what happens after 01/20/2009 ?
 Advertisements [?]Edited on Wed Feb-20-08 11:37 AM by blues90
Here the entire country of america ,well at least those who have a say or are still alive , are all caught up in this election frenzy and there is no doubt are .

What happens to all those who fell of the ship called america during the 8 years of bush ? Are we just to move on as if nothing happened and erase all the past . All the criminals just walk away and all the profiteers keep their robbed take and the endless stream of freaks calling themselves the MSM just continue on happy go lucky .

Do all the freaks who voted for bush once or twice , clear their conscience saying they were just afraid of a terrorist attack , where the hell are they now ?

How about all the right wing radio freaks such as Rush , do they keep their life and continue on with the hate .

How many more years will the people in New Orleans and the Miss gulf live in FEMA trailers and the soldiers live on the streets .

All the people who live in what's left of Iraq , what about them .

Does Black water continue to grow and we will still be looking at police dressed like the Black op patrol .

How about all the people who lost their jobs and homes and life savings , are they to just pick themselves up by their boot straps and carry on .

I ask these things because most of this has been pushed way back in the distance as if it just does not matter any more , does not matter who was left behind as long as those still standing can climb into their cars and SUV's and bring along their camera phones and join in on all the high profile bullshit election frenzy meet ups and cheer and rave and cast that vote for their media chosen head of the whitehouse .

Nothing else really matters now does it ?

1. neither candidate wants to talk about accountability
 ...and one of them specifically talks about kum-bah-ya with those who have successfully destroyed America.

2. Senate investigation into BushInc begins and THIS TIME Pres. Obama COOPERATES
 and FACILITATES access to documents that the last Dem president would not.

Just shining a light on the depth of corruption and opening the government long closed to the people will freshen the air on ALL the issues, domestic and foreign.

3. There is no doubt whichever Democrat takes charge of the WH is going...
 Edited on Wed Feb-20-08 11:37 AM by LakeSamish706
to have one frickin nightmare to contend with. Its going to take a lot longer to put this country back together than the 8 years it took to tear it apart. Frankly, I'm glad its not me stepping into this major mess... and that is why I would certainly love to see the next president hold these thugs responsible for there carnage.

Edited to include:

One big problem that I still have is if November elections will happen as they are supposed to... or will a war or something else happen to circumvent the election, and keep this bunch of loonies in power? Guess we will have to wait and see.

5. That's easy
 The Republicans (those that are left) and right-wing radio begin their attack on the Obama administration.

The Obama administration begins work on restoring America.

How that plays out will be very interesting.

10.  it will only be interesting to those who have a life left . 
 I don't assume anything nore is this the place to the claim of fame of an Obama admin .

This is not about Obama , this is about the people who Obama or anyone else for that matter have up to this point ignored completely .

Remember one thing , who ever becomes president and the more they promise they will never be allowed one mistake this time around . The media will be just waiting for the one mistake or the promise made that can't be kept before they pounce .

6. The first thing an Obama President needs to do is; Restore the Constitution and...
 restore Habeas Corpus in the first weeks of the Presidency... This will show to the American people and the rest of the world that America is back.


yeah back at being a paper tiger in the eyes of the world, where other countries will decide our fates

8.  there is a long way to go before there is any new president 
 And as you said in your first reply , there is the great possibility of something going very wrong well before the elections are over .

9. Change does not happen overnight
 And if those "still standing" in their SUVS and with their camera phones were not packing stadiums to attend meetups and cast their votes, change would not be happening. Would you prefer these people to stay home and watch American Idol and not give a shit? We had too much of that. We need to welcome EVERYONE we can get to the political arena especially if they are on our side.

I do not know what you expect to happen. I do not know the reason for your OP. All I can suggest to you is to be patient and to be one of those attending election frenzy meetups and encouraging everyone you know to attend them with you.

Change can only come about from engagement and activism.

For the love of god

There's a reason why patriotism is considered a conservative value.

No, my friends, there’s only one really progressive idea. And that is the idea of legally limiting the power of the government. That one genuinely liberal, genuinely progressive idea — the Why in 1776, the How in 1787 — is what needs to be conserved. We need to conserve that fundamentally liberal idea. That is why we are conservatives. --Bill Whittle

I think I could give up a bit of laughter for the knowledge that the Gene Pool just grew about 50 feet deeper.

Medved reminded me of something today.. he has "conspiracy day" where he encourages the wackos to call in and talk about what they think is going on... and this guy calls in and says, "our new leaders are being HAND PICKED by the elites and I'm sick of it!!"

and Medved says, "ya know.. youre right. back during the Fall of 07, the elites thought it would be a Subway Series with both sides being from New York.. they thought Hilary and Rudy were the foregone winners and that McCain was dead and out of money and Huckabee was a joke.

"so.. if the elites picked our candidates for us ... where ARE Hilary and Rudy right now?"

every single day, i am shocked that the guy is still going... he got no votes here in Seattle to speak of. granted, our turnout for the 'primaries' yesterday was a joke.

i got there last night 30 minutes before the polls closed and when i put my card thru the reader, the number clicked over to '52' ...  :popcorn:

As I have stated elsewhere, this is coming up too soon in the cycle.  By the time we are at the GE, this will be a footnote.

Indeed it is too early.  This must be a story they had planned for September.  But the NYT needed to get Hillary Clinton's failures and Michelle Obama's stupidity off the cycle, so they had to spend a little ammo now.

I predict it will not be long before the NYT takes McCain to task for McCain-Feingold and how it has a "chilling" effect on free speech.
