" for protesters.
