My Dad Thinks the Repubs Are Trying to Throw this Election

He thinks that this is why they've chosen McCain to be their running mate, a guy whom half of their own party and most of the rest of the country can't stand. A guy who is old and has serious health problems and anger management issues. A guy who is well-known as an ass-kisser to the worst President in American history.

He thinks that the corporate-owned American media is going to do their absolute 24-7 best to prop up a shitty economy until after January of next year, when the Democratic candidate will be allowed to take office. Then we will be paying $6 a gallon for gasoline and we will finally be hit with the news about economic disaster. We will also then probably be "attacked" by "Iran", which will necessitate quick, decisive, and forceful action that--thanks to the corporate-owned American media--will never be quick, decisive, or forceful enough.

By November of 2012, the Republicans' REAL choice for the White House will win in a landslide. A hard-core neocon PNACker. Think Jeb Bush.

The mantra of that day will be "Thank God, we got a man in the White House who really knows how to run things--who can be strong on terrorism, and who can do what it takes to keep the economy afloat. A man like George W. Bush. He made it look so easy."

The Republicans will then be in the White House for 20 years, at least.

My dad's pretty smart about these things.

18. yeah, and if i didn't think the PNAC would finish the job in 4 years
 I might like that plan.

Let muckain get credit, like Hoover, for the second Great Depression.
Then we get another FDR.

These two are no FDR.

However, I think they would successfully dismantle the entire government, leaving us with a feudal society of ultra rich and squalor, and no 2012 election to look forward to

Frankly, I suspect Frank is bouncing a ball.

And like trying to bounce a cannon-ball, it isn't working.

Me thinks that the DUmmy acorn has not fallen to far from the tree in this case.

Public education is off the hook, we don't have to look any farther than basic genetics and preschool home environment to explain this DUmmie's stupidity.
