Given the imminent arrival of the John Titor future I wonder if Bush is actually prepared to step down as President if he is not reelected. Will he try and find some underhanded way to remain in power, leading to the civil war? Obviously, this is different than how it happend to Titor, but we've already veered from his timeline anyway, so while the ends may be the same the way we get there could be different.

*I hope everyone takes this with a huge grain of salt *

I know you're joking about the John Titor business, but in all seriousness I'll be surprised if we go to bed on Nov. 2 knowing who the new President is.

 

[teiresias]

Well, I don't mean some rather nebulous voting issue like we had in 2000. Even if there is a clear and decisive Kerry victory I wonder if he'd try and find some way to weasel out of it - no doubt through the lame duck session and the Patriot Act.

 

[DarienA]

Well considering Cheney has threatened to attack America if they lose...

This is the dumbest thread ever.

 

[evil ways]

Bush already has 4 fleets of ships ready to set sail from the coast of Cuba and right into Miami, New York, Texas and California, in case he loses the election. The only hope will be to run up north to Canada and form a resistance.

 

[Gantz]

I doubt Bush is going to step down without a fight. Actually I can see a long legal battle come this november by both parties over the vote counts.

It's called "continuity of the administration during wartime", kiddies. Read the Emergency Powers Act. I'm personally surprised that Dubya even let us have an election this year.

 

[belgurdo]

4:1 chance that there's a "terrorist" attack that occurs right after Kerry wins

place your bets

I like to be in America, Okay by me in America.

Everything free in America, For a small fee in America.

I like the city of San Juan, I know a boat you can get on.

Hundreds of flowers in full bloom, Hundreds of people in each room!

Automoblie in America, Chromium steel in America.

Wire spoke wheel in America, Very big deal in America.

I'll drive a buick thru San Juan, If there's a road you can drive on.

I'll give my cousins a free ride, How you fit all of them inside?

Immigrant goes to America, Many hellos in America.

Nobody knows in America, Puerto Rico's in America.

When I will go back to San Juan, When you will shut up and get gone.

I'll give them new washing machine, what have they got there to keep clean?

I like the shores of America, Comfort is yours in America.

Knobs on the doors in America, Wall to wall floors in America.

I'll bring a T.V. to San Juan, If there's a current to turn on.

Everyone there will give big cheer, Everyone there will have moved here.

I like to be in America, Okay by me in America.

Everything free in America, For a small fee in America.

LOL and agreed.

 

[ConfusingJazz]

I am not saying anything, but don't let your children near Dick Cheney if it looks like he is going to lose. Just sayin'.

 

[Drozmight]

A fight to the death could go a long way in settling any election conflict. I hope Fidel Castro offers to send troops again. That'd make me smile, and laugh. Oh how I'd laugh and laugh!

We are not legally at war, nor is the homeland under any particular duress - thus the Emergency Powers Act (War Powers Act) doesn't even come close to applying.

Bush isn't LETTING us have an election, he lacks the legal power to prevent us from having them. Silly conspiracy boy....

Go on thinking that way if it makes you sleep easier at night. You think a nuke going off in an American city wouldn't put us under "any particular duress"?

Wait and see.

Sure, and an alien invasion would allow it as well. However that is not the situation today. Now if you want to pull some hypothetical from your ass and use that as a point of debate - no sale, try again.

 

[NohWun]

Bush can just declare Kerry to be an "enemy combatant" and lock him up and throw away the key. "I'm sure he was a threat to Amurca," Bush'll say, and, "God told me to do it."

People said the same exact thing about Clinton, when his second term was coming to a close.

Man, some people can convince themselves that anything will happen.
