Think there will be a presidential election in 08?
 

With the war still raging in Iraq and the possibility of invading Iran, I am putting money that bush will use this power to stay in office indefinitely.

It's either we will go to war with Iran, or there will be another terror attack, but I bet there will be something and this idiot will engage this.

That's one way to beat the 8 year limit.....

:321GFY BUSH :321GFY

Pipe down, chipper.

????????????????

I hope they will get a new president. I still don't understand how Americans re-elected the most moronic president ever for a second term.

the paste didn't work... try it now, it's fixed.... or click here.

no one has done it before...they wont try..they dont have that kind of backing anymore


new power is already in...and you can bet your ass they want it come election

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaughThings are fucked in America now for sure and the president is largely to blame, but I can assure you of one thing:

Shortly after 12:00 pm eastern time, on January 20, 2009, George W. Bush will no longer be president.

I can't fathom what you suggest, and that is, our constitution being deemed irrelevant based on George's whim.

Good post though.:thumbsup

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

I think that the Law and Order guy might actually have a chance.

I'm not republican, but I'd vote for him just because I love L&O and I'm sure there are some other dimwits out there just like me.

Anyone remember that Eddie Murphy movie "The Distinguished Gentleman"?

It's an Ohio company and the President of the company is a HUGE Bush supporter. Coincidence...I don't think so.

I read through that, did not indicate, at least to me that it's possible for that to happen?:2 cents:

"all three branches of government to execute constitutional responsibilities and provide for orderly succession, appropriate transition of leadership, and interoperability and support of the National Essential Functions during a catastrophic emergency"

Of course there will be an election in 08', and Bill Richardson will win by a landslide.

Phoenix and JP513... what makes you think that this mans ego is not big enough to try? Look at what he has done already because he wanted to and against what all others said.

I personally think he has the balls to at least try.

It looks like an innocuous document to me.

Actually, it looks like good planning.

Implementation Actions

(4) Continuity requirements shall be incorporated into daily operations of all executive departments and agencies. As a result of the asymmetric threat environment, adequate warning of potential emergencies that could pose a significant risk to the homeland might not be available, and therefore all continuity planning shall be based on the assumption that no such warning will be received. Emphasis will be placed upon geographic dispersion of leadership, staff, and infrastructure in order to increase survivability and maintain uninterrupted Government Functions. Risk management principles shall be applied to ensure that appropriate operational readiness decisions are based on the probability of an attack or other incident and its consequences.


You don't think another attack like 9/11, or worse, would initiate that?

we had elections during WW2 and Vietnam so take off your tinfoil hat and relax

Different times, different values.... and leaders that did not have the ego this idiot has.


I love that phrase... tin foil hat.... what? can't come up with anything better? Like that really means anything to me. Mr 2 posts :1orglaugh

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh Yeah I do. Stupid movie but kinda funny.

more proof that GFY makes the internet dumber.

What he has already done and what you have suggested he might do are two different things entirely. I see you are a Bush hater and I give you props for that . . .:1orglaugh but the fact is, all presidents have egos the size of which we mortals can hardly fathom. Having said that, the constitution is strong than any president's ego. So I guess that's my answer to your question.

I meant the constitution is strongER . . . sorry 4 the typo.

Fred Thompson will be President in 2008.

I hate to be the one to say this, but could you break that down
for the lamen out here please?
I followed it in so far as it basically turns us into
a totalitarian state in name as well as in deed,

but it was a lot longer than just that.

Under those circumstances yes! But! If the election has already happened! there may only be a delay in the progression! of maybe a few months at best! He is not going to be able to keep that up for any effective time period. And the backlash would be incredible.

Cliff notes? My life expectency is shorter than this article.

the constitution is just a piece of paper

After the "I'm not part of the Executive Branch" stunt Cheney pulled, I honestly believe this administration is capable of anything ... (except planning 9/11 tinfoil heads) :)

While I don't think it will happen, Bush will do his best to try and stay

you are prolly smoking the same stuff phoenix is, lol

i said this after the 04 'election'......

that's an interesting interpretation.. lol

how would the US be able to continue having the alliances it enjoys while doing something like that?

We didn't elect him for the first term.

:2 cents:

Do you think he cares? How many have we lost due to the fact that he went into Iraq against the wishes of many nations and the UN?

This person does not care about America or Americans... all this prick cares about is the almighty dollar and power. PERIOD :2 cents:

Oh yeah, the backlash would be tremendous, unless he uses the ol "FEAR" tactics that he has been using to get his way to date..... including the last presidential election.

Americans for the most part are ignorant sheep that care more about their little conveniences than they do their freedoms and/or rights. Christ, look at all we lost with the patriot act.... basically, all they have to do is claim terrorist and you can be held indefinitely. Your privacy has been invaded... they are reading emails, blogs, boards and listening in on phone conversations.

You think they are not listening to you? Think again.... since they have no way of knowing who is and who is not a terrorist, they need to listen and look at everyone.

Remember back when they needed a search warrant to be presented before entering your home? How many times do you see that now? Ever watch cops when they break in then worry about serving the warrant after the fact?

Christ, I know a guy that was woken up at 4 am with swat holding automatic rifles to his head with his wife sleeping next to him.... kids in the next room.... all on suspicion. It was later proven that he was innocent of all charges.

Nice place America has turned into.

"Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety."

- Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790)

That quote holds true today. Americans are willing to give up their privacy and security for safety from the "terrorists". We didn't give them up because the Germans were offering Mexico the southwest during world war one with the zimmerman note. or During World war two wheb the Nazis almost made an attack on US soils by undercover agents.

just like all the left wing nuts said Bin Laden would be found in 2004....

PS It wasn not just Bush that wanted to go to war with Iraq... IT WAS BOTH SIDES. Time to look to a third party


RON PAUL 2008

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

.. and you are not far out .....


PS: That movie was so fucking funny .... with the taping of all the bs going on ....

technically we never elected him the first time. :winkwink:

No election in 08. Bush and the Republicans will rig it just like everything else. Can anyone say emergency powers?

thats the same quote that stuck out to me..

lol dude, obviously you:

a) didn't read the document
b) read the document, but have limited comprehension

Yes . . . and it's a very strong piece of paper.

Thought provoking thread!!
