IF BUSH WINS, what will we see in the next four years?

[Dawgs]

Use this thread to post your predictions-->

- Another terrorist attack - remember, terrorists are not fighting in a ground war. They have all the time in the world to wait for the appropriate time.

- Another recession because of high oil prices.

- Roe v. Wade overturned.

- Gay marriage amendment to the Constitution.


What do you think?

[democraticgator]

1. Stock market crash

Our ridiculously high reliance on foreign investors and deficit spending will catch up. Mark my words.

[ET Awful]

2. You forgot the following:

Privatization of social security.
Increase in children under poverty level and uninsured.
Draft.
Steadily increasing deficit.

[greenbriar]

3. Loss of power to women starting with reproductive rights

4 count em 4 ultra conservatives on the supreme court

[Hog lover]

8. Pam, this scares me the most because it will last through many Presidents

[Killarney]

4. a few things

far right supreme court appointments, the overturn of roe v wade and therefore huge abortion fights within the states, some states overturning, some not.

more war. big problems with iran.

another terrorist attack on us soil, unfortunately.

huge cuts in social programs and education, huge increases in defense and military, more deficit, falling dollar, huge recession if not depression.

[Zero Gravitas]

5. A draft

more stupid counter productive wars
massive deficit
delcine in living standards for most Americans
fear
continued rise in ignorance
fascism
Bush Supreme Court Appointments.

[Bhaisahab]

6. More wars for sure

But no terror strike unless cheney decides its time.

[Oreo]

7. War in Iran and Syria

And a draft

[BarbaRosa]

9. Early AM simplistic answer

War

A whole lot of -Bush blames...-

[kayell]

10. It's 1933 Germany, and we KNOW what will happen. Do we give up?

HELL NO

NO concession. NO surrender.

[Ready4Change]

11. Increased Govt Deficits and debt. Nosediving consumer confidence.

The raping of an ever smaller middle class, an enlarged lower class, an enriched and further isolated upper class.

All these things are tied together, I believe.

[LibDemAlways]

12. More pre-emptive wars

A draft

A clampdown on dissent.

Dismantling Social Security and Medicare

More outsourcing

Fewer job-related benefits for those lucky enough to have a job

More homeless

A terror attack that will make 9/11 look insignificant

The hatred and animosity of the rest of the world toward America and Americans

After four years, people will begin to wake up. But by then it will be too late.

[MallRat]

13. Chief Justice Scalia.

Un. Fucking. Believable.

If we don't get an 11th hour miracle in Ohio, our nation is really, really screwed, folks.

-MR

[noamnety]

14. attack on birth control

Government funds cut off to any clinic that provides birth control

Amendments to allow doctors, insurance companies, and pharmacists to refuse to provide birth control

no increase in minimum wage, despite inflation

[obreaslan]

15. In an ironic twist...

The death penalty for abortionists.

I still don't see how they can explain that moral paradox.

[Dawgs]

16. I didn't forget anything. I purposely left items off for you guys to add..

*

[Eurobabe]

17. Terrarist attack, the draft, martial law

let's see did I miss anything?

[drdigi420]

18. THEOCRACY and the death and destruction that religion causes

[Poll_Blind]

19. Regardless of the specifics, our country will be reduced to a...

...wasteland, stripped of the laws which protects us and the economy which feeds us and keeps us comfortable. We can and will fight it, but currently the fuckwit grim reaper holds Ace-high and we're King-high.

Another terrorist attack is a certainty as well as high oil prices and combative relations with the countries that control that resource. More beheadings, more soldiers falling, more companies waddling forward, pockets distorted with crimson cash.

And lots of suprises we can't predict or wouldn't dare imagine.

20. In terms of foreign events:

OPEC using the Euro
China and Japan calling back their money on the U.S. debt
More terror attacks on American soil.
Boycott of U.S. products by all nations

And that is just for starters...

[lastliberalintexas]

24. And that, my friends, is perhaps the scariest prospect of all

"OPEC using the Euro"

[pinballer]

21. the collapse of America.....

Increased outsourcing of US jobs to other coutries

Increased moves by Corporations to tax-free havens, insuring that the taxes paid by the People will heavily increase

Increased demonization of people who want religion and government to be kept seperate, leading to more "Roy Moores" who demand that religious icons and symbols adorn all Courts and public spaces

Worst of all-- the continued practise of placing Corporate hacks in positins of power over the running of the country and the protection of the environment; in effect, placing the very wolves who are the last people in the world who SHOULD be in charge of it in positions of control.

Increased Balkanization of our society, as the Religious fundamentalists and the assorted Rightwing factions of bigots, rednecks and flag-wavers demand to have their views and prejudices codified into law

Massively increased goverment spending....and deficits

More militarization and more wars, targeting the evil *wrong god* people in other nations

[newportdadde]

22. My view...

Stock Crash, it will be blamed on oil prices but we never did return to sane values like we should have after the first recession. This will be followed by ups and down as we slowly over 10 years get to were we are sane again sort of like Japans markets did a few years ago. We are currently setup really nice for a thumping over the next two years vai elliot wave.

Further deterioration of the middle class as our standard of living shifts down and India and China shift up.

The idiotic housing market bubble with its no money down loans and interest only loans currently trading houses like stocks will implode.. this will be a huge blow to everyone in the country.

Good chance of another terrorist type attack.. I’d say 65% chance.

Social Security is made private… two years later companies all across the country slowly phase out their own 401k plans etc saying “We already match your SS private account”.

Interest rates in the double digits.

[Ducks In A Row]

23. New Orleans under water from the global warning

they'll deserve it

[Triana]

25. birth control OUTLAWED...

women not allowed to get an education
women not allowed to work outside the home except in state-approved circumstances
women must wear burkas and have clitorectomies

....This is the American Taliban...
