FROM DU: Democrat Party Hysteria: No Holds Barred
If we lose this year's elections, there may not be an election in 2008.

Unless we can win either the house or senate this year, I don't believe we will see a presidential election in 2008. For the past six years, the Bush/Cheney mob and their cohorts in congress have done whatever they wanted to do without any restraints on them.

Two questions:

(1)Why would they give up power?

(2)Who's going to make them give it up?

These pigs have used power like a kid in a candy shop, they love it, and they can't get enough of it. They can do what they want to, when they want to, and to whomever they want to do it to.

They've proved to us time and again that they have no moral boundaries in their use and abuse of that power. Gee, isn't it great to invade any country you feel like invading? Snoop into anyone's conversations and financial affairs? Being able to detain anyone at will for any reason that pops into your head? Hell, you can even disappear them to one of your undisclosed torture chambers. Want to kill them? No problem.

Enumerating a full list of their abuses of power is virtually impossible as they've been doing it one or more times a day, every single day, for five and a half years now. And those are just the ones we know about.

And let's not forget the words that King George himself uttered. "If this were a dictatorship, it would be a heck of a lot easier, as long as I'm the dictator." Anyone think the sociopath didn't mean those words?

So who's going to make them give up their power? The media? The courts? Don't hold your breath. Can We The People force them to give it up? Aside from all the Audie Murphy types who have a cache of guns and other exotic weapons, I don't think so. King George, Darth Cheney and their henchmen own the police, the military, the means to eavesdrop on us anywhere, anytime, and the ability to infiltrate any group that tries to organize an armed rebellion. Small groups could cause some damage, but doing away with our dictatorship would remain a fantasy.

Everyone who thinks the above scenario isn't possible is fooling themselves. Canceling an election would be no problem for them. A MIHOP incident followed by a declaration of martial law and a "temporary" suspension of elections would be all that would be needed.

So how would they finally be removed from power? Well, the rest of the world might band together and try to overthrow them. But that would result in the launching of every nuclear weapon in our arsenal. The fundies would get their Armageddon.

The other possibility is a military coup. If this were to happen, it would be a tossup of whether the generals would retain power or reestablish the rule of law and what used to be our constitutional government. (Cyrano)

DU Chimes In:

--I long for the day when I would have thought what you said was insane. Not anymore. That is why it seems so important to me to tie the Republicans to Bush's crimes at every single chance. (Laura PackYourBags)

--My gut tells me you are so right. we have one more time to get it right and '06 is it. (madokie)

--On my bad days, I think the same thing. Remeber, Hitler was elected, too. I'm trying to stay optimisitc, but if we lose in '06 and can't impeach this guy, I fear for our democracy. (CanonRay)

--People were saying the same thing before the 2004 election and we know how well 2004 turned-out... We may not see a real election again in our lifetimes. (JCMach1)

They accuse US of fear-mongering--and then they put this load of bullcrap out there. They'll do anything to whip up the hysteria and hyperbole in which their party is already mired.

They can't win an election fairly, so they think, by ramping up this 'no more elections!' type nonsense, they'll scare people into voting for them! Don't buy it--it's just more d'Rat craziness...
