What will happen??
Published on October 20, 2006 By ShadowWar In US Domestic
If the Dems win the next election does it make them a liar? By that I mean since they have been whining that the last two elections were frauds, and stolen from them by the Republicans, does that mean that if the Repubs lose this one then the Dems have been wrong all this time and all that whining about the elections was a bunch of crap?
I mean if they can steal the election twice why not this next time, I mean if you’re going to commit fraud and steal an election why not do it three or four times in a row?

And if the Dems get elected what do you think will happen? Will they repeal all the tax cuts? If they do that and the economy starts to tank what will they blame then? If they decide to force a withdrawal from Iraq and we get attacked in the US or our interest abroad, does that mean they were wrong? Does that mean that the Repubs were right? If they fail with North Korea and we end up in a war were they wrong about wanting diplomacy?

You see I foresee a few things happening. If the Dems win this next election and even 2008, then you will see tax cuts being repealed and the economy slowing and beginning to get worse. Did you noticed we topped 12000 today in the NYSE? You will see a forced withdrawal from Iraq, and we will be looked at as having failed another war and even weaker then we were before. We will be attacked, most likely in the US. Borders will not be any safer than we are now, in fact I see it getting worse.

For all the Bush haters, what will you say when he does not declare martial law and lock up all you neighbors? What will you say when he does not declare himself dictator and lord of all the world? What about when the Dems who have been saying that they may think the US Government was part of 911, and they now have access to classified documents about it, and still find nothing? What about your conspiracy then?

Will all the supposed FEMA camps (That have been around since before FEMA) disappear or be exposed because the Dems are so much better? Or will you hear nothing?
I think that if the Dems get elected, you will see nothing coming to light, and things just get worse. And they won’t have Bush to blame (although they will try). It should be fun to watch as long as the US can survive until the next election.

If the Dems win, then about the only thing I would say we could count on is an attempt -- mind you and attempt, not an accomplishment or a completed act -- to repeal many of the Bush tax-cuts.

The problem will be that if the Dems win they will still have George W. Bush, lame duck that he may be, in office with a veto pen that hasn't seen much use.  Anything that the Dems try to pass through is subject to veto and I have a feeling we'd see near record numbers of vetos in Bush's final days in office.

Other than tax-cut repeals though, I don't think the Dems have any plans at all.  They claim to, but they don't.  They are no more ready for being the "ruling party" than the GOP was.  The Republicans have squandered opportunities, but for the most part the opportunity was squandered because the Democrats have been obstructionists.  That's an easy role to play.  The role of majority party, not so easy.

The Democrats will perhaps try a few things, but for the most part they'll get nothing done because the GOP will slide back into an obstructionist role.

All of this assumes that the GOP loses and the Dems win.  Something that is still far from guaranteed.

The taxes are set to expire.  They do not have to attempt anything.  They can just let them expire.

My god, ShadowWar's blog is probably one with the highest populism/word ratio I have read on this board. And that is something...

Do people are really influenced by those kind of half-lies?

If the Dems win surely the world will end....hey, that rhymed!

I think the government could do with a good change up, but hey, that's just me...I don't take politics all that seriously. (Another rhyme, damn...I'm on a roll today. )

If the Dems win - not much will change. They don't really have a chance to take the Senate, just the House. Consequently, even if they can get things past the House, the Senate will kill most "liberal" bills. And if they don't, the president will kill it. And they won't have anywhere near the amount of votes to overthrow the veto.
