3. It is simply amazing how alike Imperial Amerika is to our Sister Nation, BushPutinist Russia
Amazing.

Watch what happens when BushCheney's handpicked successor, McBush, ascends the Imperial Throne after the Phony Election.

Oh, some of the top cabinet positions MAY change a little (plausible deniability, you know) but damned near every single Bushie Crminal is goign to be left in osition.

Just like our Sister Nation in the New Totalitarianism, Russia. We are them and they are us. No doubt about it.
