Yeah it wont be so bad. It wont be like when Clinton was in office and he had 80 American citizens burned to death via FBI and BATF agents at Waco Texas.

But Bush wiretaps foreign terrorists and he’s considered “Hitler”.

Thing is, Bush has it setup where he can call you a terrorist and strip you of your constitutional rights. Even the 2nd Amendment. Our founders would be disgusted with this president and the mindless drones that follow him.

Andrew, you better learn your founding father’s history. Google the “alien and sedition act”. Nothing has changed. The stakes are the same. Those in power will do whatever it takes to “Preserve the Union” as they define the “Union”. Including suspending Habeas Corpus, (lincoln) or sending troops, or anything, including nuking a US city (cheney) or setting a herd of stampeded buffalo upon an indian village, (nixon).

Politics is bad biz no matter who’s in charge. Someone can always claim manifest destiny or someother latin phrase and once they do that, there’s nothing anyone can do to stop the evil. “Knowlus Scrollus”. there, I just declared “Knowlus Scrollus”, which means that my comment is correct, and true, while your comment is from the terrorists and you will be arrested in five minutes.

You will see that Republicans are in no way hiding this September when they open their convention. They have big speeches planned by prominent members of the Republican party.

Sen Larry Craig (Republican) will be speaking on the the rights Americans enjoy in the privacy of public bathroom stalls. I hear he will also be playing Taps, how touching.

Sen David Vitter (Republican) will be discussing his God given right to choose either Pampers or Huggies. He will also be discussing the need for change.

Rev Haggard will deliver the opening prayer on the right to gross displays hypocrisy. Really gross.

Unfortunately President Bush will be far far away. Ironic isn’t it? He’s being told that if he gets within 100 feet of the arena in Minneapolis-Saint Paul he will be arrested. Bush will still be speaking about rights though, to a group of Little Leaguers…..on the right way to steal a base.

Just as Obama will be speaking on the joys of selling out our country or expounding on the benefits of “talking” to our enemies.

I also hear Michelle will also be speaking on bringing our country together as a people, as long as whitey doesn’t interfere that is.

Then there’s Hillary, speaking on the benefits of taxation without representation. She will discuss how we should all be happy, and feel priviledged, to give our money to the government because they know how to spend it much better than us.

Then closing the Democratic Convention will be the honorable Rev. Wright. He will be discussing how God has damned America, and how much he hates his country and why we should, too.

It’s not eight years of Trojan Horse Obama that would be so scary. We can survive that as there are ways for a minority in Congress, career federal appointees and even the military to quietly but effectively “thwart” Presidential desires. What we can’t survive is the type of activist, international law precedent seeking judges at the District, Appellate and especially U.S. Supreme Court levels. Those philosophies and errant Constitutional decisions can effect our country for a lifetime and they have the ability to alter it beyond anything our founding fathers may have had in their worst nightmares !

James Winslo Etc brings up some good points, so the Democrats must be willing to do battle in order to save the country from the damage that Bush has inflicted on this once great country. It will take some courageous but necessary acts. Unlike Bush and his evil ways, all legal.

1st thing the Dems will need to do with their super majorities in both Houses of Congress is change some rules. The Dems should take the Republican suggestion and get rid of the filibuster, immediately.

Next thing Congress will have to do is increase the number of Supreme Court Justices from 9 to 11, which of course the US Congress has the right to do. We started this country with 6 Justices and Congress has increased it to 9. Its time to go with 11 justices.

Then of course President Obama will have to appoint some non-activist judges to keep Scalia, Roberts, Thomas and Alito from destroying our Constitution any further.

It won’t be easy, but certainly must be done. We can save America. This way will be easier than using our well regulated militia.

Lets get our Rights back. Do it for the children. God Bless America!!!

I’m with you on this one, Mr. Bookman. After the Bush/Cheney/Rumsfeld years, even the thought of eight years of Obama doesn’t scare me although eight years of Hillary would have been pushing it. I don’t know what some of these others will do if Obama’s elected though. It sounds like some of them may just have to hunker down under their bunk beds until it’s all over. Poor little frightened people. If they’re so scared now, just wait until they learn the truth about what Bush’s economic policies have done to us.

To Abomi Nation:

At the risk of being accused of a “love fest” your points/actions for the democrats to take are a good plan - although we will fight you the best we can.

However, I think you meant “originalist” vs. “activist” justices for the Supreme Court.

Originalist/conservative judges interpret the Constitution as a written contract. As with any written contract it means what it said at the time it was written (it doesn’t “evolve” - Business Law 101).

Activist/liberal judges interpret the Constitution as a breathing document which can change over time and/or be interpreted using even “foreign” rulings/precedent.

To me this is a very dangerous principle that can backfire on you. Why? Because some day if conservatives control the Court they might start using “foreign precedents” YOU don’t like. That would be equally wrong but if it happens don’t whine ……….

Why should the Constitution never change it’s meaning? Because that’s what Amendments are for.

Your hooker will know that you love America!

Your nurse at the retirement home will know that you love America!

Taxpayer, why do you hate America? Why do you hate the flag?

1st of all, the liberal Dems would just try to socialize the diaper industry. 2nd, instead of an image of the flag they would probably end up putting an image of Che Guevara on the diapers. Republicans would never wear Che Guevara diapers. Ronald Reagan diapers yes, Che Guevara diapers, NEVER!

The reason I wanted the Republicans to have the American Flag Diaper business is because the liberal Democrats would want the recycling/fertilizer business that would surely follow.

Perhaps you should move to a communist country Taxpayer, where they still use cloth diapers.

Perhaps Georgia pawn shop owners and used car salesmen worry about the economic effects of an Obama presidency, but it seems that Wall Streeters (that is, serious businesspeople) are backing Obama much more than McCain, because they are not economic idiots.

The $400B or so that has been spent on Dumbya’s silly war by a country already deeply in debt is the chief reason the Bush dollar buys 1/5th the oil it bought in 2001.

(Without invading Mexico and Canada) He and his are publicly touting that they will punish the wealthy, (class ware fare B.S.) Tax the corporate structure. Tax your 401K and your dividends with a higher rate. Double the death tax standard. Investigate Wall street and look to tax hedge funds. It will never happen of course the Senate will toss out our starve all these bills when they come a calling…..But try he will and then be eaten by his own for failure in four or less years of ineptitude.

Alan, no cow bell yet. In your own words: When someone says “I will create jobs when I am president” he is inherently referring to his administration not he himself as ONE MAN.

I think as many, it is a defining issue where his run at President will be won or lost.

No you’re a liberal politician who supports and studies Faux play, and has zero concept of the worlds economic platform.

The fearmongering is understandable, Jay. Basically, they’re afraid that when the liberals gain control, they’ll act like Republicans—stifling dissent, locking up people without trial or charges, and revoking the rights of anyone who gets in our way.

Fortunately, liberals have more respect for the Constitution than that. But they only know the Bush perspective, which hates and fears freedom. Naturally they assume we’re like them—cowards and bullies.
