Man this is gonna git ugly.

[Philosoraptor]

The Democratic win is only the beginning of the fall of the bush empire, they are wounded, but they are still here and in charge and insane, this bullshit is going to get real, real nasty in so many ways. Whistles will be blown, old skeletons will come out of their closets, grudges will be held and acted upon, rats will jump ship, finks will drop dimes, heads will roll, shit will roll down hill, books will be written, the disgruntled former employees will come back heavily armed, the chickens will come home to roast.

We should all just try to keep frosty and brace ourselves for two years of absolute insanity and chaos, as in, we ain't seen nothin' yet brothers and sisters.

[Subdivisions]

1. Agreed. Hold on tight...it's going to be a wild ride. And

noone knows where it'll end up.

[ixion]

2. yep, and it doesn't help that the DLC is there and waiting to make things

even more difficult. :grr:

[bluerum]

3. Yup. It's going to be a knock down drag out. nt

[Philosoraptor]

7. Steel cage match, no holds barred, no prisoners taken.

[Cerridwen]

6. I have the feeling they'll try to do to the Democrats as a whole

what they did to Clinton - 8 years of being hunted.

[porphyrian]

8. The number of scandals exposed in the first year will make heads explode.

It will be proportionately relative to how close to the corporate media's version of reality they believe.

[Ksec]

9. You are correct.

Already braced.

Its gonna be a bumpy ride .

[Independent_Liberal]

10. Prediction

Cheney will step down at the beginning of the year. Bush will resign before the end of 2007.

[louis-t]

12. I l-l-l-l-like it!

[The Wielding Truth]

24. I suppose they will do what they can to escape before being prosecuted.

[novalib]

11. Ugly??!! UGLY??!!! WTF??!!

You think it is gonna git UGLY??!!!

Not me!

I think it is gonna be pretty!!!!

REAL FUCKING PRETTY!!

I can't WAIT to see the FALL OF THE BUSH THUG/CABAL/THUG/REGIME/EMPIRE!!!!

It's gonna be a sight to BEHOLD!

Insanity and Chaos!!???

I think NOT -- I say a RETURN TO THE WAYS THINGS SHOULD BE!!

[Ksec]

13. The repukes Ive seen seem to be reveling in their new role as losers

Losing is winning. Up is down.

Who can argue with these people?

[movonne]

14. I believe that the DLC is acting just like the rove..except we are

doing it to our own...I'm really tired of dirty tricks and swift boating our own..

[speedoo]

15. Here's my theory.

Jeb was always the favored son. Poppy now realizes Georgie has fucked things up so badly that Jeb's presidential aspirations are seriously threatened. (Much worse than that, IMO... nobody named Bush will ever be elected to national office for a long, long time.)

Anyway, Poppy has had it with Georgie and has sent Baker in to try to clean things up as much as possible so Jeb has a shot in 2008. This means Cheney's influence has gone from great to zero, and Baker will be running things for the next two years. Poppy and Baker may have gone so far as to have some chats with the congressional rethugs to clue them in: we (Baker and Poppy) are now in charge. You take orders from us from now on.

All in all, a much better situation for the country than with Cheney and the neocons in charge. But the dems had better understand who's really in charge now, or the rethugs will take over again in 2008.

[DearAbby]

22. Isn't it amazing

how people not elected can come in and take control? Where is the outrage! Something of this nature should never be allowed to happen, yet it has, and America remains silent. Don't get me wrong, I am glad for the intervention, but the idea of powerful people, can walk into the office of the president and say "We're doing things our way from now on" :wow:

[FatDave]

32. I imagine that can only happen...

..when both parties have been president, one is a father, and one his life-long fuckup son.

[Clark2008]

33. Well, we didn't elect Lil Georgie, either, and he's been "in control"

(or his proxies) for six years now.

:shrug:

[GliderGuider]

45. The only thing amazing about this situation

Is that the shadow powers have allowed themselves to become so visible. This state of affairs has been normal for decades now, but usually they do a much better job of maintaining the fiction of "elected power". The fact that we can see movement behind the curtain demonstrates just how badly little Georgie has screwed up.

[AntiFascist]

30. Many feel that Baker and Poppy are the deeper evil of the BFEE n/t

[martymar64]

36. I do. Ask Poppy where he was on 11/22/63

n/t

[roody]

40. Where was he?

[martymar64]

43. He was in Dallas, of course

n/t

[GliderGuider]

46. Yep. And don't forget about John Hinkley's brother and Neil Bush

For those who don't know the story, Hinkley's brother Scott was supposed to have dinner with Neil the night before the assassination attempt. The story died really fast.

[Philosoraptor]

47. from the 'unbelievable bush family facts' files.

strange coincidence huh?

[GliderGuider]

49. And people wonder how conspiracy theories are born...

Read P.D. Scott's "Deep Politics and the Death of JFK". It's a remarkable glimpse behind the curtain.

[kimmerspixelated]

16. You're right,

...let's just hope that no new wars are started in the heat of the insanity, while they still have a month or two left of power(well, sort of). As astonishing as the last 6 yrs. have been, I hate to think what else might happen as well! They're in a corner, so you know what happens to dangerous animals when they have no place to go!

[butterfly77]

21. I was thinking about that before we won...

and I believe that they will try it among other things that they have in their dirty trick bag...

[meisje]

17. will pigs fly?

23. oh we'll put some frost in their eyebrows too, don't worry

we're not the ones running around smoking meth and banging man-hookers . . . and don't forget the entire adage goes, "what goes around, comes around, and rolls right back up your ass", followed by my favorite:

"Karma will get them. With a little help from us."

:hi:

[byronius]

26. It's already starting. 'The New Regime Of Punishment and Retribution'.

Crime and Punishment go hand in hand, unless you're talking about a Republican. 'We were only doing what we thought was right -- how can you punish us for that?'

Criminal hearts, criminal minds, criminal souls.

I'm mad.

[razors edge]

27. Springtime in America.

I say go for it, let the people know what has been withheld from them.

[BlueEyedSon]

28. Bet on it. They have a lot to lose.

[Vincardog]

29. What about the economic tsunami this is about to crash on our shores?

The bushit economic plan is to bankrupt us and force us to the tender mercies of the World Bank. Hello NWO

[lonestarnot]

31. Yep... suspect ugly won't cover it.

[sendero]

34. No doubt about it..

... you're good :)

And you are correct also.

[opihimoimoi]

35. DEATH MATCH TIME...if Pelosi/Reid pull it off...the GOPers are TOAST

The Pubs will do all they can to denigrate the Dems Efforts to succeed in making this Nation right itself.

Its almost if the Pubs have a wish to destroy this Nation by IGNORANCE.

[bloom]

37. Like the neoconservatives (Ledeen at least) trying to blame the women...

Michael Ledeen, American Enterprise Institute freedom scholar: "Ask yourself who the most powerful people in the White House are. They are women who are in love with the president: Laura (Bush), Condi, Harriet Miers, and Karen Hughes."

38. yea, like a cornered jackel...

these people are fanatics, without political power they are hollow shells. They will not go down with dignity and honor, for they have none.

[earth mom]

39. No doubt! And there will be hell to pay!

:nuke:

[Philosoraptor]

41. -------------

[BlueIris]

42. Well, I don't think it's gonna get worse than Jan-August '05, but

yeah. This is actually the first thought I had after the vote went down the way it did. I just went, "What? We're winning? Well...that's not what I was expecting. And...oh, shit."

[and-justice-for-all]

44. IMPEACHMENT by spring. nt

[Ganja Ninja]

48. The closer we get to November 2008 the worse it gets for Bush.

By then every Republican running for office will be trying to show how anti-Bush they are. If the Democrats haven't proposed impeachment by 2008 the Republican's just might.

[Philosoraptor]

50. roy blunt DECLARES WAR ON PELOSI SAN FRANCISCO VALUES!
