#1 Replacing Bush I and facing these problems didn't bother Bill Clinton one iota. He didn't know, he didn't care, and was otherwise indifferent to the world and the US going to hell in a hand basket.

#2 Hey, Gerard - Hadda' get your own little zinger in there against the Bushites in the end there didn;t you?

You worthless sack of crap.

You don;t even dare to address the real issues. Thus, you leave it to more informed individuals who will (forgive me RBers as I miss a huge number of items).

What will we do when President Bush is gone and a Democrat inhabits the White House? Gosh, there are so many items to speculate about it boggles the mind, but here are a few of my own.

Immediate retreat of American forces from Iraq and Afghanistan. Pullout probably within 90-180 days from the war zone despite the fact that we will still have troops in Bosnia/Kosovo 12 years later when we were promised they'd be home by Christmas, and in Germany for the last 70 years.

Immediate reduction in funding of the US military such that it is eventually reduced to less than half its current size and unable to extend American power and foreign policy overseas. This will insure no future American foreign "adventurism".

Either a nuclear-armed Iran or a nightmarish radioactive cauldron of smoking debris, ash, and human misery in the Middle East (after Iran develops the bomb and attacks Israel igniting a nuclear conflagration).

A global economic meltdown the likes of which have never been seen before as oil supplies are suddenly rendered useless due to their being radioactively contaminated. Famine, panic, mass migrations, and death on a scale the world has never even conceived of.

Global military crises as China seeks to secure its oil supplies to the east and south igniting conflict with Japan, Indonesia and an anemic US Navy and AF battered by lack of supply, money, equipment, and morale.

An America battered by internal unrest as taxes soar spurred on by an administration dead set on providing universal abortion and health care to everyone including illegal aliens, amnesty to those same illegal aliens, and the right to vote for those illegal aliens versus those Americans who believe in the right to bear arms, the right of free speech, the right to freely practice one's religion openly, and the right of a free people not to bear unburdenable taxes.

An America so distracted by its own internal dissent that it no longer has time to disseminate freedom or liberty around the world, but it does have time to slash its own economy to ribbons by signing on to Kyoto while its rivals gladly applaud its "wise decisions".

An America where the moneyed "elite" more and more oppress the working majority in a "do as I say, not as I do" spray of environmental, social, and economic drivel.

An America where, more and more, armed groups begin standing up against the tyranny of an ever more authoritarian government that crushes their dissent with guns, tanks, and bombs wherever they take a stand until the point where the US military starts to ask itself questions about whether or not their actions against their own people are legal.

In short, world-wide chaos, war, and destruction because good men failed to stand when evil was prospering.

#3 BRAVO FOTSGreg!

However, I remember mourning for Reagan during the Clinton years, and Yet here comes Dubya.

I believe that the american people will, at the critical time, elect a leader that will prove capable of winning the battle. Remember, God looks after fools, drunks, little children, and the United States of America.

I fear that you are right.

#5 so the only reason that we should vote against the Republicans next year is so we can shut up the ever-adolescent members who make up the democratic party? How sage.

I half suspect they are so far removed from reality that they suspect that this is a winning slogan: We'll stop being stupid if you give us power.

#6 Ptah: "Remember, God looks after fools, drunks, little children, and the United States of America." That's a new version to me: I heard it as God looks out for Sailors and Fools and I was pleased as punch that I got double coverage.....
