bush's last two years will be the most fun.
He has had an incredible six year ride pretending to be the president, prancing around like dick cheney is not the real president, looking macho and important but he seems to have struck an iceberg.

These last two years should really do a trick on his teenie tiny brain, he seems quite miserable lately, and its going to get much, much worse over the next two, yes, two god damned years.

After 6 years of this shit, its a matter of who can take it the longest, him or us. Can he hang on till the last minute? Can he ever recover, ever make his war successful? Can he take what's coming down the pike?

I wish I could see into his future, and ours, but his last two years as the maniac in chief should be the most memorable.

Enjoy it jr., while you can.

1. Other leaders have gone bonkers over stuff like this
Johnson was miserable until his death.

Hitler went bonkers, as did Napoleon.

It is safe to say that some of them were bonkers before they went into office, but I think jr was sane.

It will be interesting to watch as long as the election isn't stolen. I've seen hope like this dashed before and it wasn't that long ago.

9. If Johnson was miserable
Nixon was certifiable paranoid, Reagan was Alzheimer-addled and our buddy W has a prominent psychoanalysis (Justin Frank) calling him a "very dangerous person" a 7-year-old in a 60 year old body.

2. Counting your chickens before they hatch, huh?
If the Dems do not retake at least one of the houses of congress, then the last 2 years of Bush may be memorable, but not in a good way. I am guessing that there probably were as many who thought we would win in 2000 and 2004 who think the same way now. It ain't over til it's over.

12. It may not be fun for Bush,
but I would take no joy in what it is going to cost the country to have Bush miserable.

11. My feeling are with you.
I do not put it past that they stay in power. Many people like a govt. like this. Very anti-Am. to want to go around the constitutions but some how the GOP have the anti-war words going for them. I sometimes think all those new prisons will come in handy and the private corp. that built and run them will have jobs for years. One hardly needs a Middle class if you have prison labor and Mex. Just who will buy the goods coming in from over seas is a question we all seem to have not got to. Bush and Co, give me such bad feeling of what is going to happen. I do not think they plan to give up power.

17. The whole place seems a mess but then I did live this
The Civil Rights years and the Vietnam war. We were sure a place where lots of people got killed. Believe me we had our own terrorist right here. I think the people where fighting the govt. just as bad but it is more with words now. We had so many riots one hated to turn on the news and see it all. Police beating kids, kids tearing down stores, banks getting robbed by these crazy groups, and the endless dead coming back from Asia. It was crazy. I am still sure we are in the middle of a world wide revolutions.

4. They are going to have a grand old time
Fucking children, torturing brown-skinned people, beating up old ladies at peace marches... maybe they will even step it up a notch, from those mild fraternity pranks.

5. Making his war successful will never happen
Because he has a bad habit of ignoring and forcing out all the people who know (and care about) the right way to fight terrorism.

We can only hope for a Democratic majority in Congress that will curb him as he grows ever more desperate, and dangerous.

7. The war has been successful.
The goal was to sack Saddam and get control of the Iraqi oil. They did that, and record profits (as well as major profits for junior's other corporate buddies) have ensued. Who cares that the Iraqi people are suffering and that thousands of American soldiers are dying over there? That was never the point. The point was money, which they've made hand over fist. I'd say the Iraq War has been a smashing success, and so does W.

8. yeah, its worked out great for them
but to the Americans who even care, it is a disaster. In terms of profit, swimmingly successful.

14. I know it's been a success in that sense
I've no doubt that's why Bush** smirks when he insists it's a success, despite all the evidence to the contrary, and why he won't take sound advice and wrap it up.

18. If the repugs keep control of Congress, he will on Nov. 8th, spout off
about how he has "political capital" to spend. He will again be emboldened. He'll start up with his Social Security bs again. He wants that bad and his Wall Streets buds are salivating over it. OTOH, if the Democrats take back control of Congress, he'll probably go into hiding. I hope for the latter. :evilgrin:
