Will Bush Cancell The 2008 Election
Comment : With Bush around as a "Commander In Thief" anything is Possible.
Expect the Unexpected. Would like your Comments on this.
--------------------------------------
It is time to think about the “unthinkable.”
The Bush Administration has both the inclination and the power to cancel the 2008 election.
But we must also assume that if it appears to Team Bush/Cheney/Rove that the GOP will lose the 2008 election anyway (as it lost in Ohio 2006) we cannot ignore the possibility that they would simply cancel the election. Those who think this crew will quietly walk away from power are simply not paying attention.
The real question is not how or when they might do it. It’s how, realistically, we can stop them.
In Florida 2000, Team Bush had a game plan involving a handful of tactics. With Jeb Bush in the governor’s mansion, the GOP used a combination of disenfranchisement, intimidation, faulty ballots, electronic voting fraud, a rigged vote count and an aborted recount, courtesy of the US Supreme Court.
A compliant Democrat (Al Gore) allowed the coup to be completed.
The present Democratic Party is already in Bush's Corporate Payroll and this time it won't be the broken ballot machines, but another Massive False Flag (9/11) to bring-in the introduction of the long awaited Facist Policies.
In all instances, the 109th Congress—and the public—have rolled over without significant resistance. The Founders established our government with checks and balances. But executive orders have accumulated important precedent.
It’s well established that Richard Nixon—mentor to Karl Rove and Dick Cheney—commissioned the Huston Plan, which detailed how to cancel the 1972 election.
Who would stop this administration from taking dictatorial power in the instance of a “national emergency” such as a terror attack at a nuclear power plant or something similar?
Nothing in the behavior of this Congress indicates that it is capable of significant resistance. Impeachment seems beyond it. Nor does it seem Congress would actually remove Bush if it did put him on trial.
The Supreme Court, as currently constituted, would almost certainly rubber stamp a Bush Coup.
We may have about a year to prepare. Every possible scenario needs to be discussed in excruciating detail.
For only one thing is certain: denial will do nothing.

Very unlikely, probably can't be done.

I don't have time to talk about such rubbish. Next topic. If you are going to bash the right, at least come up with something of more substance.

I don't want to get into trouble by calling you a lefty moonbat who's thinking on the fringe so I'll just say that the election will take place as planned.

Bush (and any other president) has the power through the FEMA, but it's a one shot deal. I don't think any president would seriously consider it. And since regular Republicans ARE a freedom-loving bunch (and I don't mean far right Bush groupies) who DO love this country, Bush would have a bigger handful than he could ever dream of.
And yes, mainstream Democrats ALSO love freedom and their country, so the only people left in America on Bush's side would be Cheney and about 3 dozen others.

This is a dumb thread. I can't even believe its being discussed. And when you say that^^^ up above, what do you mean?

Umm... no... he won't cancel the election. This thread takes the cake for "most outrageously idiotic".
