[Stephanie]

8. good answer!

[Vinca]

12. Or that we'll be here in 2008. He may have nuked us into

dust by then.

[The Backlash Cometh]

23. Good call.

[Nite Owl]

3. Call me an optimist but

maybe it means he won't be there until '09. Could be '06 or '07?

[samdogmom]

5. I'm with you. It's the impeachment option! n/t

[Sal Minella]

10. I assumed it might be the pretzel option. Danger everywhere.

Nice huh?!:puke:

I've been keeping an eye on both since earlier last year, really no movement at all. Hopefully it stays that way.

[converted_democrat]

28. Thank you for posting that.. I had not seen it before..n/t

[Telly Savalas]

32. Another bluff.

Another distraction.

They know it will never pass, but if it gets us to take our eyes off the ball, it's done its job.

[yellowdogmi]

9. again speechless...

I also saw a thread where dick was on somewhere saying no resignations during wartime. I am really getting creeped out.

11. 2 ways to look at this

1) They not sure that he last till 2008

This is the way I prefer.

[Cocoa]

13. they can't predict the future

there are any number of reasons why he wouldn't complete his term.

[OneBlueSky]

14. that may the scariest thing I've ever seen . . .

I know we've been speculating on the possibility of Bush somehow cancelling the 2008 elections under the guise of "national emergency" . . .

maybe they're just leaving open the possibliity that he may die in office . . . a better guess would be BushCo approved (or maybe wrote) the text, and they know that George W. Bush will still be president on January 20, 2009 . . .

while this seems to support our speculations, it's not something I'm at all happy about . . . but I am damned suspicious . . . and concerned . . . and frightened . . . particularly when I close my eyes, clear my mind, and suddenly realize that this is real!

[Oversea Visitor]

16. Such attempt

at grabbing power will not be acceptable by Americans
I do not think Americans will take this quitely if bush try to stay on.
Even the republicans public will be up in arms.
That is one surefire way to bring total choas to the US.
Only an idiot cannot see the danger of this course of action.


OOOps he is an idoit a useful tool for the itelligent one with hidden agenda.

[MadHound]

26. All that is needed in the US for martial law to begin

Is another "terrorist attack" in this country. Poll after poll has shown that well over sixty percent of Americans would welcome martial law under those circumstances. So, say another "terrorist attack" happens, oh, say on 9/11 of '08. The call for martial law would go up, Bushco would "reluctantly" follow through with it, and all of those people who dare to complain with be shouted down at best, and at worst, stripped of their citizenship and sent to Gitmo for some extraordinary rendition, probably for the rest of their short, short lives.

Bushco has successfully made fear into a tool to get what he wants, and somehow I doubt that neither he, nor the cabal that props his ass up, is going to go quietly in '08. Either they will try for this outright grab for power, or they will again successfully engineer another theft of the election. And martial law would provide lots and lots of cover for this little cabal to get rid of all their enemies out there. I wouldn't put it past them.

15. Well if he died of a stroke tomorrow, then the date would be filled in...

it's not much to worry about. It's normal.

[Silverhair]

17. Take off the stupid tinfoil hat. It is normal.

He could die in office. They don't carve the final date until it happens. That's doesn't mean that they are in on a secret plot of any kind.

The chicken little paranoia is embarrassing the rest of us.

[KyuzoGator]

18. Posts like this make DU and liberal blogs look stupid.

If he dies today, it reads "2001-2006." If he is removed from office next year, it reads "2001-2007."

His term ends in 2009. He won't necessarily be president that long.

[snowbear]

31. Yeah.. we saw your post THERE

Good Gawd Freepers are IDIOTS!

[KyuzoGator]

34. Pardon me?

You saw my post where? Offering legitimate criticism makes me a "Freeper IDIOT"?

This was a dumb "observation." It is quite normal to mark the present administration without an end date.

I hate Bush as much as the next guy, but this isn't some kind of evidence that he's declared himself emperor. There is much more compelling evidence elsewhere.

[texpatriot2004]

22. To "honor" WHAT SERVICE? The Bastard was AWOL nm

[fooj]

27. No shit!

:mad:

[Mutley]

24. Um. When was that made?

Perhaps they left it empty because they didn't know if Bush would be reelected in 2004.

[Cleita]

25. A rhetorical question and a little off topic.

If tomorrow some thugs tried to vandalize and smash the statue to smithereens, would National Guard soldiers in the vicinity attempt to stop them, or would they stand by and watch?

[ryan_cats]

29. Well then, lets fill it in for him.

Well then, lets fill it in for him, I'm shooting for out at 2006, the earlier the better. Our side needs to get off their butts and win come November so * is gone in December!

[Evergreen Emerald]

30. How many bronze sculptures did Saddam have of himself?

We are through the looking glass where villains are heroes and the queen of hearts is evil and an AWOL soldier gets a memorial bronze sculpture honoring his service.

Just when I think it can't get any worse. And actually, this would be funny if it weren't so friggin scary. How many sculptures did Saddam have of himself?

[ISUGRADIA]

33. Not odd at all

He may not be president until 2009; I think 9 of the 43 presidents have died in office and 1 resigned.

Recutting stone ain't cheap.
