Horror of Horrors: What happens if the PUBs RETAIN their POWER?
Can you Imagine what will happen to America over the nx 2 years???

Imagine a BushWorld where he picks more candidates to the SCOTUS...all leaning Right? Losing the OBJECTIVITY to Ideology?

Imagine Bush and more Tax Cuts?

Imagine more pollution as the World turns warmer? Bush is famous for allowing environmental laws and codes to be relaxed....

Imagine our Treasury strained as Bush piles on more Debt.

Imagine more secrets as Bush hides his trails from us Americans.

The list is long and serious...telling us this Bush dude and the GOP in General is NOT TO BE TRUSTED.

They TEACH Americans to IMAGINE and LOVE.... NEGATIVITY, to LIE CHEAT STEAL, and to be the GOP CROP. Thats not Good is it?

The PUBs are HORRID at Running this NATION.....

Vote BLUE for the LOVE of this Mighty Nation....VOTE BLUE....WE DEMS CAN AND WILL DO BETTER..its a no brainer

5. The only way the GOP can retain power now is to steal the elections
It's not close enough for that, so it will be obvious this time.

What do we do about it? Please click here.

11. Win or lose in '06 , not much will really change until '08
*² will still be president.
he will NOT be impeached
he will crack open a case of veto pens
corporate media will declare congress to be "obstructionist" for two long years
right wing nuts will still haunt the boob-tube
think back to media coverage in the Clinton era..shenanigans will abound
there is not likely to be a veto-proof majority

I know this sounds pessimistic, and even though it's better to have a majority, it's not a panacea

15. Hi There SoCalDem, Yes, its not the Cure but its a start...
But at least, that is to say if we got the House, the Dems can oversee some of the crap that normally passes under the ALL PUB FORMAT. If we happen to win the Senate, Sanity and Reason will return and make a huge difference.

The DEMs will be a FILTER of sorts to reduce the Harm the GOPers have been doing all these years. Both Senate and House will HOGTIE Bushies BAD IDEAS

19. No I think if the Dems win
there will be investigations and that will slow the devil in chief down - if the Dems lose and I believe they will because of the machines - and pray to God I'm wrong - its Katie bar the door they will actively push the rest of their ridiculous neo-con agenda - privatize everything - and weaken dissent to a point where we will be powerless....and the gap between rich and poor will grow and grow and grow - the debt will rise and rise and rise and I just don't know what the hell will become of us and I'm deeply bummed and worried - and I am really trying to be optimistic but I have to tell you it is really hard.

13. In a meeting yesterday I had with fellow Democrats, some
were talking about going underground and forming a shadow government because they feel there is no way we will get honest elections in 2008 either. They feel that the undermining of our Constitution has to be stopped by us at a grass roots level, if we don't gain some control back in November.

17. Careful with the 3rd Congress whispers...they are ALL ears...LOL
I understand the Fear of Stolen Elections....what can we do? Collectively we should insist/demand secure systems until we get them...

The Grass Roots need to morph into BAMBOO ROOTS...Taller, stronger, better.

23. I'm just relaying what I heard.
The fact that there is talk like this is interesting to me. Anyhow, it seems a call to action of some sort if the status quo remains the same is starting to rumble.

16. i guess i'm just crazy
i think if the repubs win next month that the next 2 years will see the total implosion of the gop
there's no way that the alliance between the corporate raiders and the religious fundies can
hold up much longer. wasn't it one of their shills that said they can make their on reality...that's incorrect, they've been able to suspend reality for longer than i would have thought possible, but i really think that's ending. their only real plan seems to have been to steal as much as possible as fast os possible for as long as possible. i'm a yellowdog dem, but my father is a brokenglass repub, and he's not voting this year. take it from me......that's huge

18. We should not look to the IMPLOSION in the nx 2 years(GOP WIN)
We should look to it NOW....and keep it that way for as long as we can...The GOP is imploding as I type...

The Record under the GOPer Rule has been nothing but ZERO's...they even got us a ZERO PRESIDENT.

I say they gatta go...and BTW, they can take Joe too.

31. Bush has a hole nother taste since 2000!
I used to whack it, now I can hardly hack it!

I do think I've fingered out why gas went down a dollar a gallon, all of a sudden...If it hadn't Bush couldn't have bought the fuel he needed to try and save his sorry 30% poll numbers and go everywhere under the son, to campaign for the Grubby Old Pocketpool Party...

God's gonna get 'cha for that
God's gonna get 'cha for that
There's no place to run and hide
For He knows where you're at

God's gonna get 'cha for that
God's gonna get 'cha for that
Every wrong thing that you do
God's gonna get 'cha for that

This doggone world we're living in
It's giving me a fit
It seems like everywhere I turn
I see a hypocrite

Well, if ya wanna go to heaven
Well, you can't live like that
So let me tell you, brother
God's a-gonna get 'cha for that....MORE...

In God's Eyes, Bush is Toast

We can only wait for the REDEMPTION

Here at the DU Station.

We will laff our Asses off,

as they lead the first ones to Jail.

From the looks of it,

Many won't mind being the NEW TAIL.

36. 99 years to life without mudflaps!
Let the "Series" fun and games begin...and since they're all for torture, bondage, humiliation, poverty and all that kind of EVIL stuff, the lying Pubbyophile bastids should reap some of the same kind of evil shit, that they have sown.

Let the pretenders beg their make believe wind up, made for TV, GOPer, studio, enhanced, Gods, to forgive them for their unbridled hypocrisy and their bloody sins against humanity...if they want any better treatment. Bush and Delay and the rest of the GOP, worship a God like nothing I've ever read about or heard about in any Bible.

The GOPers have never felt sorry for anyone they've ever screwed over, lied to, cheated, ripped off, killed, tortured, or made fun of!

"Payback is mine and I shall repay, y'all's, lazy, pampered, soft, flabby, hypocritical, tired, sorry, Repubbophile asses," sayeth the biggest of all boppers!

30. Cries of anguish all over the world.
Don't let them win.

They're bruised and staggering...they've taken hits in the last two years from Sheehan, Schiavo, Katrina, Dubai Ports, Abramoff, Foley...

All it takes is one more knockout punch in November.
