What do you think Bush will do if he loses?

[Kid_A]

Do you think he'll just retire quietly in Texas, or will he stay in the political arena like Clinton?

[lpbk2713]

1. What do you mean "if" he loses?

He has a snowball's chance in Hell at this point.

[Kid_A]

I say "if" because...

we know what happened the last time he lost an election. Even though it looks like he can't win right now, that's when he's the most dangerous.

[hippiegranny]

21. haha, that's exactly what i was going to say...

... what do you mean "if", kemosabe!?!

[Parche]

2. arena

No one would want to hear him speak
"Strategery"

[demnan]

3. He'll go home to Houston and pout, like his father

n/t

[Warpy]

14. Pout? Not likely.

He'll stay behind the scenes, like his string-pulling daddy, doing RNC fundraising, shaking down the rich and the stupid for his brother's run in 2008.

[NoPasaran]

4. I hope he does some prison time

But even if that doesn't come to pass I doubt he'd remain active politically. Let's face it, he's lazy and bored with his job already.

[LionInWinter]

5. Same thing he'd do if he won ...

have a drink! :beer: or two :beer::beer: or three :beer::beer::beer:

[Tyler Durden]

6. Stage a "terrorist attack"....

...declare martial law, invalidate the election, disolve congress...

All of the above?

[Tamiati]

26. agreed

Sounds like the chimp doesn't it?? Look what happened at our last election.

Probably declare all of America terrorists.

[truthspeaker]

7. cry like a little kid

that's what he is, basically. Then look for people to blame it on because it couldn't possibly be his fault.

[wryter2000]

8. Don't know what Bush* will do

But Richard Mellon Scaife will get his checkbook out and start in on persecuting Kerry.

[MallRat]

25. Persecuting? You must mean PROSECUTING.

Am I the only one who believes that if the Democrats don't retake Congress, an impeachment attempt on a President John Kerry is a virtual LOCK?

-MR

[GOPisEvil]

9. He'll get appointed to a bunch of corporate boards.

Basically he'll get paid to do nothing, which describes his whole life. Hey, maybe his old buddy Tom Hicks will sell him a piece of the Texas Rangers again. :eyes:

[BarbaRosa]

10. He'll probably join his father

ensuring that Saudi asses are sufficiently sucked.

[molly]

11. Cry - lie down on the floor and stomp his feet

while sucking his thumb.

[RobertSeattle]

12. He's an empty suit - a figure head only

Once his usefullness is over his minders, he'll sit on a couple of corporate boards and make the occasional convention speech, but he'll be a nobody.

[Tamiati]

27. Figure Head Only

Yes, that is what the Presidency has become. Our country truly is run by the corporate elite who have set their eyes on the global scale.

So will it really make a difference when KERRY wins?? Or will we finally see the cloak drawn away & the masquerade for what it is?
We shall see come 2005 when a "new" cabinet is installed.

[bowens43]

13. Coke

[napi21]

15. No Corp. Boards, just disappear to play golf with Poppy.

I don't believe Corp. Board jobs because most of those go to people with good "Connections". Shrub doesn't have any himself...they're all Poppy's.

I don't think he'll retire to Crawford becauase what he does there is all for show now, and Laura doesn't like it there.

He's really not interested in politics. I think he did it because Poppy asked him to give it a try and see if you can get Sadaam for me. I really believe there are lots of times he says to himself & Laura...Man, they really want me to work in this job and I don't like it.

[Jack from Charlotte]

39. I agree. AWOL/Moron does Golf...... period. (NFM)

[Birthmark]

16. He'll go back to Crawford.

He'll have no pull in the Republican Party because he has no ideas. Hell, he doesn't have any power now, they damn sure won't give him any come January. He'll just go back to the ranch, fall off stuff, talk to God, and convince himself that he was done in by the powers of Darkness. He'll probably take to drinking heavily, too.

[Jack from Charlotte]

40. No way. That pig ranch was just bought as a PR ploy......

to appear like a Texan rather than the Connecticut.... Andover Academy guy he really is. I say he goes to Houston or some such and plays golf.

[onehandle]

17. Puppet politicians fade away. He'll be powerless. nt

[Minstrel Boy]

18. Same thing he did last time he lost:

say he won.

[Journeyman]

19. He'll probably be asked to be Commissioner of Baseball. . .

and will spend the rest of his days going to ball games, throwing out the first pitch, and being sucked up to by toadies and sycophants.

[The empressof all]

29. This is so funny

I thought the same exact thing. After all he is out to destroy the country and if he's not successful at totally screwing up the government there is always the "national past-time".

[Jack from Charlotte]

41. Too stupid for that job, too. (NFM)

[Poiuyt]

30. He can get advice on baseball from his father

[Oddman]

20. It's back to the bottle for bush!

YeeHaw!!!

[zbdent]

22. Teach public speaking to some right-wing religious school

(okay, that's satire, folks!)

[FlemingsGhost]

23. Laugh all the way to the bank, unless we put him in jail.

Does America have the nerve, or will it be Nixon all over again?

[HEyHEY]

24. Cry to his momma

I CAN'T WAIT TO HEAR THAT CONCESSION SPEECH!

[Vickers]

28. Oh, he'll probably return to being a rancher

:eyes:

[Bridget Burke]

32. He was never a rancher.

His place near Crawford was a pig farm before he bought it; the former owner manages it, with a few head of cattle.

He'll put the place up for sale--in fact, a good friend will probably buy it so it doesn't fall into the wrong hands. Then he'll move to a gated community near a golf course.

[Vickers]

34. *pssssst* notice the emoticon in my post up there

;)

[amjsjc]

31. Get himself a new facial expression...

[chiburb]

33. 25 years to life at the Hague....n/t

.

[TexasSissy]

35. He'll go back to the awl bidness.

[SammyWinstonJack]

38. I wasn't aware he ever left

the "awl bidness". :shrug:

[greekspeak]

36. If he somehow loses the election

he will probably use every dirty, conniving trick in the book to stay in power. Make that his handlers, the puppet masters that are the executive branch. Jeb's Florida is already scrambling to reenact the 2000 debauchery with purge lists and hackable voting systems. Ironically, the sec. of state does not do this...the local officials are forced to do this. I am sure that if they do not do it "right," it will be sent back to them to be done over. I am waiting to go to the polls come November, if there is an election, and be told I am not on the list because of a "computer error."

There will be lawsuits, gladhanding, slander, lies, martial law, whoremongering; whatever it takes to keep the PNAC agenda on the table.

I am trying not to get too emotionally attached to this election. I lost hours of sleep at the last election cycle, naively ignorant in my worst nightmares of how bad it would get. A month after the election, I lost my grandmother. On inauguration I drank until I passed out. With the loss of family and the gain of an idiot in the WH, I was awefully depressed. So please don't think me a pessimist. The Boy Scouts, for what it is worth, taught me to "be prepared." That is just what I am going to be for the next few months.

[CO Liberal]

37. He'll Declare Martial Law...

...and appoint himself "President for Life".

[Jane Eyre]

42. Impeach the Lame Duck!!!

This stuff ain't going away any time soon, but the Republicans in Congress may be just a bit too afraid for their own hides to do anything towards impeachment before November.

But imagine if Shrubbie loses - and loses big. What happens then? Do the Republicans in Congress:

1) Start shredding documents and keep stonewalling?
2) Join the soon-to-be-in-the-majority Democrats in calling for impeachment?
3) Demand recounts and Supreme Court intervention on every election?
4) Some combination of all of the above?

[BurtWorm]

43. I hope he'll do 25-life.

;) I don't care what he really does so long as I never have to give one more thought to him.

[Cocoa]

44. write a bestselling book about his life

just kidding.

[Zorra]

45. I hope someone can keep him away from those red buttons.

I'm afraid he might throw the ultimate temper tantrum.

[TankLV]

46. Barracade himself and his "dick" inside the whitehouse while their lawyers

stall, and stall and try to argue that "he's the war president!" - while holding the "black bag" and threatening to use it if we don't agree to let him "win" again!

I am only being half-sarcastic here - that's how bad it is getting.

Did you hear him "speak" in that strange language on David Letterman last night?

Be afraid. Be very afraid of a cornered angry animal.

[LiberalFighter]

47. Hopefully, the right thing...

so that he totally dishonors his name and his daddy's name forever. And we never hear from the pos.

[pinniped]

48. Hopefully the POS * will get expelled from Earth and the aliens...

can come beam his sorry ass back to the mothership.
