I fear we are looking at nuclear war and a complete breakdown of society-if there is a world left.

Bush has done more damage to America than Atilla the Hun ever did in his part of the world way back when. It will take generations to fix things. * and cohorts are the most dangerous gang of thieves and murders today and must be stopped. Is that important enough for you?

If you could have:
Kerry Win + GOP House/Senate
(EXCLUSIVE) OR
Bush Win + DEM House/Senate
What would you pick? Although I think most of us would pick the former, it is an interesting choice.

No question about it. I haven't been impressed with democratic unity in the House and Senate. The members are rarely in line for anything -- unlike republicans who are almost lock step. At times I feel like blaming Pelosi, but it isn't her fault. There are just too many dems in the House that cross over. As for Daschle, we had him as Senate Maj leader for almost the first two years of Bush's presidency and Bush still got his tax cuts and other parts of his agenda passed.
Kerry on the other hand would have executive powers meaning the power of executive orders, nominating and appointing federal judges and justices, the power of the pulpit, and a whole lot of other things, not to mention he'd be commander in cheif.

consumed with getting that bastard out. Thoughts and fears of November 2 (actually 3rd -- the outcome) are never far away. That's why I can't fathom complacency and "undecided" voters. When the fuck will people wake up.

I totally agree with you. The deterioration of this society since 2000 has me very frightened to think about how much worse it can become if Bush wins re-election. If he does win, no matter how wide or narrow his margin, you can bet that he and his supporters will see this as a by-God-given-mandate to do whatever they want both here and abroad. And it possibly sets the stage for someone much worse (which I can't even contemplate right now) for 2008 (provided, of course, that we are all STILL HERE in 2008).
If people at this point are still undecided, they are either incurably apathetic or just plain blind to what is going on. But you know, when things are finally too far gone, they'll be the first to look around and wonder just what the hell happened.
For the first time ever, I am afraid for both our country and our entire political process. Things may never be the same after Nov. 3.

look like, go to your local library and check out EVERYTHING you can relative to Nazi Germany, the Third Reich, Adolf Hitler, etc. That'll give you a pretty good idea of what Amerika will look like by 2008!

More important than friends and family.
If Bush gets reelected, I will lose all of those things, because I'll get a passport and leave the country. I mean that.
I would certainly continue to speak out for the return of America's true values, even from another country, but I certainly will not stay in a nation that is slowly having its freedoms decayed while at the same time claiming to defend them. It just gets more and more fascist every day.

but I am absolutely obsessed with this election and I just don't know how I'll react if that fuckwit gets another term. I may have to be hospitalized under heavy sedation. For about four years.

...who feel the same way.
Cheney paid a visit to my town yesterday to speak to a bunch of well-off veterans and their families (as well as twist Kerry's words around like an unbaked pretzel). When they walked out of the hall, past all the laid-off workers, union members who can't make a decent wage, potential draftees, and even their fellow veterans, the contempt they had for us all was so strong you could feel it clear across the street.
This is America folks, the land of "I got mine; screw everyone else." I think if Bush gets re-elected, I'll pass on the heavy sedation and just go for the full-blown overdose.

In reality I imagine my family is more important to me than anything on earth, but taking that as a given for most people, nothing is more important than kicking these criminals out of office, preferably in a humiliating and resounding defeat. I literally think about it 24 hours a day because I dream about it all night.

almost every minute of the time I am awake. I've had atleast two or three dreams about the election so far. Good news is, Kerry won in the last dream. I woke up and unfortunately I knew right away that Bush was still president. Damn.

| 22. Being that I am new here, |
|
I am some what taken aback at the virocity of some of the replies. I would like to see Bush defeated. The country would be a nicer place with out his "leadership." Having said that, I am not consumed by it. I have my businesses, my grandson, my daughters, my motorcycle. All these things will keep me more than occupied until 2008 (should Bush win) and then he HAS to leave.
I will not run out screaming into the street enraged if Bush wins, though I may hang my head and sigh. Maybe curse Fox News for being the messenger. I'll go out and take a slow, meloncholy ride on my bike and ponder things for a while.
Kerry wins, I may let out a yelp, pump my fist in the air and do a celebratory wheelie or two.
Bush HAS to go, but I will not make any big life altering changes if he does not. Life, grimmer and bleaker will still go on.

And I love this country a hell of a lot more than * does. So it had damned well better be him that's leaving come November.
Besides, I'm too poor to move and suicide ain't pretty.
In all honesty, I have never wanted anything more in my life. The future of this country, let alone the future of many people in the world, depends on this election. * has to leave. That is it. Period.
