So what does this election mean ?

[Gord]

So from what I can gather from the board today


Bush is now the Daddy

The republicans now control both houses and have complete control over the decision making process in the US

Soon there will be a clampdown in the US and Democrats will soon be dissapearing at night.

The internet will be banned and Bush can now start his quest for globlal takeover

is that it ?

 

[brokenbrainwave]

actually Bush does not have a mandate. It takes a vote of 60 in the Senate to have one.

 

[RawHumor]

And taxes will go down.





But don't forget swastikas appearing on the American flag, nobody having any rights at all, and, of course, anyone over the age of 60 will be left out in the streets to die.

I means we're going to hear a whole fucking lot about Sept. 11 in 2004.

 

[SINthysist]

It affirms a move to the right in American culture, a desire to assess just exactly what the consequences of unchecked Liberalism bring to a society.

And the Clinton's STILL don't understand that they were FIRED in 2000, not robbed.

Watching Dan Rather's tight set lips last night as he held up three fingers saying well, as far as I can project (and this was still VERY early in the evening), the Republicans will control the Presidency, The Senate, The House, and THE COURTS...

Priceless!

Is it not very unhealthy when one party becomes too strong in any democracy - they tend to forget about little things like culpability and god forbid the people

Tony B here now bypasses parliament and reveals all his policies on the BBC - of course the opposition is useless - but for demoracy it is a bad thing

A strong opposition is needed - you know checks and balances etc

 

[brokenbrainwave]

there will still be checks and balances. This is NOT a mandate for the Elephants to do as they wish.

what.

One election doesn't make an ideological change in the American people.

The Clinton comment was irrelevent and stupid.

Three fingers? What?
