Will we have to endure another Bush 30 years from now?

[american_typeculture]

I've seen a lot of Nixon apologists recently when people compare Nixon to Bush. How bad is the next one going to be? Are people going to be looking at each other in 30 years and saying, "Damn! Supreme Emperor Xerxon Kang makes George W. Bush look like a flower child!"

1. Sooner if the constitution isn't restored.

[Poiuyt]

2. Failure to impeach Bush will lead to another one

Future leaders know that they will be able to get away with anything without fear of punishment

[Cleita]

5. Yes, I believe it's because of the previous miscreants in both

the Nixon and Reagan administrations were who able to slink away, go about the business of making money until they saw the opportunity to grab power again, that we are in the fix we are in now. If they had been prosecuted, tried, sentenced and thrown in jail like they should have been, it would have been a lesson future wannabe political criminals not to try it. Look where it gets you. Instead they have gotten the opposite message, you can get away with breaking every law in the book, including murder, and come out richer and more powerful than before.

3. Not even that long

[TahitiNut]

9. Exactly. 2012 if not sooner -- if things go the way they've been going.

:shrug: Sadly, we may be looking back at Smirk with nostalgia, much like we're looking back at Nixon.

My bumpersticker: "I Miss Nixon"

Dick wasn't anything close to as criminal and corrupt as Cheney/Bush. Not even close.

10. George P Bush (JEB's son) is what? 31 now?

2012 is very real...

and there's always Jeb..

and Neil's son Pierce wants to go into politics...

And as long as the thugs are never truly held accountable...they will keep coming back

15. That is who I'm thinking.

No time like the present to start digging up dirt on the guy. Now is the time to do it too because he doesn't think he is under the publics scrutiny. He's probably right. Catch him now, while he's out coke-whoring.

[calimary]

4. Yes. Highly probable. Because he's set all kinds of uncontested,

unchallenged, and unquestioned precedents for this. And I GUARANTEE there will be another who comes along in a few years - maybe sooner than 30 years - who'll point to this era as he (or she) builds another tyrannical dictatorship and say "WELL???????? What the hell are you complaining about? I'm not doing anything beyond what george w. bush did, and you sure didn't have a problem with him. If his actions were so unconstitutional and illegal, why didn't you stop him? You didn't do SQUAT to stop him, so it must not have been that big a deal, 'EH??????"

GUARANTEED. The precedent has been set. If there are NO consequences meted out to him for everything he's done, then that means there WILL BE NO consequences, EVER, for this.

I think you can take this to the frickin' BANK.

14. ITA

that's why he needs to be impeached, if only to document his crimes.

6. Another Bush? Definitely, and probably less that 20 years

They are barely trying to hide anything anymore, I cannot imagine them allowing that long before installing one of their monstrous own back on the Throne.

After all, their the ones who made the big connections, whacked Kennedy (90% certainty in retrospect), kept those hostages in Iraq, subverted the Paris Peace Talks in '68 and the Israeli/Palestinian Peace talks in 2000, and all the rest of it.

It's THEIRS! THEY PAID FOR IT and did the dirty work, the wetwork, the treasonous work required to steal a great Republic and make it your slave.

"Supreme Emperor Xerxon Kang", and you can just about bet your house, car and kids that he will be here by 2100 almost certainly, 2050 likely, and maybe even by 2030 or so, after that next Caligulan Bush (George P., I'd bet) sits on the throne. Hell, Supreme Emperor Xerxon Kang might BE George P. Bush, for all we know, although I would say probably not, is coming.

Once the Republic dies fully and firmly, and gleichschaltung ("bringing into line") has advanced to the point where today's Democratic Congressional Leaders willbe compared as lions of rectitude and strength compared to the todies of Kang.

Uccch! Let's hope none of that comes to pass, although some variant is 80% likely, over the next century. Glad I won't be around to see 2100.

7. Absolutely, unless...

...we gut the shadow government and excise it from our body politic, and unless we utterly destroy the neocon movement and its current manifestation, the modern GOP.

[stillcool]

8. The pendelum swings..

only so far...in the best of times. I'm not sure this country will survive this administration, let alone future ones. The ties that bind are firmly entrenched in every federal agency. And, those not in power sit on the boards of major multi-national corporations, most assuredly in the defense industry. How can the problem be fixed when attention is paid to the symptoms and not the problem?

[warren pease]

11. That Constitutional amendment that no one not named Bush can hold the office...

... is probably on that drawing table as we speak. And there are so many choices: Jeb, Neil, the twins, Jeb's addicted daughter... And by then the grandchildren will be of age, so we'll have a whole new generation to choose from. Clearly, the divine right of kings is making a huge comeback.

Personally, I think it's about time we had a line of succession based on genealogy in this country. Why base control of the country on the whims of the electorate? Various cutting-edge voting technologies have begun to address that problem, but an amendment would be so much more official sounding.

Of course, as with any family of inbreds, the Bushes will eventually produce a dysfunctional idiot unfit to perform even the most basic human functions -- critical thinking, coherent speech or reading comprehension -- much less the capacity to pretend to run a country. But that's what senior advisers are for, which is why the Cheney cloning project is so critical to the continued survival of America 2.0

On the downside, there will be an unprecedented volume of petitions for legal name changes clogging the courts, but that's a small price to pay given the rewards of an endless Bushean Dynasty.

12. Yes. They are grooming Pierce Bush as we speak.

[mentalsolstice]

13. I predict Jeb will win the GE in 2008 with write-in votes

...or so they'll try to convince the sleeping masses.

[warren pease]

16. And when they compare signatures...

...they'll find they were all done by the same signature machine.

I like the ghostwriter myself, not just because I am one, but because it looks small enough to conceal and take it into the voting booth with you.

17. Possibilities: Noell (Jeb's daughter) is about the right age

Noell Bush mug shot:

18. Well, her uncle overcame his problems. Oh, wait... n/t

19. An uninformed or disinformed citizenry = You're Republic is going to die.

There can be no real representation unless the people are informed. As of yet, they are suffering from lack of information. The result is people elect people like Bush.
