Poll question: So what WILL be the straw that breaks the camel's back?
Edited on Thu Feb-23-06 02:13 PM by EOO
I've been seeing this question being posted here for a while - so I ask what will it be, DU?

With W's approval numbers at an all time low and even repukes and Dems alike questioning W over the UAE port sale, what will it be?

2. When enough bodybags come home and the average American
feels the pinch on his wallet enough to curtail his shopping.

4. Taking the long view, I don't think capitalism's death grip on the planet
will be broken until the end of a V-E-R-Y long Dark Ages. For most of the coming millenium, it will continue to be the dominant social structure. The planet will deteriorate and quality of life will become almost nonexistent. Eventually, it will become decadent and rot from the inside. After a millenium or so, ti will have become irrelevant. Vague cultural memories of a thriving consumer society will linger as myths of a bygone "Golden Age."

8. I think the back has already been broken
What more do you want? Approval rating at 20%? That wouldn't happen even if he were to chop the heads off of puppies on national TV.
